You know, every time I hear the difference between the sides... now at 2 million, it seems like it's getting lower gradually; I wonder which side is budging or if they are both budging.

How much cap space do we have? It's not like Benson doesn't have the money, just every team has to abide by the same cap amount...

last I remember we had to restructure contracts just to get Lofton & Hawthorne signed...

I might be mistaken but Benson can be a gazillionaire but still have to abide by the cap.

That was my point; Benson has all the money in the world, but the NFL only allows each team to spend 120 million this year on player salaries
