PR has been praising Bucs front office for minimal dead money due to the structure of their contracts over the past few years. I agree that it has been beneficial for a team who isn't "all in", but that needs to change immediately. We have a 1-2 year window. It's time to roll the dice and start using large signing bonuses, voidable years, and longer term contracts that will never be completed.
I'm assuming all these methodologies can still be used with the new CBA (but am not sure).
Greenberg and Licht need to totally change their historic methodology.
I'm so used to wanting the Bucs to front-load as they were building a team... now time to backload and deal with the consequences later. The increased ticket prices can pay for higher signing bonuses :-) Also, if we plan to groom a rookie with a low salary as the QB successor, then we time the cap impact to kill us the year Brady is expected to retire.
