Leaving 6 mil in Lamar's pockets instead of using it on the field

[BigRedChief]

The leaving 6 million under the cap is pissing me off more and more. I just can't let it go.

If Carl and DV didn't see anyone out there that they wanted to sign as it has been argued, why not restructure exsisting contracts to use the cap room now and have more money next year to spend?

There is only one conclusion from this....They were and are beng cheap.

And as a fan and season ticket holder to not try your best to put the best team out on the field is inexcusable and a slap in the face to the loyal fans...

this is pissing me off to no end.. Dammit Carl!

Thanks foe letting me vent. I feel much better now.

And instead of questioning if we spent enough money we should be wondering who evaluates the talent we've already spent money on, and how we can improve that process.

Historically, we've been fairly poor at identifying and measuring talent on roster.

BS. The bottom line is that under the NFL rules we could have spent according to Holtis #'s another $4 million against the cap and we didn't.

It's not a friggin budget figure. Its a possible player that maybe would have improved our team.If Lamar doesnt spend that $4 million this year his account is $4 million richer.WTF do you have to argue? If you don't spend $4 million guess what you still have $4 million.

BS? Ok. Let's assume BRC makes 150k annually. Now if your wife said that she had budgeted 1 Million for Christmas purchases, yet only spends 10K, do you have a free 990K?

Please explain where the 990K is...

I think you just like to argue. Prove you are right or whatever. I'm not wasting another second on this with you. My point is very clear. You can say my point's not valid. Okay. Get over it.

Im not exactly sure what your point is...but what I do know is no one is 'pocketing' any money because the Salary Cap figure wasnt reached. the front office said they had no cash to sign big FA's which would require actually more than the 4M cap figure.

For instance, Wistrom, which KC was interested in would have cost the club over 15M in cash...while that would have only been 2-4M towards the cap number, it required much more in the way of actual dollars.
