The four you listed would cost 45.  That just leaves 23 million.

So how do we sign Uzomah, Hill, Ogunjobi, Apple, plus allm our other free agents for 3 to 8 million to be 15-20 million under the cap?

Planning on our #31-32 pick to be an instant starter as a rookie is not smart?

If the cap was as easy to manipulate as you claim then we would not see the wave of free agents that are cut for "cap reasons" every year.

You have no clue how the cap works.  None at all. To do this we would have to backload all of the deals and possible restructure existing contracts which we wont do. My point is its possible and easy to do if the FO wanted to do it. Im not saying its smart, im saying the cap is so easily manipulated that we could do that if we wanted. AAV is not cap number. I explained this earlier as well. It the same way the eagles and saints have made near 100 million in cap overages just disappear. Its the same way the steelers have restructured every single deal year after year to push money forward. There are alot of ways to manipulate the cap year after year and alot of teams do it. Once again this is not what im suggesting, im simply illustrating how easy it is to do.
