And, that's fine... they need to do better with the draft. If Lynch turns out to be the QBotF, then the Miller money isn't going to cramp them in regards to what they're paying the QB for the next several years as his cap number in 2019 (final of rookie contract) is just over $3M.
They're making bets, which all teams do. If they had signed Brock to the deal he wanted, then it's a totally different situation at this point.
We'll see how this mega contract impacts their cap number very soon. The salary cap has risen $10-12M each year, so who knows what it continues to do over the next 3 years.
It's all about placing bets.
