However I feel that at some point we will spend a big chunk of that money on extensions or new free agents.
If the season starts and Mike has not spent the money then I will agree with Bfine. But I think it is too early to say right now.
The problem with the OP's premise is that that amount of money doesn't actually exist in terms of available cap space.
The 24 mil or whatever in cap space people are seeing does not include the incoming rookie salaries. Burrow and Higgins will add about 7.5-8 mil alone. Our actual current cap space, when accounting for the added rookie deals is probably going to be between 10-14 mil, depending on who later gets released to make room for the new guys.
Add in a new Mixon deal, and that numbers probably looks something like 7 mil in space. Add in a Warford deal in addition to that, or another vet brought in, and then we're right up against the cap. There is no 17 mil Mike is sitting on right now. And even if he keeps the entire 10-14 mil that I just projected, that means keeping Dalton would have prevented us bringing in someone like Von Bell.
You know a statement about Mike Brown sitting on money has to be completely absurd and unfair for me to rush to his defense. Bfine is going out of his way to reintrouduce a topic that he beat into the ground months ago. It's trolling at it's finest (worst).
Go kick rocks, Bfine. I've never seen a poll so lopsided on here. Your thread stinks.
