WE WOULDN'T SIGN THEM ANYWAYS!!! even if we had the cash, gibbs made it very clear that the skins wouldn't have increased their offers to either pierce or smoot in any way.

He's looking at the 17$mill we need to clear next year to meet the cap and thought it'd be better to take this now. The NFLPA was already questioning whether a bonus takeback by coles would be legit, so you can't even assume ditching him would have cleared the cap space... sitting him means we're paying 3.3$mill for a WR that probably wouldn't even play and then paying him again next year to stay home while leaving a gap at our #1 WR position... i don't really like that idea.
