We generally have cap space. Like this year...we had somewhere around $22 million in cap space yet teams with much less cap space like the Steelers tagged Bell, extended Brown and Tuitt to huge contracts AND signed Haden to a large contract.
We're saving up for re-signing players who will be eventually disgruntled because they also like to win.
Only more money will keep them here and we'll just call them "long-in-the-tooth" when they want to go elsewhere.
Of course they're old. They've wasted away with bad coaching and management that won't bring in FAs to win NOW.
