What if the only way to add a quality WR/OL/DE is to trade 'our best llinebacker'? We're still talking about Arrington right?
Maybe I'm one of the few who cared to look at at the 'Contracts' page, but I noticed we have some significant dead money being spent on the likes of Bruce Smith, Dan Wilkinson, et al, as high as 6 million dollars per! What I do know about contract rules is that signing bonuses are the only guaranteed money in the NFL. And signing bonuses can only be spread out over a period of four years (not sure what happens with extensions). When a player is traded his contract goes with him! When you cut a player, or he retires, the signing bonus goes against your cap accordingly.
Arrington has been nothing short of a franchise player on and off the field. I can't think of another guy other than Darrell Green who represents this team with such loyalty. And there's no need to worry about our cap situation whatever happens.
