Strictly speaking, they didn’t break the bank at all. He signed for 4 years and $46 million, which is about the same yearly average as Asante Samuel’s deal ($10 million per). The only bank-breaking part of the contract is that $25 million of it is due next season.

Well that’s what I meant, sorry if I was unclear. The guaranteed monies are really starting to get up there in the NFL these days!

Tell me about it. Not really a case of their stopping the Colts, rather Arian Foster decided to turn into Jim Brown for a day. Just a whipping on both sides of the ball. I’m feeling a lot better about their making the playoffs, and I don’t think anymore that Kubiak is going to get canned early.
