If Bo's number is $750k per than Huff honestly doesn't have the cap to sign big name defensive players and will have to rely on his talent scouting / pipeline to fill the defensive holes. If Bo doesn't sign here he can royally screw the Stamps for this year and next because the window to re-allocate those dollars will have passed with all the signings today. Given this year's unique free agency, there won't be the same kinds of opportunities in Free agency next year and it might get difficult to bring in US talent with the XFL starting up next year in addition to the AAF.
My inclination is that Bo wanted to go to free agency to maximize his earnings. Huff wasn't going to give him $700k+ prior to today, but he probably meets the ask today.
