It's not that hard to follow.
They rolled over unused cap space from 2011 to 2012. Meaning they didn't spend to cap in 2011. They left money on the table. They did the same 2012. The same in 2013. The same in 2014. The same in 2015. It goes on and on and on...
You're right. It is a real easy concept. If they were actually spending to cap, or close to it, there wouldn't be money to roll over EVERY SINGLE YEAR. You're now talking about extensions for guys that weren't even on the books when this idea of rollover started.
And don't even get me started on the "emergency fund". What emergencies exactly? Explain them to me. Why don't other teams have them built into their spending? Can you give one single example where we needed 10 million dollars in any single season to cover injury settlements and the like?
IT'S ALL BULLSHIT. They throw some bologna year after year, about rookie pools and rollover, and injury settlements, and unicorns and bigfoot's magical dick. It's all bunch of garbage to divert your attention from the fact that they spend less than other teams.
You don't need 10 million to cover emergencies, you don't need to set aside funds for players beginning immediately after their rookie seasons. The cap changes, players come and go, situations change. This idea that we forever this holding pattern of not being to spend because of drafts and future deals is smoke and mirrors. All teams have to deal with these issues. Yet NO ONE ELSE is rolling over money every single damn year.
The fact is, you believe because you want to. And that's ok. Perhaps your so blindly by your fandom and loyalty to this team that you just don't want to see it. But it's simple math. Money goes unspent. Regardless of whether or not they have to roll it over, it would be rolled over in the first place if they spent to cap. And yeah, maybe sometimes to you need to set aside for the future. But for 5 straight years?
Wake up...
You dont know what you are talking about. This isnt the 90s. Read up on it. Learn something because you just dont understand it. I feel like ive tried to explain it to you 3 years in a row
Here are the numbers.

We actually spent over what the salary cap was set at. But we had rollover. Which changes our individual cap limit. The money we didnt spend up to the adjusted cap we just rolled over for use this year. Like I said earlier if we would have been able to get extensions done with Iloka and Marvin Jones last summer that money we just rolled over to this year would have gone to them. And you wouldnt be crying about Mike Brown. But they wanted to test the market. We cant make them sign. But we had ammo to try to get them to sign.
Our front office has been running like a well oiled machine. They keep giving us playoff contenders. They just put together a 12-4 team. You sir are the one that needs to wake up.
