But I think we allow the team who drafted him to get a chance to cut the player cap-hit free. I don't think a team should be penalized if a DB switches to a LB, and his salary goes up 200cb and that team already has 4 LB and only 2 DB. Likewise, if a player switches from LB to DL, the team should not have to pay a LB salary for DL stats.
Thomas Davis is I believe a 3rd year player, so we won't be making any salary adjustments on him now.

I'd say that whatever position a player is as of the begining of in season free agency of his rookie year is the determinant of his contact. I think that's basically what you're saying, and I'm just reiterating that I agree.
