Things to consider regarding Harper's cap number...

Agreed. But unfortunately and puzzlingly, we gave him an enormous contract. I think GW must have influenced Loomis too much in Harper's contract year.

Good point. i wouldn't mind having him at a 2.5 million cap hit, but I agree with CitySaint that 7.1 is WAY too high. There are much better players on both offense and defense that should be making more, such as Jimmy Graham on offense and the recently restructured Curtis Lofton on defense.
