The league approved every contract during the uncapped year. Every contract. More than unfair - it was collusion.
The cap most certainly plays a role. Eighteen mil each year amounts to about ten or twelve quality players. That has an impact. We get V. Jackson and not J. Morgan. We get three quality Olinemen and not a rag-tag bunch of throw-togethers. Same for the Dline and toss in a good safety and not a headhunter. Get a solid CB.
The team had a plan in FA for the 2012 offseason and that is after the trade to get our franchise QB. The league decided on the eve of FA to pull the plug on us. Collusion and a backroom deal derailed a lot of what we wanted to do in FA over the last two seasons. Again, the cap crap played a significant role.
