You say that as if spending 89% of your cap on a rolling 4 year average is some easy feat, especially for a team that hasn’t drafted incredibly well.
I don’t understand why this is worth debating. Teams with tons of cap space tend to overspend all the time and typically overspending in free agency is a trap.
You can find the occasional stud but usually the best free agents are the Baun types, the bargains who you get to see thrive in your environment before paying them the true big bucks.
Watch what happens this off-season. There will be more head scratchers from those teams loaded with space once most of the week 1ers are gone.
I mean, JAX signed a WR without a single 1,000 yard season to his name to a 4-year $72m contract two years ago and are now cutting him. It’s a cautionary tale IMO.
