I found this to be quite hilarious on www.profootballtalk.com....hehe!!
LIONS LAMBASTED FOR PAYING VERBA
League insiders are laughing their asses off in response to reports that the Detroit Lions gave offensive lineman Ross Verba a $2.2 million signing bonus, a $1.8 million base salary for 2006, and a five-year deal worth up to $20 million in total payments.
Said one high-level league insider, "If any of this is true, they should fire every member of that organization."
Verba regarded in most NFL cities as a complete and total turd. Besides, who in the hell were the Lions competing with for his services?
In fairness to the Lions, the deal includes a $2.5 million option bonus payable in 2007, which means that the contract might only be worth, in the end, $4 million over one year. Even then, however, Verba doesn't deserve $4 million for one year of football.
Heck, he doesn't deserve $1 million. Instead, the Lions should have dangled the one-year veteran minimum salary and told Verba to take it, leave it, or get a better deal elsewhere.
