You can, but with less than $10m to work with it doesn't open a lot of doors to make any splash signings. I would expect another sunshine pumping hype train about a bunch of rotational guys that we ultimately sign and expect to play key roles on our team. We'll also hear about how our roster is stacked after signing said rotational players. And then we'll wonder why we get the same results on Sunday.
And as always, we don't have the ability to cut a guy to create space. When Taylor Lewan's knee was done, right or wrong he was cut with zero cap impact to the Titans.
If Ramczyk can't play because of his condition, we're going to have to figure out how to account for his $35m in dead money, and restructuring him would almost certainly be off the table. Had we paid Ramczyk according to the original contract (as the Titans did with Lewan), we would only be looking at around $8m in dead money.
And before someone says the Titans cap strategy is irrelevant because they suck, they have more playoff trips in the last five years than we do, including a trip to the AFCCG. We've also only won two more games than them over the past two years.
