Cap or no cap it is dangerous to sign bad deals. Not to mention that big money tells a guy he can expect a big role to go with it.
I want LT, but his expectations and his salary have to be in line with what we are asking him to do.

Ya, that's a concern, but a minor one. My 2 year $10M example was also obviously hyperbolic. But, if the Texans were to offer LT a contract that some of our players felt was unfair (to them), they can go and become one of the greatest players at their respective position in the history of the game and then come back and bitch about it. Whatever.
