Not surprised with the contract, which isn't bad for Washington actually. It's 20% less that what he was getting in Philly. What I am surprised with is the amount that was guaranteed. My first reaction to hearing that he gets $16MM of his contract guaranteed, was shock. A bit less after I realized the 2 main teams bidding for his services where Washington and Oakland.
Still I wouldn't be surprised that when the entire contract is revealed that Washington has several clauses in there that protects them if Jackson misses meetings, is insubordinate, or arrested. As we have seen so often during this off season (and every off season for that matter), most of the time, when the "curtain is raised" on the real contract, its usually for less than originally reported.
