Its not just about this season. If we spend all the extra $30 million on big contracts, when 2013 comes back and we no longer are allowed to be $30 million over the cap what do we do? I would rather get the first 4 guys plus some others and still have a little room for other young guys down the road. I like Lewis as well, so to me I would rather spend it in other spots.
If we get the first 4 guys you are looking at like $40 million give or take, so anything else is using the role-over money that dissapears next season. I am all for spending, and its not a bad move, but I just would rather spend it somewhere else. I guess this is assuming that we aren't going after Manning.
Beyond this, just on my personal feeling of what Pioli will do, I doubt he goes after a bunch of names. If he is only going to go get 1 or 2 big guys I would rather it be Nicks and Soliai. I personally think the best we will see is Carr, Bowe, and Soliai. Not even sure we see that.
