I agree we need to give credit to someone with the cap, but I'm still not sure it's Russ Ball or not, as I have wondered if he has lost some control (or maybe just given in to others some).

Russ Ball was strongly said to be 1,000% giving any guaranteed base salaries ever, including to UDFAs, and we finally did that for the first time this year $100,000 guarantee to an UDFA.
