Teams get $400m per year before the lights go on to fund the cap. This won’t be some league will go cheap period

Seems though with big money have to be more selective in who gets it though

But even now with some of these mega contracts you have to do even more as they out pace cap growth

Structure matters and managing how much you kick the can down the road. Been that way for years. Having a QB on a rookie deal changes the way you spend
 
I think the biggest problem with managing the cap happens when GMs and coaching staffs become desperate. They do whatever it takes to win today, and totally disregard the future, knowing that if they don't win today, they'll be gone, before tomorrow gets here.

This is valid and accurate. The underlining factor is how top heavy your cap is due to positional pay. QB, LT , edge and CB, if you have elite or above average talent you tend to keep that core together

It's also a balancing act, because many teams just want to limit their amount of cash out the door each year under the excuse of "we're being prudent and planning for the future." Frankly I think many teams could be doing a lot more each year to make themselves better, the expectation that being bad first is a requirement to be good "some day" is flawed. The money teams get from the TV and media deals is there so that those teams can be competitive, they owe it to the integrity of the game to try every year.

What people fail to understand is that players want contracts based on their past performances. That's used by them to project what they call their "potential for the future."

As a GM, you're hearing that, but you're trying to look at the future, not the past. Too many things can happen, including the player spending the next contract on the IR list more than on the field.

Of course in the process of negotiations, the player is always cognizant of the fact that they want that guaranteed money because it means everything is fine, if they can no longer perform like they did in the past, for any reason.

That’s what the majority of fans don’t get is that cash out is just as important as cap space
