Q: What competitive advantage did the Redskins and Cowboys gain?
A: Extra cap room.
Q: How would they take advantage of this advantage?
A: By spending it on player salaries.

I may not be the brightest knife in the shed, but I think I may have spotted a flaw in the argument.

I'd imagine the arguement is going to be that by freeing up all that space we in the future would be able to sign all the top talent in FA and no one else would be able to. However what was presented to me that I didn't know was all the CAP room the other teams had which really makes the arguement a moot point since they had just as much if not more CAP space to pick up all the top FA's.
