"One of the biggest mis- perceptions that fans have about teams’ willingness to spend is that if they have a lot of cap room, they are not spending. That can be very far from the truth. A well-managed cap with plenty of room can coincide with having spent liberally to improve. I know that firsthand."

Great read from Brandt and it may help some fans understand how it all works.
Or not.

To paraphrase the article:

How about spending millions to upgrade the defensive coaching staff when it became apparent their predecessors weren't getting the job done?

It doesn't show up in the cap figures, but I'd say that investment was more important than any FA signing we could've had.

Great investment, but it doesn't drive hits and clicks on ESPN, so it doesn't count
