That was the popular trope of Ballard haters, but it has been proven false every time. Yes, we start the offseason with a lot of cap money, but we also started every one of them with a lot of free agents to replace. The cap space we have every year is always a mirage. Most teams with a lot of space have a lot of expiring contracts, or a dearth of talent.
