Hard Decisions: The solution to the $18MM offseason puzzle

[warriorzpath]

Contrary to what some feel- I think that Lichtensteiger should and will be re-signed because he is very good in Shanahans system, he's Shanahans guy, and he would be reasonably cheap to re-sign because no other team would value him as much (except maybe Houston or another zbs). And also Carriker will not be cut because he is and will be valuable to team and dline in the same way that Lichtensteiger is valuable to the oline. He's also a player that Haslett/shanahan traded for. Their contribution to the team is really not appreciated by fans but valued by coaches and teammates because they are doing their grunt work on the line.
