Y’all were so worried.

He must have re been about to sit out. You don't see this happy late at night like this often

For reference witherspoon was 132m 101m gtd overall. 59m at signing.

So over 1m GTD more overall. 3m more total contract.

He was going no where. Kraft couldn't afford to lose a home grown talent without risking total uprising.

Now let's go get it.

We're now ready to kick some seahawk butt

BUT KRAFT NEVER PAYS WAAAAAHHHHH

 

[A.C Vegas]

It is great to see this but what are the ones that call kraft cheap and called gonzo greedy and bring worth it going to say

There’s been no proof of us showing cheap tendencies since Bill left. In fact, quite the opposite. It was always overblown.

 

[Se7eN]

No distractions for the game. Let's go!

In the other thread, I put together a very long list of draftees that Bill paid at the top of the league at their position. So even with BB they paid people.

In fact, if the AAV is right on this new contract, $33.75m, it's still less than what Belichick gave Gilmore as a % of the cap (11.4% in his last 2 years) and also in Revis's one year (12%), assuming the cap is going up to $330m next year as some have predicted.

We'll see about the signing bonus. The up front money has been the hangup all along.

Do people believe Witherspoon got more?

 

[Delicate Genius]

Hell yeah.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

But but but the Kraft are cheap how could it be

 

[slash83]

Those idiots are still here and will never shut up.

It’s only 11 PM in Seattle.

I predict 80% of PF posters will be butthurt because either Gonzo got too much or he didn’t get enough. And fifty to sixty pages of vitriolic text will be posted about it by game time. It’s just the nature of the beast. That’s what makes it so entertaining. Best thing to watch this side of a dumpster fire.

Oh god! Now you’ve done it, Gonzo’s in a funk and going to sulk until they renegotiate.
