Cmon man....
Dude, he just turned 28 on December 30th.
He has at least 5 productive years left before age is a legitimate issue for his position.
Kelly Gregg just put in a solid year for us and was 35 years old.
Soliai wont even be 29 until the end of next season.
Also, the cap talk is silly.
We were 32 million dollars under the cap and signed guys to front loaded deals. Siting being in trouble in the future due to the cap is a soon to be vanquished legend.
Truth is, we NEED to sign guys like Soliai if we are gonna get to the true cap floor next year without being forced to sign average players to above average contracts.
We are talking about a probowl quality player at a very important position in relevance to our type of defense that canbehad for a reasonable amount. There is no downfall to signing a guy like him.
