Re: An (out of the box) solution to the Pitta situation
Don't you think teams have been exploring these type of ideas since the salary cap started? It wouldn't be too hard for the NFL to spot the retired player now being the highest paid position coach in history.
It wasn't too long ago that they penalized the Redskins $36 million in cap space for what they considered to be manipulation during the uncapped year. Any team doing what you suggest would get penalized the same way.

Re: An (out of the box) solution to the Pitta situation
Caveat emptor. In the past Ozzie learned a lesson when he reached for Boller and swore he would never duplicate that again(Billick would agree). A QB does not carry the same risks as other players who are more likely to suffer a career ending injury or just lose that competitive edge. In hindsight, the Pitta contract was generous considering the injury he suffered beforehand.
The same could be said of Webb and his ACL. So was RR's considering he's a RB who have shorter careers in general. Even Ngata with the contract numbers that would challenge the best defensive players to match performance for pay at 16m.
Having said that, Ozzie is one of the best. As much as I hate to admit it, Belichick is still the master, but even he has had his missteps.

Re: An (out of the box) solution to the Pitta situation
No news seems like bad news regarding pitta, and that makes me sad.
