Lotus landed this one right on the money, and he said it right before your post, ill throw it out there again:
"Even if that is true, Hill wants more than $6 mil. a year. That would leave less than $2.9 mil. in the most optimistic scenario. And we still need to sign Orakpo, who as a first rounder will not be cheap. And everyone and their brother wants us to sign an OT. Can we really sign Orakpo, the rest of the rookies, and a FA OT for less than $2.9 mil.? That seems unlikely, especially given that the $2.9 mil. number was already optimistic.
It seems to me that to have a hope we'd have to do serious cutting, not just cosmetic cutting, elsewhere. We'd have to give up big names, not just someone like Thrash." - Lotus
