He paid DJ, Hali, JC, Flowers, and Succop (lol) this season alone.
He paid Orton $2.6MM to start 3 games and ride the pine for 3.
We have spent real $ the last few years well over the $100MM mark per year even with a young team yet people get hung up on salary cap $ rather than cash spent, which is hilarious because you don't want to be bumping the salary cap ever.
But it's easy and simple to say Clark is cheap or we would have signed ummmmmmm that guy who cost a bunch of $ that kicked ass, his name is ummmmmmmmmmm, shit you know what I mean.

Yet they were waaaaay under the cap..
It is not simple as both are saying, but there is some truth to it... Clark if he were as smart as some want to say would of used that money to sign a couple more guys, Bowe/Carr this year... Well that is if he plans on keeping them.. Now, you just have less leeway next year if you plan on to pay them..
