DLP will come cheap, Bushrod will walk cause Loomis will laugh at his contract demands and a replacement will be found either in FA or draft

What do you consider cheap? He graded out as an excellent center this past year.

1 mil, 2 mil tops, but center is normally one of the least glamorous positions on the team and most teams don't break the bank for one

So you have a twenty million dollar mansion - you're gonna put some chicken wire fence with tie straps and two $5 plastic potted plants from WalMart Garden Center in front of it?!?

If you blew all your wad on the mansion you will, we do it all the time......

You buy the most expensive outfit, and when you put it on sometimes you can feel the lint in your pocket instead of the money that should be there inside the pockets..... Lol

Loomis himself said in an interview recently that it wasn't as bad as everyone thought. He said the number was closer to 14 mil. As much as I hate and distrust ESPN, their numbers line up it would seem.

On another note, looks like I've finally hit 100 posts

But like I said, OC and LT will add at least 6 million to our cap.

2 million for DLP leaves 4 million for a LT.

A 4 million LT is probably just a decent journeyman.

A good LT is gonna be in the 6 to 7 million range all by himself.
