A poster on the outside looking in on this conversation sent me a DM pretty much encapsulating the back n forth. Seems pretty spot on the me....
Steve: <posts a bunch of numbers because he found Spotrac> The bill is going to come due. Can only kick the down road so long. Everyone just wait for what is in store.
General board consensus: Yeah, good teams lose some of their better, higher paid players sometimes. Happens all the time in the NFL.
Steve: My friends, I don't think anyone has a clue how bad this is going to get. It's going to be really bad. <posts more figures from Spotrac>
General board consensus: No, we get it, the Browns will part with some players.
Pit: My dad always told me when I was young that someday the bill comes due.
Steve: And that's not even the worst of it! It could start as early next year and fans are going to freak out when this happens.
General board consensus: Not really, teams go through this all the time. Part of being a good team.
