Potential benefits...

You both make good points.

I didnt forget about resigning our own big names (Moore/Thomas/Harper?, etc) and ensuring team continuity. Even after the must haves are lined up we still should still have room for one or two good FA's, within the new guidelines. I think the old mandatory spending cap was much lower than the new proposed cap. This is the point I was focusing on in my initial post.
Moore Thomas and Harper are not the problem. Brees, Nicks and Porter are the one that are going to cost a lot of money. Porter and Nicks will have to wait but I think we'll resign Brees this year and if we do, you can forget about any other major FA.
