I think Veach got scalped by about $8 million from what I can gather.
I think the cap came in lower than even their 'conservative' estimates. And now they're scrambling.
So I bet they're hoping that next year is a bit of a catch up year and it goes up by more than it went last year.
But to be completely frank - every year is going to ugly for the next several. That's the point. As I've said since the Chris Jones conversations started in earnest - the league does not WANT a single team carrying 6-8 guys at/near the top of their respective markets. They want that talent spread out.
And they especially don't want it if one of those is a QB.
You just cannot have top of the market salaries for a QB, WR, LT, LG, TE and DT for any appreciable period of time. Especially when you WERE carrying top of the market salaries at S and DE prior to that which prevented you from banking rollover towards your adjusted cap.
You can shove 10 lbs of shit into a 5 lb sack for a little bit, but eventually it WILL burst.
There's a real argument to be made that it's time to stop shoving.
