[QUOTE="Veretax, post: 207524, member: 1092"] Yeah I can understand why those who don't know much about the Giants, would think they over paid to keep Tuck, but you also have to understand that in the last year the Giants defensive scheme has changed. It is more of a pressure defense, and now calls for more from its front four then it did in previous years. Given that Tuck has responded well to such a change, I wouldn't say that is a bad deal, but I'm not sure if Williams is as good as Tuck. I'm in favor of trying to keep continuity where you can, but not at the expense of other critical positions. However, if Williams can play a little bit of End as well, that's an improvement in depth that helps the team as well. Oh I agree with you here, its okay to have salaries go up every year, but you really have to be careful, especially as players get older. You don't want to end up in a situation where the money you pay him is so much more than a player may be worth. How old is Williams now? 27 according to the packers site, so in 4 years he will be 32. The risk in long term contracts like this is you don't know what could happen in year 3 or 4. Injuries can happen at any time, and players can lose the speed that made them great.
