I have to tell you after looking at that I"m actually a bit suprised that Robinson didn't take the cash. Now, there's no official word on what the offer was but I find this very interesting. It would appear that they were trying to pay him in the "2nd best corner in football" range, which I would argue he isn't. I think he's terrific mind you. And he's worth more to us than any other franchise hands down.

It's interesting.
I'm curious, those of you who may know more about this than me, where would you rank those top 3 or 4 DB's are they ranked as they are paid?
