Agreed, if you compare to the top FAs of their class.Originally Posted by mraynrand
But it wasn't break the bank territory, especially in Peppers case based on what he was due to make (sure he wasn't going to get any one to pay him as much as Chicago was on the hook for), but I guess I'm suggesting that he and Wood were bargains compared to others (and I'm trying to think of an example... )
But Woodson got a LOT in his deal. I remember being surprised at the amount even then. Someone asked Ted why that amount (only other bidder wanted a safety) and his response was that he was told it would take that amount to get his signature.
Peppers got the previous going rate. Not the new, increasing one for FAs and deals with a ton of bells and whistles, front loaded guarantees and fictional amounts in out years.
