I do understand the cap ramifications but losing out on a back to back SB for a 5-6 million dollars isn't good business either. And I and most of us here could make the argument that adding one big upgrade at LB might be all the difference. That same argument could be said for another IOL as well.
But with only 33 guys under contract there is only so much you can do. Cut Henne (1.5), Damien Williams (2), Rework HB because he due to cost 19 against the cap, and my guess is try and trade Eric Fisher because he's an 11 million dollar cut candidate. Still only gets us down enough to draft a rookie class and maybe one 3-4 million dollar FA. Glad guys like Sneed, Allegretti, and Wharton are stepping up this year.
I think we have enough to win it but I sure to wish we would have addressed LB in FA better. Makes me throw up in my mouth thinking about Spags trying to talk up Niemann in camp this year.
