Re: Cesar Ruiz signs 4 year $44 Million Extension

The money does not seem terrible but I am skeptical giving all this money to a player who seems good but not dominant and took his sweet time to develop until the latter years of his rookie contract. Now that he is paid and he knows we dont have the cap space to bail if it doesnt work out, will he slack off? He wasn't holding out. He only had one good season and we could have waited to make sure he repeats it this year. The most we could lose is having to pay more if he gets even better. But on the other hand if he regresses or we need to rebuild, it would have been nice to have more financial flexibility. If we waited we could have decided to give the money to Granderson, Shaheed, etc instead. We would have also had some protection if Ruiz got injured which has been a frequent issue for all our other oline.
