Not so much optimism if you understand how the salary cap actually works. You see, we get out from $50m under the 2025 cap largely adding more than $50m to future caps. Every dollar that is restructured from the current cap applies to future caps, and sometimes players with expiring contracts insist on new salaries and raises added to future caps to extend their deals. Also Loomis can't resist aging fading players in free agency. We are ALWAYS under the cap 2 years out, but the rolling restructures ALWAYS put us over the cap as that year approaches.
