We can free up an extra $9M if we restructure/extend Brady, Light and Faulk so that their cap hit in 2009 is $1M each. We could use huge guaranteed options due in 2010 for each to make them whole.
We also have other opportunities to free up smaller amounts of cap space.
Once Peppers is on board we can sign a long term deal that frees up more cap space that we can then use to sign our draft picks and make other moves.
I admit that I don't think this will happen. Too many things have to fall in place for any of the Peppers scenarios to work.
But it is NOT the case that we can't make this deal happen. Even if making it happen required us to temporarily clear enough cap space for Pepper's franchise tag.
