How much cap space do we have.

Teams may "know how to handle the cap" but facts prove that it includes cutting players and replacing them with cheaper players.  All you have to do is pay attention to free agency every year.  There are always guys who are released for cap reasons.

Any team can push payday down the road, but they can't make it disappear.

If we had a core of older players and the window was closing I'd be more likely to sacrifice the future for one shot at a Super Bowl.  It worked for the Rams this year.  But look at the Bronco fans.  They won a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning 7 years ago but have not been back to the playoffs since.  This was their 5th straight losing season.

I would like to imagine that Mike Florio know more about footbal than either of us.

If you think otherwise, you should quit your day job, which was the same as him… and start writing about football.

And the broncos won the SB in spite of manning. But usually without above average qb play, you don’t make it to the SB. Even still, they have 3 more SBs than the bengals. I would venture to guess every bengals fan, except you, would take a SB and then 7 years of not reaching the playoffs. Imagine if the packers were not idiots and had drafted tee Higgins instead of Jordan love (planning for the future), they would have most likely faced the chiefs last year in the SB. In turn, we may not have had that opportunity.

If there was ever a time to go all in, it would be before, not after we have to pay Joey and the boys.
