It matters, even if at that time you are $30MM under the cap. Now look at the crossroads we are at.
As I stated I was never part of the just pay the man crowd and I am not part of it now. The contract needs to be very reasonable.

I agree with your overall point, however I don't think any of the contracts Pioli handed out have hurt us.
What's hurting us, IMO is that we haven't drafted worth a shit, so we don't have a lot of players that contribute that are still on their first (and inexpensive) contract.
If we don't start drafting better, this is likely going to be a problem for a while - or, we're going to have to start letting some good players go.
