Yeah, if his interpretation is correct (and it looks solid), then it's $16 mil a year for a mid-level QB, with friendly cap numbers. (The risk being that Jerry just signed over a $25 million check to Romo, who could be hit by a bus tomorrow.)
Do they have an Oline? If so he might actually have a legitimate chance to prove he is an ok QB, Brady would look bad behind that Cardinals line. Theres not much hope but theres enough to hope it might be possible to have a decent QB in Kolb.
Arizona went from a promising team with a lot of young talent (when Boldin was still there, and Adrian Wilson wasnt a dinosaur) whos defense was on the rise all whilst having a franchise type guy in Fitzgerald.
Which means that all is right with the world. I believe that global warming was caused by the year that the Cardinals went to the superbowl.
Apparently only 40 million is guaranteed and 15 of that is due to all the previous restructuring, apparently there is some language in the contract that would allow them to ditch Romo after 2014. The contract isn't as bad as the media has been trying to make it out to be.
They never are, and it really is a similar situation in the sense that the teams are pretty much fucked if they DON'T make a big deal signing with those guys. You either sign them and say how confident you are in them or you show the fanbase that you are rebuilding. Latter may be the smarter move, but no one ever wants to make it.
I'm excited to see what a flashy back up does every single time. Morbidly curious I'd say...
minimum wage is $7.25/hour. they can probably figure something out for 2-3 guys.
