[QUOTE="sschind, post: 762049, member: 10247"] Signing bonuses can be a solution or at least help if the team is seriously interested in keeping the player around for a few more years. If they make a lowball offer obviously they only want the guy if he is cheap so in that case its probably not a good idea but if the Packers want to keep Nelson around for 2 more years after this season converting a few extra million into a signing bonus in exchange for a lower cap hit this year can work out. Yes there is risk that the player won't pan out and you will be stuck with more dead money in 2 years but if done correctly it wouldn't be any more difficult to deal with than the huge cap hit this year. I should add that the less cap space you have and the more help you need the more sense it makes. If you have plenty of cap space or you don't have a lot of needs it makes less sense as freeing up cap space for improvement this year is the main impetus behind such a move. That all said I am perfectly fine with cutting all three this year BUT they need to replace them with a high degree of urgency. They can't look at it like "we will cut these guys loose and see what we can get to replace them with" It has to be "we will cut these guys loose and go out and get someone to replace them who is just as good" That probably means free agency. I'm also fine with letting all three play out their contracts and seeing where things go from there but in that case you also have to look at it as if their departure after this year is a foregone conclusion and they have to look at that as well. This could be FA or the draft. [/QUOTE]
