The fact that we're looking at both of these guys should not be that much of a surprise. Iupati is clearly the better of the two but he's supposedly looking for $8.5M per year. That may seem like a lot but remember that that figure is an average that includes things like amortized signing bonus money and back-loaded, non-guaranteed base salary that artificially inflates contract numbers. Give him a $15M signing bonus over five years and guarantees in base salary over the first few years and he should be happy. The problem however is if someone else like San Diego starts a bidding war.
Parnell would be cheaper and fits our most pressing need, but I wonder how good he really is. I know he's better than Doug Free, whom Dallas just re-signed. I'm hoping that between Callahan and McCloughan, they'll make the right call on whether to ink him. If we do get him, though, I wonder what that'll mean for Morgan Moses. The kid looked lost last year and he needs to rehab from a Lisfranc injury.
