If you have faith that you are bringing in good players the cap space will be utilized keeping them and hopefully helping to round out the roster later. We are probably (cause you never know) not going to be a super bowl contender for several years. I'm going to enjoy watching us grow into one.

Ballard would be a major failure if it took several years to build a contender.
You build your foundation on good players. Free agents can very well form that foundation. It is nonsense to think you can only use one resource to build a winning team.
