Thompson has paid out big money before to guys like TE Bubba Franks and DE KGB when they had big number contracts. All the talk was he was going cut them if they didn't work out a new contract... and as it turns out Thompson just paid them their contracts until they could no longer play well enough to keep a roster spot.

I looked it up, and KGB made $6.15 million in 2008, which was his final season. That's a lot of money for a player who was losing his effectiveness, though he did have nine sacks in '07, and pass rushers cost money.
I still think $10 million for a very good but not great linebacker is just too steep. I hope they sign Hawk to a long-term deal that is more cap-friendly.
