They have 12 players at less than 800k. Is there risk having 12 no name players around league minimum and still being over the cap? What if lilegren is good enough but cant play because hes over league minimum? There is risk over paying guys same as there is signing shorter term deals

This exactly. Don’t do a Chicago and be stuck with expensive contracts for years after your championship window has passed. Sign him short term for less overall money and take the gamble you win during the next 3 years.
