Wow.
I take it you didn't see the posts right above yours.
Surprised like hell is the only way to describe. I didn't even know we were in contention for Allen at this point. Cutler re-structured to make this happen? SWEET BABY JESUS I LOVE CUTLER and I LOVE ALLEN now.
If you're talking to me. I refreshed the page twice to make sure I wasn't creating a double post and there were no threads yet. Maybe I missed it because I was pretty pumped at the news, but I think we must have been posting at the same time.
I just flipped over two cars and set a Barnes & Noble on fire.
Andrew Brandt @adbrandt 12m
Allen to receive $32M over four years, with $15.5M guaranteed, per @MikeGarafolo. Translation: contract is 2 years, $15.5 million.
Fuckin highway robbery.
I want to be excited about this and the fact that he had 11.5 sacks last year helps. But I sort of feel like, meh, we overpaid a 32 year old guy who won't play out his contract. I guess every quality signing, no matter the price, still gives Emery more flexibility in the draft, but this feels like a desperation move to make up for blowing it so badly with the McClellin pick. Since he's getting roughly as much this year as the Packers are paying Peppers I guess I will be satisfied if he just outperforms him.
I don't even know why you'd assume I was talking to you.
