Samuels Agrees to Restructured Deal

[GMScud]

Blah. Lengthening the contract of yet another player over 30 years old. Same old same old. Where we are with Jansen right now (massive decline in talent, too expensive to cut) is where we'll be with Samuels in a few seasons. I know, I know, there may not be a salary cap...

I understand what you're saying but you got to pay to play and signing FA's isn't gonna be cheap.

if its anything like the contracts of ARE and Carter, Samuels will be very cuttable in 2010 and/or 2011. Not that i want us to cut Samuels, but we could always cut him and resign him to something reasonable then.

Of course, its always possible that we restructure Samuels again next year and give him all his garaunteed money in an uncapped 2010. That way, we have flexibility with what we do after that.
