Amendola was stupid to take more money vs another super bowl chance, sorry det but you won’t be a true contender this year.
Why he gets more $$
He took a paycut in his later years in New England. Already has 2 rings. Let the man get his bag
Danny was a great team player. Got two rings, let the man get his money. Good for him
Seems like the math is off on Morse.
Yea… thought the same, click the Twitter link and it makes sense
Liking the way the salaries look for Collins. Solid signing for the Skins
That’s a lot of money for a safety coming off of a season with no interceptions. Not sure this is the best use of $15m/year. A pity to lose DJ Swearinger at $8m/year. Jay Gruden and his coordinators could save a lot of cap space if they would pre-emptively deal with discipline issues rather than wait and then overreact.
