Re: no cap- why care what's spent?

If you look at the top five winning teams in the NFL from 2000-2008
1) New England
2) Philadelphia
3) Pittsburgh
4) Green Bay
5) Colts
Besides being very good at drafting players, they are not the consistent/usual big spenders in the FA market. I am not saying they do not spend in FA. New England has spent big here and there. But overall they are not the big spenders like the Redskins.
What really impresses me about these 5 teams is every two to three years they make the very difficult decision to not re-sign some of their own very expensive FA. Some of them pro bowl level players. They just let them go and replace them with recently drafted rookies.
This keeps them young and keeps their payroll in better shape. They keep winning.
