@JoeGoodberry If we inflate our cap number this year, we can free up money in 27. We will inflate the cap hit this year so we can free up money in 28. We will inflate the the cap hit this year so we can free up money in 29. We will inflate the cap hit this year (rambling continues ad infenium)
@swinny462@JoeGoodberry I mean we saw it play out last year. They could’ve signed him to a 4 year deal multiple years in a row, but he wanted guarantees past year one. That’s not exactly uncommon in the FA market and severely limits thearlet to a small amount of players willing to take a “bengal” deal
@swinny462@JoeGoodberry Hard to do when they never really guarantee any money. I think most players would be happy to come here otherwise, but the FO never pulls the levers available to them
@JoeGoodberry Makes one feel a little better about keeping ZT around. Of course they could still use a real GM, better scouting, more modern approaches etc etc. But maybe they can run it back with ZT (with a lot of help)
