They did the same thing with Carriker too, turned salary to bonuses.

Well, they don't count THIS year. If attained, they count against next year's cap. It's clear MS/BA don't want to push too much money forward. I think they would rather absorb as much of the hit in today's cap while still having enough to address certain needs (TE, DB & RT).

Cross your fingers on our 2nd and 3rd round picks this year - I have a feeling they will be starting sooner rather than later.

Watch, they'll take another QB in the 2nd round. lol

Props to FO for pulling this off, I was really nervous about Moss getting cut but now I'm relieved. Now we have to focus on Lorenzo and Davis.

Ditto. I didn't want to lose Moss...he was key in the RZ and on 3rd-4th down all year.

I was re-watching the TB comeback win last night...the last drive...Moss and Davis were huge.


Now, onto keeping Fred and Zo. If I had to pick one of them, I'll keep Alexander, but we can't afford to lose both.

they basically just moved some money to next year.

[Evilgrin]

I am also glad they aren't willing to push alot of money down the road, its a bad move. Especially for a team that still needs alot of pieces.

The zone read option is here to stay. As long as a team has a strong running game- an offense can incorporate the zone read option because one makes the other stronger (running game and zro).

If we dont lock up a top corner FA ASAP we will be starting a rookie this Sept.
Talib seems to be the best one out there now....get 'er done!

Isn't that what people said with Garcon last year.

Well remember when the rumor was Vincent Jackson was our guy last year, then Garcon was signed? Who is the Cornerback we are not talking about?

Our Cap situation wasnt as close as it is this year.

Load up the first year with really easy to attain bonuses.

It can be done, just have to be creative, and need a willing player to go along with it.
