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.

Yep, that's what I was trying to articulate by stressing 2018-2019. Do we really want to see them roll over $20MM in cap space until Ballard is ready to start re-signing his draft picks? That's a long time down the round and a missed opportunity for near-term results.

What is the adjustment of $2,202,764 for? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
