Also funny how the "expert" has failed to explain why we have the term "cap casualty" when there are magic beans that allow teams to get around the cap.

If you don't care about the future you can bump the consequences down the road, but as I have point out, the very team that the "expert" claimed always worked around the cap (Steelers) just had to cut a couple of starters to get under the cap this year and were unable to re-sign multiple other starters.

You can push the consequences down the road, but you can't just make the problems disappear forever.

I shouldent have said it would spread over 7 years, thats completely on me.  I was and still am aware that it can only be spread over 5 years.  You did not correct me in any way.  I used a poor over exaggerated example to simply make the point of AAV vs Cap. I never expected that somebody would take that over exaggerated example and take it into cap analysis as if that was what i was actually suggesting.   I should have just put on there what i would suggest that we offer Bozeman.  5 yrs 45 mil 15 mil signing bonus.  Depending on structure that can be as low as 4 mil cap hit in the first year.

You continue to dilute the argument as if the steelers are the only team participating in cap manipulation as this is a league wide thing for the most part, some more than others.  Most fan bases dont care about cap and would happily kick can down the road if that means playing for super bowls more frequently.  You also can make the problems disappear for over a decade while competing for championships every year and then when Burrow is gone we know its a complete rebuild anyway and we start over with cap and trying to find a QB thats good enough to put us in position to start the whole process over again.
