20 mil in bonuses, and could be worth up to 60 mil, a new rookie record.

 I heard KW turned down a contract that would have made him the highest paid tight end in the NFL's history. What a loser.

Did you hear the collective gasp in Cleveland when this deal was announced?

The signing of Fitz just made the signing of Winslow THAT much harder. Good luck to the Browns trying to get him in camp. A shame he's not like his father.

Wasn't his dad quoted as saying that Taylor got ripped off by the Skins? This signing in essence gives KW amunition. Fitzgerald apparently didn't "settle" for a slotted amount, as his deal is bigger then Manning's and Gallery's, so why should he settle for Taylor money? Simply because we the fans think that he should? I don't agree with anyone holding out, but you can't call one guy greedy because he didn't settle when obviously he isn't the only one taking that aproach.

Plus, I think that people have to factor in how much influence an agent has. This is the guy (or guys in this case) that you're suppossed to trust on everything. So if he says the sun is purple with orange and white polka dots and then shows you a picture of it along with bar graphs and the such, how do you not follow him? It's almost like a mother telling her child something... It's hard not to believe. |

That's funny, although I personally feel that Irsay trumped any of Snyder's signings with that Peyton deal.
