What I understand about the salary cap and structure is this, Max. We have some young players (Dumervil, Marshall, Cutler, to mention a few)...players who are and will be contributing a lot more to the team than Walker or Elam... who will need to be signed long-term in the future. I'd like to see the team in position to retain these players even if it means letting a good but injury-prone WR and a clutch but aging kicker go elsewhere in search of bigger paydays.
