Right 2004..
I quoted the fiqures wrong. The 27.5M a year package would be for 2006. Yes he only counted $7.1M against the cap in 2005.
Still the point is the same. Even if we signed him for $10M we save $17M from his current contract. My guess is that he will play for $8-9M which is reasonable for a player with his credentials. We can save another $6M by letting olson go and we would save some on henry's contract if they can come to terms. We don't gain much by letting hopkins go so the issue would be to reneg his $10M contract or retirement.
Off topic i know but i wonder what you guys think of this idea. Dump olson, sign hartwig but also sign bentley the FA center from the saints. We get an upgrade at center and hartwig plays olson's guard spot. Hartwig is probably a better guard than center anyway and his versatility is nice to have.
