Unfortunately Wade was not even initially consulted about signing Ed Reed. Wade became aware after the fact. uuummm mali mali uummmm.
Being weanies was a reflection on Wade as well so why would Bob consult him? He wanted to be tougher and smarter and Reed smartly showed him how to millions with ease .
I think most would say Ed Reed contributed very little or nothing at all, unless of course you bow to Kirby 3 times a day. Then of course Bob can do no wrong and Ed Reed was a brilliant move. uummmm mali mali uuummmm.

No one will ever convince me that that the Ed Reed fleecing wasn't a McNair call from jumpstreet because of what he said at the time. All Rick did was call the hangar tell 'em to gas up the ol' biplane and give them a destination to pick Reed up.
This whole fiasco just flies in the face of what McNair's off season speech of a few years ago when he said they'd NEVER "sign another aging vet at the end of his career that was just looking for one last payday" ( That quote may not be verbatim, if not it's really close). IIRC he specifically named Ahmad Green and *Ron Dayne*(*I think), then turned around and did exactly that.
Personally I can't believe we didn't receive way more negative or humiliating media response than we did. I was a Ben Tate kinda fan at the time. You know, wishy-washy. Cudos to those that called it what it was and what it turned out to be: A fleecing by a washed up, broken down, crippled crook. And McNair seemingly skated through it unscathed in the media.
I have nothing but my gut feelings here but my guess is Bill O'Brien won't be afraid to call a spade a spade and make his opposition know with no room for misunderstanding. Just my
Well JJ will change that and Clowney will be an OLB and will get double good double good Double Mint sacks!
It might be due to things in contract besides upfront bonus and salary like roster bonus but you have a good point. I think the first round amount is set but others are up for negotiation. Who signs first leaves less of the pie for others.
Poster above says ESPN and Forbes confirms it and you say not true? Based on what?
It is in the best interest of these companies to keep their mouths shut about what guy signed for how much. And I'll bet it's written into the endorsement contracts that the athletes also have to keep their mouths shut about the details.
Didn't make sense. Nike is a $68 billion dollar company, PUMA is ~$3 billion.
Yes, but I can't find a direct quote of Brandt and he has yet to respond to inquiries. I imagine it was pulled from XM/Sirius radio show where he likely misspoke the number that, when reported, are typically higher than reality.
Tiger's first deal - right out of Stanford - was only for $40 mil...
...JDC is on the same line as that #99 guy. 
) do you think Clowney can or will meet or exceed what JJ's accomplished?
The rest is here.
I'd be really pleased to see this guy do everything everyone say's he can do. The whole time I was reading that I was
If Clowney starts as well as JJ did and progresses as well in yrs. 2 & 3 will he be as good? If his bone spurs poof into the night (after his groin surgery(s?) heal(s) for sure
Just axin.
Thany You !
