Howie Roseman believes the primary goal of managing the salary cap is to maximize the number of talented players on the team rather than optimizing for financial metrics.

“from my perspective it's always about the players you know we we could do as many creative deals as we want. We could have as much cap room as we want but we're not going to be any good if we don't have any good players you know and so we got to get as many good players as we possibly can.”
