The team is "cash poor" and can't afford to fire McDaniels and then pay another coach, according to

They've been cash poor for years.
I'm betting it impacts how they have to structure contracts since the escrow rules require large cash payments for future guarantees. It may well be why trading for an older elite WR in Adams was more appealing to them - they weren't going to have to make escrow payments on 4-5 years with of commitments.
The cap is a LOT easier to deal with if you can write large checks here and there.
