So to sign Bakh to this lucrative a contract seems, well, unwise.  The risk, of course, is losing him in FA, but all teams are in the same situation re" the cap.I'm no cap expert, but they back loaded his contact.  Yeah, he gets $30 mil guaranteed.  If age catches up with him (this is his third contract), could they let min walk in two years while minimizing dead cap?  I think the answer is no, for the most part.  But it does seem like a clever way to structure the contract.Now, what about Jones, Linsley, and to a lesser extent, King.  I don';t much care if King walks.  Linsley is, if anything, getting better.  And Jones, barring injury, is too valuable to let walk.Will they have money for FAs if they can't sign these guys?  I doubt it.  That means Gluten needs a kick *** Defensive draft, at least one impact player or a trade (and a few prayers considering they'll draft late.  Chicago is rich on D, poor on O.  GB is the reverse.  How about trading Love to the Bears?  I dunno, I'm trying (and not succeeding) to four on this season.  BIG test in Indy to identify GB as a contender, or pretender.</blockquote>
