If it is at all possible I trade him and do what I have to do to absorb that cap hit this year, if there is a way for us to legitamatly stay within the cap I do it suffer his hit this year and pick up some draft pick's for this or next year, we may have to take a step back this season as far as personel, from what I saw last year you would have a hard time convincing me we will contend for a SB next season, this is where contract's like Lavar's and Brunell's come back to bite us in the a**, we may winde up just getting rid of a player who has significant value.

Choun's, I really like Antonio Brown but as a return specialist, I don't know about assuming he's a WR, there is a reason that a player with his kind of speed came to us via free agency, there is a big difference between having the speed of a WR and being a WR.

I'm not sure how we can afford to take a cap hit of nearly $10M, not matter how much creative cap work you do.

I know it would be tough and unrealistic. What would we save if we sent Samuel's packing if that was the difference maker I would do it, Samuel's isn't a major cogg on this team.

Why send samuels packing, then you would have 3 major wholes to fill,(2wr, Lt) common doggie!! I think to trade coles they would have to get some of the money back from him to lower his value and make it work.
