Salary cap 2017

With the roll over we should end up about 80 million under the cap for next season. Ideally a team jumps into free agency when they have a core of good players and they need a few pieces that can let them make a run. The only problem is we only have 2 probowl type players and we do not have any of our young players coming near free agency that we need to extend to large deals and no young players near probowl quality. I'm pretty sure we just can't keep rolling the money over year after year because there's supposed to be a minimum cap floor that eventually kicks in. What should be our plan?

The minimum cap is an average of the past 3 years. It's not a 1-year look.

It's actually the past 4 seasons, it runs from 2013-2016, and then starts from 2017-2020 where we must spend 89% of the cap in Cash for those 4 years. There is no minimum spending limit per year.
Jed might less us spend like a 1mil of that money on FA.

yes it has, to the 49ers for Steve Young and Brent Jones's contracts back in the 90s for circumventing the salary cap, they got fined, and stripped a few draft picks.
