this draft is supposedly very deep at the WR position. if we trade mario the i sure as hell don't want it to be for a wide receiver wanting a new big contract. i was on the fence about mario before, but the mroe i think about it the more i want them to keep him around long term, my guess is they will, and will get creative with contract guarentees to take advantage of the incvreasing cap over the next few years.
for anyone suggesting that foster may have to wait another year, i think that would be the worst possible result of any scenario you could throw out. before the season, bob mcnair told foster and his agent that if he followed up last year with another solid year (which he did), they would take care of him. if they try to push him off it could have an impact not only on foster (holding out), but in future negotiations with players. when the owner makes a statement like that, it HAS to be honored.
