Keep in mind.. Joe Flaccahoe's cap hit for the year they tanked 2013 was a paltry 6.8m down from 2012 by 1.2m. His contract made cap space in 2013.

They didnt have to get rid of players.

Well, surprise, I disagree with part of that - I think Lewis gets more credit than he deserves - they lost several free agents, especially in their secondary, that hurt them so that they could keep Falco - sound familiar?!?

Again, don't fault Falco for demanding, and getting, paid - but they had several holes to fill and a contract that engulfs that much of the cap space obviously limits what you can do...
