[QUOTE="Candidate for Deletion, post: 732218, member: 12503"] touche, lol A few things there - your opening logic is bulletproof, yet still in this league cap casualties happen all of the time. This is why the possibility has to be recognized as at least, well, possible (and thus, worth discussing). If the team feels so poorly about all of the guys behind Cobb (meaning all WRs except Nelson and Adams) that they feel trapped into the contract, that in and of itself is almost a worse thing than the contract numbers themselves.
