Quote:We're not doing bad with the cap, so again... why cut ties with him, unless we find someone better?  

 

Ok, I understand this mentality with a lot of the players we have.  But just because we have cap space now, doesn't mean we will 3 years from now.  

 

What happens if Blake turns into the franchise guy we all hope him to be and we have to resign him to his second contract?  According to the market as of this year that means around $15-$18 mil per year.  What happens in that situation if the team is still paying guarantees from the end of contracts like Poz's and Henne's where they are grossly overpaid at the back end?  

 

That's why you cut ties with them before they become too expensive.  Henne is already paid too much money to be a backup QB.  Poz is paid waaaayyy too much to be an OK 2 down LB.  Need to cut ties with guys like that before the good cap situation we have now turns into a bad cap situation 3-4 years from now.
