Taylor press conference at 1:15pm

At first I thought I was going to be my typically cynical self and say that we got screwed in this deal. I heard reports that we had given as much as $17 million as a signing bonus. I thought to myself....Terrance Newman was chosen one pick higher than Taylor last year, corners get paid a lot more than safeties, and we gave him a signing bonus worth $3 million more?

Then I read that we gave him a $7 million signing bonus with a roster bonus and other incentives that could give him slightly over $13 million (with a total contract value of $18 million), and I thought that was a pretty damn good deal. Plus, it got done before camp started!

Someone has got their sh-t wired tight!
