There are wayyyyy more people on here than me that understand the ins-&-outs of cap dollars, but how in the living hell are we going to be in cap hell b/c he is spending money like this?
Yes, we had over $100m in cap space, but that doesn't mean we just go around and throw massive contracts at all the top-tier FA's. If he was going around throwing multi-year deals at ARob for $16m/yr, Sammy Watkins getting $30m/GUARANTEED AT SIGNING, among other higher paid FA's, then we should worry. But bringing in some vets on slightly higher than their market worth is not a bad thing for such a young team.
And shit, some of these contracts don't even go past next year.
