Absolutely not. They fought hard for the cap and league parity and are the gold standard in that regard.

I asked more rhetorically than anything. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around dedicating so much cap space to so few bodies. It's almost like they are trying to be the Dodgers, but they forgot they have a hard cap to work under. Just seems odd, unless they know something nobody else does.

They're trying to buck the current trend. The Bills, Chiefs, and Ravens are spreading WR resources while the Bengals are consolidating.

It's a bold yet risky strategy. If it pays off, they will be way ahead of the rest of their peers. If it fails, they probably no longer have a Super Bowl window.

I mean they'll be able to score, there's no denying that, but they still got to get the D right. Good luck with those two contracts plus Burrow but I'm no salary cap expert
