Thats because you’re misusing the term “cap hell”. It doesn’t mean you can’t afford or make room for any player. Every team spends about the same amount of money up to the cap. That’s the point of the cap, obviously. It is entirely a function of how you spend that money and construct your roster that results in cap hell—not how much you spend—but how you spend. It’s not just connected, but the only thing that matters. So those rosters being top heavy but thin, and us being able to afford any high priced FA we wanted, were connected in a way that you can’t unwind and separate when you’re talking about the concept of “cap hell”. Every team can spend the money and make room for huge contracts if they want—it’s how you spend it and how that effects your roster construction (which hit us doubly hard because we couldn’t draft well and traded away picks in those days, too). So you’re saying “we never experienced cap hell in those days, we could always make room and afford any big name we wanted” which is a fundamental misunderstanding of what cap hell even is. The rest of our roster being shallow and ****ty because we did that and had too much dead cap taking up space over the years after busting on high price FA’s, hamstringing the team, is the result of cap hell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just drinking and imagining us reconstructing the 2000 Ravens. ****, Wentz is a better QB than Dilfer. This can't possibly fail. Side note: Trying to remember how many offseasons I've said some variation of "this can't possibly fail" in my lifetime of fandom. There are a lot of those...

Maybe depth McCain has experience playing CB, so maybe he'd become the nickel CB. I can't imagine they would give him 5.5 per year to be a backup Safety 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe depth Matthieu would be a solid addition because he would be a stud linebacker in passing downs for us in coverage and you can put McCain over the top. Running McCain Matthieu and Curl at the same time. Matthieu is better and more versatile than Collins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapsSkins Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Can someone smarter than me shed light on Mathieu’s position and how he’s best deployed? Am trying to figure out where / how he’d contribute on our team. But as I said several pages ago, I love the leadership and culture fit. Don’t underrate the value of having a key contributor on a Super Bowl champion team on our roster. Skintangibles are off the charts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
