Andy Dalton is Steal (Props to Front Office)

[Joelist]

Lest we forget in the Rats Flacco purgatory the new deal was almost mandatory because the old one had them in literal cap jail both this season and going forward. So, for the sake of gaining 6 million in cap room this year they basically have made him uncuttable until 2019 and next year will be right back in cap purgatory. Then there are the Eugene Monroe and Jimmy Smith deals which are having the same effect. Not to mention the Dennis Pitta deal.

We may get angry at times at the front office, but you have to admit the policy of frontloading instead of backloading deals has kept us in much better cap straits.
