Ravens gave Yanda, their RG a contract last year which pays him an average of $6.5M/year, so I think that is close to what the Ravens offered Grubbs as well - the Saints might've offered him "only" $700k/year more, but it seems to have been enough.

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

Yeah, I think we overpaid a little for Grubbs, but to have a guy that WANTS to be here (as opposed to playing under the tag) and who costs us $2mm/year less that what it probably would have cost to keep Nicks?

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