Wouldn't it be smarter to have two great CB's, DE's, WR's, etc... vs. the safety position? I still can't believe we drafted this guy instead of a D-Lineman. I think it'll set our franchise back years. When we DID draft him, I was positive that Gibbs had a veteran DE in the works - but so far nothing.
WTF are we thinking? Am I the only one nervous about this move?
Ok - that said, I want to be optimistic about this season - so I won't bring it up again...

Well, going off of what was posted here, 22 million of the contract is incentive laced...last I checked incentive money doesn't count towards the cap. So the salary is cheap for a player of his alleged caliber.
