Not too surprising, a lot of people have been testing the waters of this marriage from both camps since Cerrato and Campbell were down at the Senior Bowl. As far as numbers, well I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he was looking for a minimum of $35 million guaranteed and the rumor is he could get exactly that. As far as the $100 million, I haven't heard anything about that. More like 6 years/$80 million. This won't affect the Hall negotiations from what I've heard but may coincide with Springs and one other veteran (no clue who) being let go this weekend. I think the $100 million must be considering player and team bonuses that could be added on (such as: If Albert Haynesworth is Super Bowl MVP...)

Any idea what the cap number for 2009 would look like?

I would obviously love to have his ability along the D-line, but my concern is signing him will completely crap on our ability to improve the team in other areas this offseason.
