    Maybe being inactive last off season was partially in order to be in this position?

    It still is not a whole lot of room once you consider that both of our starting OTs are free agents.

    Let me get this straight. We have some cap room and both our OTs are free agents. One of our guards has a low contract and would not hurt us to be a backup. We are in a position to dramatically revamp our OL. If you want to see our offense be solid that is what we need. If we could run the ball well then it would change things overnight.

    Realistically with the $18-20 Million, what does that buy us? Resigning Gross, a Bryant Johnson type and a Marlon McCree type safety? Or are we looking at a premiere player type?

    Most big contracts are backloaded and the first year is a low cap hit. Theoreticially we could add a lot of guys but it might kill us in a future year.

    I understand Cap 101. Just curious what the TBR pundits are thinking.

    gives us flexibility. We can go do something stupid, or smart, we can go after a couple big names or a bunch of small ones, and we can cut whoever or keep whoever.


    We did this type incentive-push contract with Steven Jackson and Brett Basanez late 2006, but on a smaller scale. By putting a big incentive out there that can't be reached, the player gets some job security and the team uses up the rest of salary cap space it wouldn't need in the last two weeks of December.


    PS, our cap isn't catastrophic.
