Cheap? I understand it may be $15M a year. Hope I heard wrong.

If you are talking about Todd Davis it was 5 million I think.

Sounds better. Must have been a typo, or I need to clean my glasses. Or both.

I think it was 15m over 3 years.

Wow, I'd love to be an ineffective linebacker!

I am an ineffective linebacker. My salary has a few less 0's though.

I think "ineffective" would have been an upgrade to my game . . .

just listened to a segment by ray crockett on orange and blue 760, discussing the brock signing. . . ray said he's a physical corner who is strong in press coverage, and that he's better suited outside than inside. . . he's assuming that harris will still play the slot when we go nickle. . . said that brock is a very willing and capable tackler in run support, and expects this to help our sub-package run D. . . said he has good eyes for zone coverage, but his ball skills aren't great, so don't expect a lot of big plays from him. . . he also said this makes him think they still believe in langley, but they want to buy him another year to develop. . .

I like what you say but you had me worried for a minute.

discussing the brock signing

Was thinking what the heck, we just re-signed Oz?

Yeah, I'm no great fan of Todd Davis, but then you look and the ILB market is awful right now. Who would you sign instead of him? You'd probably be better going to the draft.

Except Harris is pissed off about having to play slot because of his pro bowl snub.

They might do that, anyway. But I understand it's a bit thin there, too . . .
