Ed Maguire is good at managing a cap situation based on how Dean Spanos allocates the funds for the Chargers payroll. The Chargers always spend "to the cap." But other teams seem to play games with the cap year over year. My real career - I am in finance so things like the NBA Cap or NFL Cap are interesting too me as its analytical and numbers - which is my "day job." So I follow Joel Corry and Jason from OTC.com on twitter, read Bobby Marks from the NBA for that type of insight of how to manage the cap

Each team has their own business model. I am just saying - if the Chargers truly wanted to be "creative" in the Rivers era - they had the means. Granted, the Saints will pay a consequence at some point. There is no getting around they will have a very large dead cap figure the year after Brees retires.

Cap management can go as far as the owner’s deep pockets. Guaranteed/up front $ are player drivers and the owners that can offer significant guaranteed $ often are able to structure contracts that obscure the yearly max CAP $ allocation.

13.5 guaranteed is pretty good considering his entire contract is 16 mil. He is now the 4th highest paid RB per season ave since Freeman got released.

Raiders have signed 8 free agents. But I wouldn't be gushing just yet. They did that last season and one some here wanted, had a bad season ( Joyner). Tyrell had the foot problem and missed games.

Not gushing but I like Littleton and Kwiatkowski at LB. Not bad with Apple, Nassib, Heath, Collins and MM, etc. All of these guys together could be considered "pretty good" as I said........

Just my 2 centavos......

I think the LB additions were very strong. Some of the others are good depth. But no doubt the LB additions were strong.

Fuck, that's right.... I totally forgot about Foster Moreau. He was coming on strong before he got hurt late in the year.

Which makes the Witten signing even more ridiculous.

building through free agency has usually been more activity than accomplishment

will have to see how it shakes out as they still have a draft so thats 7 more players possibly

churning the roster

They've improved on D, but none of the 3 moves they've made to date on O will really turn things around on that side of the ball.

Outside of person service contracts how can this be done? I'm very curious.

Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one but did Todd Gurley get cut by the Rams?
Is he still hurt? Does he still demand big bucks? Could he survive better sharing a backfield with 2 other backs( read: Ekeler and Jackson)?
Don't get me wrong- I'd still love to grab a work horse in the 3rd or 4th but a year of Gurley wouldn't be bad, would it?
