Not too surprising, a lot of people have been testing the waters of this marriage from both camps since Cerrato and Campbell were down at the Senior Bowl. As far as numbers, well I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he was looking for a minimum of $35 million guaranteed and the rumor is he could get exactly that. As far as the $100 million, I haven't heard anything about that. More like 6 years/$80 million. This won't affect the Hall negotiations from what I've heard but may coincide with Springs and one other veteran (no clue who) being let go this weekend. I think the $100 million must be considering player and team bonuses that could be added on (such as: If Albert Haynesworth is Super Bowl MVP...)
Anyway that's what I know as of right now, but it's only Tuesday

well, i believe any team or individual money going into a capless counts as being earned, and then if it doesn't happen, you get a credit back at that point, so i'm not sure how feasible that would be with the stupid low cap flexibility we have right now.
again, you can see my earlier post, but hall/haynesworth would pretty much use every last cent we have to make it happen, so i doubt anyone else outside our UFA/RFAs get signed or some low (low) level external FAs, and all for near vet min.
springs and taylor would have to go, and griffin would probably get tossed too to save another 4mill. the upside is that they're all old and weren't going to be here much longer anyways... the downside is your OL will suck, the WRs won't be great (even if you haven't lost hope on devin/fred/kelly, which you shouldn't, they didn't play enough or show enough for this to be their year... so maybe they show some life for 2010... maybe... davis might work out this year though). oh yeah, and you wasted a #2 pick for nothing (taylor).
