In the NFL, the term “cap wizard” is thrown around way too often, even being used to describe Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney in the past. As time has gone on, Marty’s parties have left the Panthers “Hurn Burned” (tm, C, R) on many occasions. For example, having two top-tier running backs in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart was great. Paying both like top-tier running backs was not. Some teams in the NFL consistently get great performances from players with relatively low cap hits. Teams like the New England Patriots, for example.
