But their position to spend doesn't change because every team gets the same increase. They are just as cap poor relative to the rest of the league.
A lot of those teams already had room they weren't using. Giving them more room not to use, while it's technically an equivalent advantage, practically it'll do nothing for them.
On the other hand, teams with a history of using every ounce of their cap space can be expected to do the same with the increased cap. There's always the question of whether or not tens like the Cowboys spend wisely--and many times we do not--but at the macro level, our willingness to spend as much as we can does give us a theoretical advantage over that block of teams who are unwilling to do so.
