Dane, you said we're $41M under the cap, and I swear I just saw something posted earlier where Clark's contributions to the renovations is $40M, if that's true don't you think it's just a little more than a coincidence?

Actually in December 2008, Hunt dropped another $75 million of his personal money into the stadium renovations and at that point, I posted that we'd see little if any free agency movement.
But that's NOT because of a lack of money. It's because the Hunts are notoriously cheap.
Furthermore, like OTWP stated, I highly doubt that after years of being pursued for a GM position, Scott Pioli would take a job with the caveat of not being able to spend money.
For proof, they shelled out over $30 million alone this year for Cassel and Jackson.
I personally believe that Pioli & Haley not only did a poor job of evaluating the talent available in the 2009 draft, but they also did a poor job of evaluating the existing talent on the roster.
Starting Niswanger and cutting Pollard being just two examples.
