A $5M SB doesn't present much of a risk.

Exactly, and a hit of $3.6M isn't really that bad.

I think 31 teams around the league would be wary of a $3.6 million cap hit.

This is the life we chose.

I think it entirely depends on which player's contract you are talking about. In my mind, a $3.6M cap hit due to a bad gamble on player with a lot of upside isn't that much. He didn't work out, but I think a lot of people thought that Arrington had the potential to be a major force. Arrington didn't work out and the Giants lost their bet, but $3.6M isn't a lot relative to his potential.

Exactly.

He was a gamble for them but he also didn't break their bank either.
