I think he'll push for a 1-year deal when he realizes that nobody can afford to give him a big bonus right now. I don't think we could afford him though, I think he'd get at least $3 million for one year of play. Plus I like our DTs. Griffin is obviously awesome at penetrating and Salavea complements him so well because he's so stout against the run. Boschetti is playing really well too.

I know we could not afford him but he let 5mil go so I would think that he would be looking for more money. Their are several teams that have pleny of cap room for him. I would think that his agent has a feel for the market and thats why they they did not sign the 5mil deal with Philly. I could be wrong of course.
