I think this is actually very smart. Don’t waste cap space on expensive older players who will be gone or bad risks in 1-2 years. Don’t waste cap space on bums prior to camp. There will be veterans available at every position during training camp and preseason cuts. Wait and see if young guys step up on the OL, pass rush, WR, etc. Give those guys a chance; then you’ll know what you need at a time when better vets are available via release or very good vets via cheaper trades.

If the young’s guys show up in camp, save most of that money for critical unexpected injuries or roll it into next year.

That perspective makes me feel a little better, but not much.
The Rams just won the SB, using free agency heavily

Unless they are holding this money for Dak next year
I am not happy with this.
You can't ignore free agency and be a successful team.

It's completely unrealistic for a team to eschew free agency and expect to advance deep into the playoffs and win a Super Bowl. We can waste time blaming this player or that coach, etc. etc...it's all window dressing.
You basically would have to dominate the draft process 3-4+ consecutive years, which again is unrealistic.

We all know why Cleveland is at the top of the list, and have 119% more space than 2nd place Dallas ---
The Browns paying the mutiple masseuse-seeker only $1 million for the upcoming season.
That, plus $9 million of his signing bonus comes out to Watson taking up only $10 million of the team's 2022 cap.
