We may lose one to two people a year Smoot and Pierce (very good salary cap move this year) that we believe are critical due to the salary cap. How many of us would have thought losing Arrington two years ago as a salary cap casualty would have been devastating to this team, I for one would have thought I would just die not the case. These players can be replaced. The raiders are not the best team to talk about salary cap management they could be in worst shape then us and their moves have not panned out anywhere near like ours are starting to. Previous years we spent and spent, but we may have to suffer through a year or two here and there where we are not as flashy and kill the free agent market due to limited cap like this year we took some hits even with Coles, but it seems to be working out. Keep the bulk of the team intact with little turnover and filling with role players will be our key to success, good managing

Good Post. Unlike myself, who experience salary cap HELL every payday, Snyder did not build his current empire ignorant to creative finance. Suprisingly, as ridiculous as some of the aquisitions have been. Snyder has without fail opened his wallet to make the whatever latest, coach's whim materialize. That AIN'T a bad owner. With Gibbs in place, the BUILDING process has begun for now and the future. In the process, I think the cap situation will be relieved.
