this is from the WP after he signed with the giants. similar contract we just payed a 31 year old LB. i know he is an improvement over what we had last year. but just an example of how we dont pay the players we bring up the organization.

I feel like this is getting beat to the ground, but I'll say it again... Look at the contracts that are being given out right now. The salary cap is 30% bigger this year than it was back when we didn't match the giants offer. You have to be relative with these bonuses.
