I’ll laugh if all this money moving is just to extend Whitehair.

I would too. But they need to keep that line in place. Especially the young guys. Plus there are others like RRH needing to be signed.
One thing about Pace is he puts up a hell of a smokescreen when he want to.

the only thing we can assume to know about Mr. Pace is that he does have a plan to get who / what he wants ... as to what that plan may be, it is safely behind that smokescreen you allude to

Tevin Coleman still out there. So is Justin Houston. Never know what Pace is looking to do.

Not to douse the Bell flames but it could be Pace has a couple of deals he's working with RBs like Ingram or Coleman and looking to fill PK with Gostkowski and find another Edge Rusher.
Amos is history and Bush's cap hit is only $851k so he can always bring in a vet SS on a cheaper deal like he's doing with Skrine. I don't think he values the position enough to spend big on SS.
Having Davis to pair with Ingram or Coleman and leaving money left over to add another couple of key players makes more sense to me than signing Bell. JMHO

Coleman would just be another Cohen wouldn't he? I wouldn't get spending that much there.
Houston, sort of the same deal, I mean unless it was a really short term deal... how much money do you want at ANY ONE position? Even a really important one.
I'd love to see them lock up Floyd and Whitehair now and then have a couple offseasons to extend Mitch and maybe Cohen. Get them to sign early extensions for a little extra money upfront and the team saves a little in the long term.

The longer it goes the more I think the money will be used to extend guys like whitehair and Floyd possibly.

Whitehair I am sure of. Floyd is going to depend on price.UOK wrote:Floyd and Whitehair will both be extended, guaranteed.southdakbearfan wrote:The longer it goes the more I think the money will be used to extend guys like whitehair and Floyd possibly.

This better be for extensions rather than new signings.
