Lots of teams have cap space now and what does it mean to them..Nothing..
Exactly
Point is..We are a big market team and what free agent is thinking of Utah, Minny, Sac, Toronto, Orlando, NO, MIl, Denver, etc as a destination??..Or When was the last time these teams landed an Unrestricted Free Agent??
LOL we are a big market team my arse. What free agent has come here who has not been damaged goods in the last 15 years. Every team is a big market
Plus, guys in the $4-8M salary range will have real financial benefits signing in markets with lower costs. A guy in Minny can buy a little palace for half a million. In NYC, it gets them a breadbox. Add in teams in tax-free states vs. NYC's high taxes and that makes it even tougher.
Then the guys who make $10-20M may still not want to spend their money living in NYC or paying the tax bite.
Oh yeah Splat--a nice dig in Manhattan is only 7-12 mm$. and then you have to pay 10k a month in fees to live there and 8k a month in taxes. And for all of that you still need to find a F parking spot.
Wow so ridiculous.
It's true you can buy a palace in Atlanta, Houston, phoenix or Oregon for $300k and actually give your family a decent life and allow your kids to go to school like the rest of the kids
