The amount of melodrama in this thread is off the charts.
Sure, I disagree with the extension, but Understand some things:
a) Kelsay is not getting overpaid by THAT much, and there isn't a salary cap this year.
b) The chances are low he'll even play for all four of those years
c) we don't know the exact terms of the deal, especially with regards to signing bonus
d) look at the rest of our linebackers.. if we didn't sign him we're going into the next season with Ellis and Maybin starting. No way do we fill in the rest in one off season, even if we can use some of this years draft picks.
Please take a deep breath, a step back, and just relax. No need to start the whole chicken little thing right now.
It's like some of you expect Nix to go in his time machine, and keep all the great defensive players we've let go and release all the crappy ones we're now stuck with. Is signing Chris Kelsay REALLY what put you over the edge? Ridiculous
