I don't see how we have a choice about paying Curl top 10 money, but top 5? I'd take a breath before committing that kind of money. He's great but he's not top 5. Yet. I'd love to see us set for 3-5 years at safety (for me he and Forrest should fill that need).

Of course the other side of the coin is we'd need to replace him if we let him walk. A similar calibre FA is going to probably cost an equivalent salary to keeping him, and if he's gone we have to look at a draft pick to fill the gap (and of course there's no guarantees with a draftee).

We've also got to see what happens with Payne. Neither is cut and dried right now. I'd love to see them both re-signed early to reasonable contracts. If it drags out...
