3) Deion Sanders - signed @ 33yrs for $8 million signing bonus, $55 million/7yrs (quit in 2001).
4) Jason Taylor - signed @ 34yrs for 2nd/6th round picks, $8 million/year.


Let me reiterate, signing an old veteran is not a good idea. They usually take the money, and never are worth it. At least Bruce Smith got us 29 sacks..

I don't think anyone here is saying sign him to a big contract, only to a vet min situation. Although he is very unlikely to come here.
