That is some great news, but the price was more than I thought they'd offer him.
I guessed his price to be about $6M/year and this deal gives him an average of about $7.2M/year, which is still $2.3M/year less than Nicks, but maybe a slight overpayment?! I wonder what the Ravens' initial offer was? |

Nice, very nice. Offensive side of the ball is good to go (well, with the exception of a long term deal for brees) now let's bolster that d!
Is it just me or does all the bounty bs seem like its not nearly as big a deal as it was a few days ago? |

Maybe Nicks' $9.5M/year contract had an effect on Grubbs' contract as well. |

Yeah, I think that's a good deal as long as we use that $$$ to sign Drew and a linebacker or so... |
