Why? What has Pace done on the field to convince you he's not worth the kind of salary Ogden is going to receive? Or are you saying Pace's salary should be docked because of his negotiation tactics? I think that's a fair argument, but I don't agree with it.
Rumor has it that Ogden is going to ink his new deal soon, and I guarantee you that once he does, the Postons and the Rams are going to be first in line to get the exact numbers. Ogden got a $16 million signing bonus as part of the contract he signed in 2000, and I've heard that he already rejected a contract with an $18 million bonus.
The Rams had better prepare themselves for one of three things:
1) Prepare to suck it up and sign Pace long-term to a high salary
2) Prepare to make roster cuts over the next few seasons while continuing to franchise Pace
3) Prepare to deal Pace and find personnel capable of playing effectively at the LT position
