All the signs point to Coles being gone. First, we're not aggressively pursuing re-signing Smoot. Second, we let Pierce walk. Third, we picked up Patten, who, like Coles, is a deep threat. Fourth, we've stopped signing free agents for now. Fifth, Coles dropped his demand for a new deal.

My only question is....if we have about $7 million in cap room, we take a $9 million hit for trading Coles, and we give Moss a new deal, who are we going to cut to get in under the cap? We need about $1 million in emergency cap space. So, we'll need to come up with about $5 million in cap room.
