Definitely it does. I was trying to point out if we clear up some cap room (Jordan! Jordan!... and others), we should work a new long term deal for Nnamdi using the available space if/as necessary.

Now, it may work out that much of a long-term deal could be back loaded, so signing him to a long-term deal could count even less than his franchise tag against the cap. I guess... I'm no expert of course.

But my point is he has to be priority #1 at this point... then, and only then, should we look to further complicate our cap situation in the years to come by bringing on another high priced player.

My $0.02+tax.
