I cannot, under any circumstances, imagine Simon getting less guaranteed money than $8 million and he'll probably command a lot more money than that.
I just can't see us signing this guy unless we do some serious cap manuevering and shifting some personnel around. And since we have more of a need for a pass rusher I don't know how the Skins would begin to justify signing him.
