Exactly Hogskin, just look at the way Snyder structures his deals with players.

Below are just a few examples of players' salaries that will double, or even triple, between this year and next year:

Jon Jansen $2M to $4M
Randy Thomas $1M to $2.6M
MLB 59 Micheal Barrow $760K to $1.74M
WR 80 Laveranues Coles $535K to $1.5M
Renaldo Wynn $2M to $3.5M

Now, I understand that many deals are backloaded, but it seems like our entire roster is full of backloaded deals. Can't we squeeze another one in for a VITALLY important position?

Plus, we might want to trade Gardner (which I opposed doing before we got Thrash - who I think is just as good) while teams still want him when he's young, cheap (2 years left on the deal), and his value isn't set in stone as being a decent #2.

I'm normally a cap-conservative guy, but I think the Dline needs special attention.
