No offense but to say the cap is a myth is lunacy, ask the Rams. Don't get me wrong, I'd take that Super Bowl as well but now they are reaping what they sowed. 

Again the myth is that the cap really limits you when it is actually judging talent poorly and guaranteeing too much money so you end up with a ton of dead cap money dumping or trading players, injuries or guys that retire prematurely.  Why do some teams stay in cap hell while others dont??

Not saying there isn't a limit just saying that the cap isn't the big issue you and others make it out to be. Again we all agree there is a salary cap, you don't need to say it over and over when everyone agrees there is a number that goes up most every year. The myth is that is can't be easily manipulated to the point that it doesn't stop you from getting the players you want or kills your roster if you pay someone a premium like Burns which is what the whole conversation is about. Or that you can't spend more cash in a year than the cap allows  So once again there is a cap but it is is not the impediment you and others suggest.  And given it can be manipulated so easily, it really isn't a problem for creative cap managers

I would hardly use Gettleman as an example of what to do. He was largely a disaster with his fruit basket turnover every year.

But it does stop teams from getting who they want.  Hence the the reason all rosters are primarily made up of cheap guys.  
Will the  prevent us from signing Burns if we want? No, but it will prevent us from signing a lot of players to contracts like that.

here again, it’s not as prohibitive as some make it out to be but to make statements that it doesn’t matter as all is just wrong.

Fire Fitterer and put Dan Morgan in charge for this year.

Anyone else feel like if this deal isn’t done tomorrow, we are going to get murdered Sunday?  Feels like this is a massive distraction, and there’s zero energy among the players in the public portion of practice and during post practice interviews.

You mean when they are stretching and doing walkthroughs? What type of energy do you want to see?

Fit seems too much of a push over. Dan Morgan comes with a no BS demeanor

They were going to lose the game regardless of Burns playing or not. So who cares. Sit back and relax and get ready for another losing season.

Unpopular but possibly not wrong thought:

Gross Matos might be a better option for defending Atlanta's run game. 

Atlanta isn't the team to freak out about optimal pass rush.

Gross Matos is better against the run than Burns.   No possibly wrong about that.

We're headed toward having 3 guys taking up all the cap space and filling the rest of the roster with JAGs. Probably need to always stock pile picks and keep your roster churning
