I hope Ronnie is worth the 5 mill a year.

If a person is a moron for trying to get the money he deserves, then I guess I'm a moron as well. Because I tell you right now, there's no way I'd accept a 5% increase in pay when everyone else around me is getting 15% increases. You are stupid if you would accept it.


not cool to argue against someone getting the big pay day, but he doesn't deserve that much yet. no rookies do. it's just the system. if what you mean is he deserves it as much as alex smith. sure, you could say that.

I believe only Alex Smith got a 15% increase and the consensus around the league was that he was overpaid.
Since when does one team get to set the market for everyone else? Just because one team makes a bad business decision doesn't mean the other 30 have to also.

Smith got a 19 or 20% increase, and some guy in the 5-10th pick range got like a 15% increase.

I haven't seen what Cadillac got yet.

Damn straight. I can't wait to see him play, and I don't blame him for going for his market value.

I hope Ronnie Brown squeezes every available nickel out of Huizenga. Ronnie was hardly my first choice for us to identify at #2, but it's pathetic ignorance for fans to side with the greedy and lying owners year after year, player after player. And don't give me this bunk about salary cap concerns because I'm in my 40s and plenty old enough to remember simpleton fans siding with ownership every time even when there was no salary cap to worry about. I have three friends from college who went to work for professional sports franchises and their tales about front office lies and abuses would fill a dozen episodes of 60 Minutes.

Still, regarding Ronnie Brown, it will never compute that a 5th year RB is worthy of the 2nd pick in any NFL draft. That's contradictory in itself. If a RB is legit good enough to be picked that high there's no chance he stays in college five years. In fact, he'll typically be gone in three years. The only way a RB of that caliber should spend 5 years in college is due to major injury causing a redshirt year, in which case he's never going to be picked #2.


our management paying what it does for an OL coach, offensive coordinator and HC, i wouldn't call them cheap. in this case, the concern is the salary cap. whats the problem with playing this game with his agent over a few million? brown's going to be well off.
