They ABSOLUTELY have the $$$ to bring in other talent - they’re choosing NOT to. Even with Dak’s Cap Hit next year, they could have over $50M in Cap Space WITHOUT touching his contract. They could’ve had the same $20+M they have right now BEFORE FA had they just given CeeDee and Dak what they ultimately caved in and gave them anyway. This is on the FO
Do they though? Sure, they could sacrifice the teams future and not resign Parsons and Smith, eat massive cap hits later by restructuring some contracts and go for broke now. Tbh, I'm not against it, but the FO doesn't have the cojones to do it. This core though, it's rotten. Dak needs more help than his pay grade implies. Lamb is a headcase. Diggs isn't looking too great. Lawrence is old. Parsons is soft. Tyler Smith is the only one I even like in the bunch right now.
Ya, the FO screwed up bigtime by giving out that money. Wouldn't be so bad if the players that were paid were playing up to their contracts. They aren't. Now we have a team full of highly paid, soft, mediocre divas. I don't even see the point of mortgaging the future.
