I was under the impression that Morstead's new contract was an extension to the current contract, so this year's cap hit will remain the same ($1.95M), but the next 6 years will be at a higher cap hit (an average of $3.65M).

That is why he tweeted that he'd be around for 7 more years.

I was referring to next years cap hits. But regardless, either a 19million hit for 2012, or a long term re-structure will make it too difficult to re-sign the guys I listed.

I'd pass.

Rather have Cliff Avril, younger, stronger, faster; but can we afford him?

i don't think we have the money.

Would like to have him, but don't see how we can afford it. Even if he does restructure we still have guys to take care of who are already here.
