That's exactly how you run out of money. Those holes MUST be filled with those diamonds that Dorsey finds.
We're against the cap because we have so many talented players. The goal is to draft star players and retain them. If you're going to draft an Eric Berry or a Marcus Peters then you better be prepared to pay them with the contract is due. Retaining a load of talent costs money and will put you against the cap. So you better hope you can fill the rest with cheap, ascending "diamonds".
Your recipe is the recipe for an average to below average roster.
What you're describing is basically what the Chargers attempted to do.
They have a few high priced guys and then went and bought a bunch of average players and did a piss ass job of drafting/signing cheap depth.
