We could wait until next year, but:
(1) If the rumors are correct, some other team may pick him up this year first.
(2) There would be more teams interested next year (?) since he wouldn't be facing the 4 game suspension he is now.
(3) If the CBA is renegotiated, then SD can effectively renegotiate his contract themselves. Right now they're scared of the uncertainty next year.
(4) Not sure, but we may be able to give him a fat signing bonus in this uncapped year that we may not be able to later.
(5) He'd be one year older @ 28yrs.
(6) We're going to need him for the Super Bowl this year.
[personally i say we don't go for it. i don't care about snyder's money but draft picks are invaluable to a franchise and are always undervalued].
