Let's not count our chickens before they hatch!
If we reportedly did "screw" Houston and Dalembert over, it can still come back to bite us on the backside. Remember Hayes is Houston's free agent. They still have his bird rights and can go over the cap to re-sign him if they want to. Obviously there is a strong interest from their part and they can either make us overpay for Chuck or they can blow us out of water with an offer that we could not match despite having more salary cap space.
Hold off on popping that bottle of champagne just yet because if we learned anything in the last week, its that its not over until the ink on the contract dries....and even then there is something that can derail it all (see voiding Chuck's contract in the first place)
