I thought last year, we had miraculously worked around it. A $36 million cap hit is massive and we've done much better than Mara probably had envisioned, but you know, look at our big holes right now...they WOULD have been addressed with that money. I do believe we're now seeing the impact of it.

Next year, we're going shopping big time and we're in great shape considering the penalty. Allen and Shanahan handled it the best they could have. They tried addressing the holes through the draft that we should have been signing the top FAs to. It's all they could do.
