Portis and the Cap 101

Wow Canuck, what a post. And I thought all you canadians did was watch hockey and ice-fish!

I am very curious to see how all these cap numbers line up. I figure they are trying to build a three year team, with options on the 4th and 5th, maybe. Then we chop it all down and start again.

Everyone keeps crowing about the pats FA philosophy and dumping on the skins, but it may be that in the era of caps and FA, you CAN buy a good team on short notice, if you lay out the fat bonuses, and back-load the contracts. Then if you have a good coaching staff, you should be able to win. I just don't buy the claim that a less talented bunch of atheletes is necessarily better because they cost less! I am no Yankee fan, but they do win penants.

Are we really headed for cap hell? Or is this the beginning of the dreaded Dan Snyder era, where you can buy a championship, if you buy champions?
