djfarr00 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Wow. Yesterday I had mixed emotions about our signings. Happy with DD. Thought we overpaid for LW. Apparently the market is demanding that you grossly overpay for marginal talent - Case in point - The Pats offered Wes Welker a 7 year 38 million dollar deal. http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/10033511 I need to get used to the pay changes. Imagine what Lee Evans is going to make in 2 years! Go Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats were rumored to have been considering a poison pill in that offer. I would imagine that's why it's so long and so pricey. In reality, it's probably much more reasonable.

The numbers don't mean much until you look at the first three years of the contract. That's the legitimate part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
