Loomis was smart to structure the contract the way he did. Although I'm sure he was trying to protect the team from Junior being a one-year wonder after 2013, not in case of something like this happening.

I really want to see what happened here but my estimation of Galette has dropped quite a bit. And I wasn't even as high on him as a lot of people were last year.

We have no teeth to bite with, we are already over the cap and have to do some serious work just to get under... And to add 15-16 to that, we'd be up **** creek...
