any signing has to be done with a 3 year window .....but the key to sustained winning is constantly rolling forward with cap space, solid drafts, and good coaching. There is always acclimation each year - you never have a pause button- look at TB....they tried it this year by bringing everyone back but it doesn't work. You always have change and adjustments.....FAs leave too....injuries.........game is a constant state of flux year to year and you need proper management at the top to adapt quickly.
and JD's track record thus far shows the ability to get out after year 1 if there is a bust. meaning the machine moves forward to the new cap year with money to play with.
Great minds think alike; i was going to say the exact same thing about Tampa.
