ability agreed baltimore cap certainly covered deal elvis happen needed number order playing relative risk totally unless worried
Elvis had to take some risk in order to become a Raven. They needed his first-year cap number to be low, and the deal wasn't going to happen unless we agreed to that structure.

calling cap cloak decision hook letting personnel players versus younger
This was a personnel decision on the part of the 49ers. It was a decision to go with younger players versus the veteran. It's a philosophy. They have the right to have that philosophy, but I'm not going to let them off the hook by calling it a cap decision and letting them cloak it in that language. They have younger receivers that they want to play.
