That being said, I don't like the idea of TW playing out a contract year in 2015. So I'd like to sign him long-term as well, just not sure how much cap space we need to save this year.

they can restructure/sign him long term right now, and leave his 2014 numbers alone, right? hell, maybe even move more of his contract into 2014 - if there's a surplus of cap space.

but we had better be careful, if we best utilize the salary cap, we may be accused of violating the spirit of the salary cap.
