Quote:I do not advocate us offering Bruce Irvin more than 16 million a year.

 

For real though, it's sooooo easy to create cap space or structure the deal that will be low cap hits early on. Point being, if they really want to be together they will be together, and there isn't much we can do about it. 

 

Ha, neither do I.

 

Even if they do structure it will a large signing bonus and minimal base, Irvin's still likely to have a cap hit somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-6 million or so, assuming he's netting around $10 million per season. Obviously if he wants go to Arizona he can spurn us to go there, same could be said about every free agent ever. Literally the entire point of free agency is that the player can choose wherever he wants to go.
