Didnt spend shit. Doesnt accept that he failed at his job so he just made up lame excuses.
You shouldn't use spending as your metric when teams can move cap space from year to year. You should use either the unspent cap dollars or % of unspent cap to truly express the metric.
For instance, a team can have extra cap space rolled over from the year before, which would give them extra cap, or they could have a cap penalty from dead money from prorated signing bonuses accelerating into the current year. Or they could be spending little money now while mortgaging their future, which would make their spending look lower than it is.
Really any single-season snapshot of spending doesn't tell the whole story. You'd want to have a graph that charts spending, cap space, dead cap, and rolled-over cap.
https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/Like, take for instance how the Broncos are spending 30m more than the Ravens, yet they still have the same cap space. Or the Browns spend 37m more and still have more cap space. Spending is not the best metric here.
