I see some familiar names, so I'm hoping they will help me make the transition toward enlightenment and civility.

This is what bothers me from the scout.com story:

Quote:

The rumors of his departure persisted even in Mobile, where TFY Draft Preview heard from one source that the Patriots might still be looking to unload the aging veteran. The chances of that outcome happening look to be remote now. TFY reported that according to Dillon's agent Steve Feldman, Dillon's salary of $6 million for 2006 is guaranteed. Which means he probably isn't going anywhere, and the rumors are just that, rumors..

Dillon's salary isn't $6 million for 2006. Its $3 million. You can look it up on nflpa.org.

If the scout.com reporter was that sloppy in the way he reported this, how accurate can we expect the overall story to be? Not very I'd say.

P.S.-Welcome Brad

It really is $6M, though, because if we don't pick up his $3M option then his salary jumps to a guaranteed $6M.

Ok, so in other words if they cut him, he gets $6M? That makes more sense than the way scout.com wrote it.
