None of the 4 lowest have EVER won a Super Bowl. I don't think incredibly low dead cap space is particularly something to try to win at. I would trade dead cap space for a SB trophy in a heartbeat.

I have a similar, if not exact same view.

While having a low dead cap is good, it could also mean you're holding onto players too long.

It's obvious too that certain teams understand there are championship windows and are ok with throwing a lot of guarantees and big contracts to win in that window, even if it means having some down years following.
If it results in a Super Bowl win (like the Rams), it was worth it, IMO.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
