Let's look at the numbers. We have 40 man rosters and a 20 man EDR for a total of 60 players. With 12 required starters (8 offense + 4 SP) as an example, that would allow teams to have 48 prospects if they chose to go in a full re-build direction. Teams could theoretically trade their best players and ask for the other team's starter coming back and prospects back in trades. Also, teams could sign bargain-basement free agents such as a David Murphy last year if they wanted to horde their cap space. Teams could make a minimum commitment to winning now in terms of both roster spots and cap space and still manage to preserve their hopes for a better future.
