Haha. I knew the post would generate discussion. I should clarify with a more careful choice of words - what I meant was: again I don't believe we broke any rules. I don't think we should lose any cap money.

BUT we did to spend more than others in the league (within the rules) to get rid of a bad contract we signed (Haynesworth). We normally would not have been allowed to do this, and this gave us a competitive advantage -- which to my knowledge was completely within the rules.

Just saying, it is odd that others did not restructure their contracts and create tons of cap room.. Although we stayed within the rules, we did do more than most other clubs, and certainly gained an advantage which we did not have before doing so.
