Regarding this dead money issue I don't give them much credit at all for the reasons I've already mentioned.

1. They don't spend money on Free Agents.

2. They are probably the least likely team to cut ties with players that are under contract.

These are the 2 biggest reasons that go into their dead money rankings. If you are excited about this or think this is some great FA maneuvering by Mike Brown then by all means celebrate. I for one am not sold.

The flaw in your logic here is, while simply not signing free agents and not cutting guys early would be no reason to celebrate, they do it while being one of the most successful teams on the field over the last 4 years. This would then show that they have drafted so well the need for high priced FA's is not there and that they do not award such large contracts that they must cut guys early in order to fill gaps in their line up to be successful.

There are large numbers of teams that do both things you point out above that don't get close to our success. That was the point is a macro view of the whole situation as they are interconnected.
