Yeah but how will this effect our cap in the long run?

But people said we only had x amount of space and can't afford anyone. This can't be right.

Manipulating numbers is unpossible.

Our cap situation is far better than anticipated thanks to Vons money and keenums cap friendly contact. Obviously the situation isn't as dire as of us (me) originally estimated.

I prefer not kicking the can down the road, but I understand why it was done

This is why I rarely worry about cap space when we go into an offseason.

They are able to do so many things with contracts that none of us really realize.

Does that mean they WILL go buy the guys we want them to buy? maybe not. Sure does mean they CAN though often times when people are insisting that we can't.

Has Suh been signed yet? I know he's a dirty player, but he's add some much needed nasty to our line.

He is a straight up 4-3 interior pass rusher. Doesn't really fit our scheme. Sheldon Richardson on the other hand...

I think he signed already.

Edit nevermind, Vikings are going after him hard though.

Agreed. I learned this lesson a few years ago and have not thought of it since.

Can't chase after something that has no desire to be with you, that's called stalking and its illegal. Quit beating that drum Kinger, he wanted to be a Viking from square one, nothing we could have done would have changed that...

Cousins wasn't coming to Denver.

Money isn't the only factor that prevented Kirk Cousins from joining the Denver Broncos.
Les Shapiro of Mile High Sports Radio reported Tuesday that Broncos general manager John Elway was told signing the veteran quarterback would be a "long shot." The reason supposedly being, "among other things," Cousins was "very concerned" with the team's coaching staff led by second-year lame-duck head man Vance Joseph.
