Maybe its just me, but I'm not to hot on the deal we signed for Griese. Yes, we needed someone of his talents as a solid backup. Yes, it was worth the 1st year that we signed for. But what gets me is the second year. Check this out:
The second year is what kills me. A whooping $6million on the cap. That tells me that since Griese wanted a 1 year, and we wanted a 2 year, that we essentially gave him a 1 year deal. There is no way we're going to keep him for that much.
Granted, some will say we did that so we either release him or Jay or restructure one of them. I dunno, it just seems like we got screwed on the second year. And here I was so excited about having some room next year too. Ah well....
The former Denver Broncos starter, who agreed to the deal Friday, will earn $530,000 in base salary this season, plus a $1 million signing bonus.
The second year of the deal will cost Miami more than $6 million in salary cap space, meaning the team would either have to release Griese, restructure his deal or make him the starting quarterback.
