Sort of.
Over a rolling 5 year period, teams have to spend at least 90% of their cap.
That means that you can roll small amounts (10% or $16m and under) forever and larger amount ever now and then as long as you stay above 90% average.
Which is why you saw CLE and JAX go crazy in free agency because they were way under and needed to spend near 100% of their cap to bring their rolling average up.
So, it is not "use or lose" except in opportunity cost.
