Quote:I agree you need depth. Thats isn't my issue. I think you might be underestimating what some of those players on your list are going to cost (such as Pettigrew - he will get Dennis Pitta type money). Some of them won't be the Sen' Derrick Marks type contracts, and for average players, I do not want to overpay. 

 

I think they can be signed like this:

 

Sam Shields - 4yrs / 28 mill - 10 mill guaranteed

 

Brandon Pettigrew - 2yrs / 7 mill (He is not getting "Pitta Money", not with his production the last 2 years and Fauria being their primary Red Zone target outside of Megatron)

 

Brian De La Puente - 6yrs / 46mill, 13  mill guaranteed 

 

Arthur Jones - 5yrs / 40 mill, 15 mill guaranteed

 

Willie Young - 3 yrs / 9 mill

 

B.J. Raji - 4 yrs / 22 mill, 7 mill guaranteed

 

Still well under the cap even after these signings.....
