I'm amazed that Gibbs and Snyder can't see that in the salary cap age, most successful teams win with roster stability.

They can easily hold onto Taylor if they want. Spread the dollars out and restructure. The question is if he wants to stay. He has already shown a distaste for his original contract. He will probably hold out this offseason and after the idiotic contract for Archuletta, he probably should.
The problem isn't the cap, the cap will never be a long term problem for them under the current rules. I see the player turnover as the real problem.
