And if you factor the inflation rate on the cap, that would be the same kinda money?!?

If he puts our O Line and team over the top, why do you not do it?!?
JP, I could agree about him being able to put the O over the top but not the entire team. We lack to many pieces on D that needs fixed, although we might not see the positions the same on the D side, our O can be fixed easily with a couple players. I'm not knocking him and really think he would be great but thats a great deal of money to give 1 player at 1 position when that money could help fix a few positions on the side that has constantly cost us year in and year out since Payton has been here. I would love to have him don't get me wrong but thats a steep price tag to pay for a O that ranks as high as ours already.

I agree.
our offense was first, defense worst.
if we are going to sign the highest paid guy at his position, it can't be on offense
