If they don't use the cap space that they have gained and one of those two things happens then they are going to look a little stupid.

They don't need cap space to extend Scherff or Allen, but there are a couple of others such as Logan Thomas who would be worth it

Long term thinking.
Smart thinking.
Your perspective is very short term and tactical not strategic.
Stupid in today's NFL is not planning for cap long term.
Especially if they have to fork out $30M+ a year for a FA QB (a good one, not FitzAverage).
Save money where you can and use it more efficiently, even if just rolled over next year and used to extend guys or sign better FAs. Keep in mind, moves are about more than just this year or even next. We have some high-priced guys whose salaries are escalating in future years. If we don't want to be next year's dolphins, or the year after, moves like this smart.
Not at all sure I extend Thomas, versus drafting a TE first two rounds and starting him, or one of younger guys. He's a great story. Is he worth $10 a year? Or even $8M. While aging? Not sure.
Thomas could be next year's Moses.
