Is this following a possible strategy? Clear cap space, win big now, and keep pushing the cap crunch down the road, and keep winning, and then, when it is finally time to pay the piper, clear all the cap and begin your rebuild.
The fact that Cleveland can get free agents and win now is not a good thing for the Bengals. The same with the other competitors that are pushing the cap down the road to win now. Yes, eventually they will become the Rams and the Bucs and have to jettison good players, but in the meanwhile the Rams and the Bucs have won Super Bowls.
Of course, I would prefer the level of KC dominance year after year, but they also lucked out with getting Mahomes under contract for ten years before QB salaries went through the roof.
