You miss my point.
1. I dont think Leary costs $10 million against the cap. If you look at Lauvao's deal, he averaged $4.5 million a year against the cap. So I can see Leary getting between $5.5-7 million a year average, and costing no more than $5 million against the cap in year one.

2. The only reason I think he is poachable is because short of massive contract reworking, Dallas will still be hampered by the gift that keeps giving (the Romo Contract)
3. out making a single move, the Skins stand to have just shy of $60 million in cap space. Cut Hall, Lauvao and Litch, and we are at around $71 million in cap space. Meaning.. .we could Franchise tag Kirk ($24 million) and still have $47 million in which to resign Baker, add to the defense and STILL sign the target of my poaching.
Yes I have put thought into this before just throwing it out there. Bonus, if Kirk is signed long term, I dont expect his year one cap hit to be any more than $17 million.
OK - if they can somehow just pull off this move and replace Lauvoa with one player -fine. However - I would pretty much leave everything else alone. Just keep developing the current roster & do the best you can. It almost looks like people are ragging on this unit which is ridiculous.
They made some bad plays against a very good defense. Big deal. They still are giving up fewer sacks than all but one team in the NFL & the run blocking is not that bad when you consider that they don't have an elite running back nor a coach who emphasizes the run. Tweaking is perhaps in order but not wholesale changes. For God's sakes are we going back to the Vinny era?
