klos63 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Or because the cap is an issue. It's an 'issue' because it's something every team has to deal with. Not because a bunch of old ladies need something to piss and moan about. Thinking they know more about the cap situation then the team does.
sodbuster Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Or because the cap is an issue. Its an issue? We still have space! Meanwhile, Miami, who had no space, is printing off the biggest defensive contract ever, and the Saints are overspending more than the federal government.
Green Lightning Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 We've just given up on you people. Go cry yourselves to sleep every night worrying about the cap if you want. I shed no tears Mr. Overstatement. All I have said from the get go is that the cap is not irrelevant to how we build this team this year and what's coming next year. Why is that so offensive to you?
Reed83HOF Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 John Wawrow @john_wawrow 16s16 seconds ago Based on what I'm told, there is no need to update any references regarding Hughes' status in AP story written earlier today as of yet.

Looking ahead to Dareus and Gilmore, etc, yes, it's not irrelevant as some make it seem.

Meanwhile, Miami, who had no space, is printing off the biggest defensive contract ever, and the Saints are overspending more than the federal government. Why isn't Demarcus Ware a Cowboy? We've just given up on you people. Go cry yourselves to sleep every night worrying about the cap if you want. I shed no tears Mr. Overstatement. All I have said from the get go is that the cap is not irrelevant to how we build this team this year and what's coming next year. Why is that so offensive to you? Because you're forcing him to reconcile a fantasy that gives him comfort with the cold reality that threatens it.
NoSaint Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Why isn't Demarcus Ware a Cowboy? Because you're forcing him to reconcile a fantasy that gives him comfort with the cold reality that threatens it. Because he was aging, dealing with injuries, had a 16m cap hit and was playing a new position in a new scheme?
Rob's House Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Because he was aging, dealing with injuries, had a 16m cap hit and was playing a new position in a new scheme? Or in other words, because of the salary cap.

NoSaint Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Or in other words, because of the salary cap. I think I made a pretty good argument for "poor value" too which is related but a second cousin.
papazoid Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 And this means what? that nothing has changed from his earlier report that basically said making progress but still working on it.
Rob's House Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I think I made a pretty good argument for "poor value" too which is related but a second cousin. You made a decent argument but one that I believe is wrong based on the things Jerry said and the situation overall. Jerry's not hurting for cash, he likes his toys, and Ware was still one of his best players. Plus, they were in cap hell and all the talk was about how could they possibly fit him under the cap. He was a cap casualty if there ever was one. Edited March 9, 2015 by Rob's House

All I have said from the get go is that the cap is not irrelevant to how we build this team this year and what's coming next year. Why is that so offensive to you? We as fans have no idea what the team is planning for now and in the future. Some fans, maybe not you, seem to think they either know more, or are more concerned about the cap implications of the contract signed then the team is. We addressed 3 areas of need in RB, QB and OG and still have $20M or so available in cap space and we haven't had to release anyone yet. I think we all understand that the cap is an 'issue' in the fact that it exists. It just seems to me, and I'm not alone here, that it's a exercise in wasted space to write about worries regarding the cap each time we sign someone, implying that the team may not be aware of what they are getting into.

I think it's more the other way around - People think the team should pay whatever it takes to retain or sign a player and when outbid they complain that they didn't "get it done" as though cap concerns are imaginary and as though this year's cap hit is the only one of any importance.
