The deal includes base salaries of, for 2006: $1,750,000, 2007: $4,500,000,
2008: $4,750,000, 2009: $5,750,000."

So the Lions will only take $4.5 million cap hit (the unamortized half of the signing bonus) when they cut him after this season. Or, they can a fat center with a bum foot who can't shotgun snap for a cap hit of only $6 million.

BB didn't have a hardon for Woody so the Pats didn't get stiffed. Otherwise, we'd of gotten screwed.

The problem for Woody is that, when you get cut by the Detroit Freakin' Lions, you are really yesterday's news. Not a big market for Lions rejects.

Maybe Belichick would bring him back for vet minimum and incentives if gets any playtime. He'd push Hochstein in training camp.

So he's probably back out on the market again for 2007.
