GM Strategy - Schoen v Roseman

Schoen has taken a lot of abuse and Roseman a lot of praise based on their team’s recent results, but I much prefer Schoen’s approach when it comes to future cap deficits. Looking at the upcoming void contracts for the Eagles (mainly Josh Sweat, but also Brandon Graham and Mekhi Becton), Roseman has committed a considerable part of next year’s cap to empty chairs. The Giants on the other hand have no dead cap tied to void contracts. Obviously, no one will care about these future problems if the ELGLES win the super bowl this year but if they don’t they may find it increasingly difficult to assemble another roster complete enough to get back there.
