Just remember this is not congress, when you borrow the $3MM you will have to pay it back, meaning in a latter year you will have to lower your cap by $3MM. So borrowing from the cap for a team like the Ravens who are getting older might make sense, but for a team that appears to be on the rise that would not appear to be the smart move.
