That is exactly what the cap doesn't matter.  We pay folks, smarter than any of us on this topic, hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure the cap is a non issue. 

 

I know "everyone" hates Tepper, but his deep pockets allow us even more flexibility with being able to pay more cash over cap for bonuses. Essentially it boils down to you have to have the bonus cash on hand, think like a mortgage escrow.  This is a problem for some teams, not us. 

Cash over cap is a mechanism for making a run at it. Paying a lot bonus but the bonus never avoids the cap. It's always going to have a cap affect. We are in no place to be playing that game

I still wonder why this never seems to make sense. There’s no magic. We have no Mahomes or any other expensive star and yet we were close to the cap signing Sanders, Bell, Hurst, Bozeman and Thielen. The point of playing with the cap is to roll over extra and not waste it when you aren’t competitive. Then we could splurge on actual “top” FAs in 2-3 years when we have an actual shot.
