It still puts them at a disadvantage in whatever year the money hits.
Yes, the advantage is slightly less because the cap goes up. But it’s not a myth. It still hits and it is still money the team can’t spent that another team can.
good observation. By pushing the money down the road, the cap goes up to cover the overage but, you have $10mm to spend and the other guy has $40mm to spend.
mom not saying I have a problem with it but I think you’re addressing the reality.
another consideration to counter this is cycles. When you have a team with lots of talent and you’re making real runs at the Super Bowl, you kick the can to keep it together. At some point, the team will clear it out. Some teams have a couple down years and other go in the tank but look at these teams with TONS of cap space. Most of not all are bad teams. The don’t have great players to pay.
