It's far easier to build through the draft/cheap options in the NFL than it is in the NBA as long as you have the right core pieces. I don't really see cap fluctuations changing that philosophy too much.
It's also a lot easier for an NFL team to work their way out of cap hell than it is for an NBA team. So even if you go crazy in free agency spending and the cap slows down, it's pretty simple to clear the books without totally dismantling the entire foundation of your team.
In other words...
