We'll have to see what the numbers look like but I doubt I would've brought him back for what Minnesota wound up paying...
Looking forward to Greg's sisters breakdown of matt cassel and Christian ponder
Did we get the chance to match? Didn't we offer him around that same price a while back?ESPN reports that the contract "has a maximum value of $47.5 mlllion, with $18 million guaranteed. The contract is worth a minimum of $27 million over the first three years, and could be as much as $28.5".
It was after 48 hours so I guess it's not a big deal.
Finley haters should be crying in their Schlitz. The odds he'll stick just went up.
I'm glad that's over. We would have gotten good value matching that deal.
Yes we did, but we were no longer willing to pay him that much. That offer hasn't been on the table in some time. I'm assuming that offer was made before jones and Cobb proved what they could do. I don't blame Ted for not matching 9m a year on a position that isn't a need.Did we get the chance to match? Didn't we offer him around that same price a while back?
9.5. 9 mil would have been my max so I can't blame TT. Min looks pretty sad with how many of our players they pursue seemingly to spite us.Yes we did, but we were no longer willing to pay him that much. That offer hasn't been on the table in some time.

But green is in our name, and their grass is fake...The grass is always Greener on the other side of the Mississippi (from their point of view). Although I guess their players have no difficulty finding grass, etc. there.
