We don't need his cap space. We can create $10.4 million in space by restructuring others. We should carry him at the high number this year rather than kicking more of his cap money into the future. Because if we carry him without restructuring this year, it makes it much easier to let him go next season when we can cut him and save $6.0 million from our 2009 cap number.
The Skins also might consider extending him a few years, but they should only do that if they really feel like he'll be a strong starter for at least two more seasons.
Like I said, I'd carry him this year, and then probably cut him next year when Smoot and Rogers can be the starters.

I agree. We should just eat the salary this year cause we need him.. But damn that's a lot of coin. But I just don't think it's smart to restructure him at his age and with his history of injuries. I'd probably think 08 will be his last year with us.
