Yeah some teams have a huge amount of money but keep in mind teams like Seattle will have to keep his own free agents this year or the next two years so they cannot allow themself to overpay this year in free agency

The nature of the business is that Super Bowl winners have to overpay to keep their own and probably get a bit of a break when signing from outside. Unfortunately, perceived player value increases when thier team wins the Super Bowl I think that's how mant clubs make mistakes, but it's good for the players and as a tangent helps even out competitive advantage by over-stripping Super Bowl winning teams. Case in point - the 2025 Eagles off-season.

The goal of the offseason isn't to create more cap space, it's to keep as many good players as possible and upgrade where you can.
