Tampas window is closed, they had their run and you mortgage the future to fill in peices. Florida is likely in the same boat now with their pending free agents etc.

Yeah most pro sports are like that... You get a window, you try to make the right adjustments during that time, and then hope you can win it at least once during that time.
Some windows are longer than others, depending on players, coaches, management, etc. It's why the good teams are always good over the years, because they have good management that can open these windows on a regular basis. Oilers and Panthers had the same window, and unfortunately for the Oilers it didn't go their way twice, which is highly improbable. Good for Florida and their 400 fans!
The only issue I have are the idiot fans who think that if a team doesn't win within that window, they are basically on the same level as the shitter teams
