The bonus to Pace is due after the season is over...they can go to war with this team and still make the payment to him after the season is over I think. They have been keeping that amount open all year long.
Note that Faulk's base salary is club friendly next year, with his age, the expected escalation in the cap I think the Rams came out pretty good in this deal after all. By the time he hits the last three years of that deal the going rate for a franchise back will probably be close to that anyway.

Reprinted from an earlier report--
What is Kevin Carter's future? Will he stay with the Rams? My sense is that if they wait until he is a free agent they will never keep him.
BUT he has put down substantial roots here and really likes St. Louis. He feels a special relationship as the first draft pick from here and wants to get a new contract extension before 2000. If they open up contract negotiations toward the end of this year of during next years offseason they will be able to keep him easily. I expect them to do so....he is incredibly personable and one of the most visible players locally.
