Those are bargains on both accounts. Strief's deal being so backloaded doesn't even matter that much even if he plays out the contract, because by 2016 the salary cap will be at $160 million or more.

I thought Lorig was strictly a cost saving signing, but Collins deal with the Lions is $300,000 less
