He must be absolutely positive he going to be able to sign these guys.

I think the Pittman contract is an obstacle. If we could restructure it ASAP, it would help with negotiations with Pierce. However, we need to find a contract for Pierce to know what we need to do with other contracts to make it all work within the cap. I think we will see a couple of expensive vets cut to save on the cap (Franklin comes to mind), but that can happen later, as we do not have to be under the cap until much later in the year.
