Is this what everyone praises Loomis and his magic for - cutting player?

I don't follow the cap and all that off-season number crunching each year. I pay attention to the moves around the league, but I don't try to understand the cap.

I know many on here have praised Loomis and his "magic" over the last few years for always getting us under the cap when it comes down to crunch time. But is this what people are talking about?

"Well, we would like to keep this guy, but his contract is too big. Let's just cut him."

Look around the league. Everyone is cutting good players. League is designed for parity.

So you want to criticize something you admit to not understanding nor having the interest to learn about?

Then you really have no idea how the NFL works.

Then I doubt you really understand why the moves happen.

His magic is clear. He appears to spend a shite ton of money, then he finds a way to work it under the cap and keep players happy.

You have a cap number, you have to stay under it. Period. It's not rocket science. It' not baseball where you can just throw money at people blindly. You have a limit you have to stay under.
