4. TE: Sample: $2.75 mil/$0
5. DT: Carter: $1.6 mil/$219k

I used to be pretty low on BJ Hill and his salary, but at this point you almost have to re-sign him. 

This roster is going to be decemated because we just refuse to extend guys. Hill should have been extended this off-season when they lost Reader. Higgins should have been reuped 2 years ago. 

Our long term cap is a joke. We literally have like three guys on a second contract after next year. They can afford to pay whoever the **** they want.
