silvermike Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It looks similar to the TO deal, except for the extra two years. The average is 6.66 instead of 6.50, so that'd be a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Me, As Russ Brandon: "Man, oh man Jaguars! Thats a pretty hefty contract for Torry. A really good one though, you guys are really smart for doing that" Jaguars GM Gene Smith: "Thanks, it was a lot of work but we definitely improved our team!" Me, As Russ Brandon: "Yup...you sure did! I'm sure your salary cap wont be burdened at all by that 6 and a half million hit. You guys were pretty close to being over to begin with, you sure you can afford this?" Jaguars GM Gene Smith: "Well uhh...gee" Me, As Russ Brandon: "Whoa, okay...calm down. We can work through this. Say, there is this guy on your team who seems to be taking some cap space up. Goes by the name of John Henderson. We'll take him off your hands for you, we'll even give you our STARTING DE Chris Kelsay to help your D-Line" Jaguars GM Gene Smith: "You'd do that for us? You're swell! This Kelsay guy, is he any good?" *awkward silence* Me, As Russ Brandon: "He's something alright...I'll send the paperwork over tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMannn Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Holt instantly becomes their best WR since Jimmy Smith retired. Ya think? That's a lot of $$$$$$$$ for a 33 year old wide-out coming off his worse year in 7-8 years. May have already hit the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have already hit the wall Most other teams, maybe not. Again, this is the Jags we're talking about. (And okay, maybe -- MAYBE -- I'm exaggerating a little for effect. Then again, maybe not.)
