It's easy to discount now but in mid March the Pats salary cap crunch was right up there with Brady leaving as a topic of Pats discussion. IIRC Miguel was reporting the Pats as barely having the vet minimum available, the lack of maneuvering room was a given in every roster discussion. Viewed through that lens (and keeping in mind the OP ended with "Also, is it possible with cap?") outside of the knuckle draggers, I think the cap implications could easily be construed as a given in most posts made on any roster driven subject. In other words, comments from that time frame need to be considered contextually.
On the other hand, if your point is that we sometimes see some less than enlightened. perhaps even agenda driven, comments here then you are completely correct. I would be less than honest if I didn't admit there may be posts here from folks whose opinions are driven by non team/football considerations that I just did not bother reading simply because of who made them.
