The high salaries of these players will hurt those teams even more.

Flacco has one good season surrounded by talent and a good D... I think we got off cheap with Brees now lol

If you think about it Bress' contract set the new market for Qb's therefore its just going to go up and up everytime a new "elite" Qb comes around. Which could in effect hurt other team's bottom line making it harder to get talent because of how much cap room they take up....

But with that said....if the cap is going to make a major jump like they say in 2015 because the TV money kicks in it might not hurt as much......

Probably won't hurt as much for us either...especially if Brees does restructure next offseason...pushing the high cap numbers into the years where the cap jump will give us much needed relief...or make it less of a hassle to get under when we need to.
