IMO this is all much ado about nothing. CP had to do plenty of "caprobatics" to get this year's team under the cap, and he did it with minimal furore. As has already been pointed out, Grbac's inflated bonus and salary accounts for a large portion of the excess. Restructuring of his and other veteran's contracts, and release of certain other players will bring us back in line in time to sign next year's draft picks. This is one thing that CP does better than most GMs - negotiating and renegotiating (OK, that's 2 things!). We'll likely find we'll be way over the 2002 cap when that offseason comes around and so on and so forth. So we probably might as well get used to it.
