Isn't Nashville one of the teams operating on an internal budget below the cap?
Between the fixed cap and the shortage of cash, precious few teams can afford offer sheets right now. The first GM to try one will be royally screwed the minute he gets into cap or budget trouble himself, because 30 other GMs are going to say it serves him right.
Besides, I can't see an owner committing to spend an extra $39 million (since the other 5 years x $700,000 has to be spent anyway to fill the roster spot) until he knows where next year's revenue is coming from.
