OK guys. The NFL is the way to go.

Kevin Kolb, recently signed with the Bills, has a 2-year contract worth $13M. The guy has shown nothing since being in the league. He is (probably) going to end up as a backup in Buffalo. And the guy gets an average of $6M a year?

Wow. Must be nice.

I'd do it for 3mil. What fools...

BNF.

remember when people wanted US to trade for kolb? I recognized that andy reid stinker a mile away. major props to ireland for not falling for that scam. i am still steamed about the aj feely trade.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I think at the time people were calling for Kolb to be brought in, this fan base was starved for ANY kind of change. We wanted anything but what we had. While I can see the fault in that, I can't blame people for being desperate. For me, I'll just count my blessings we didn't end up with yet another rotten egg at QB and pray Tanneboy stays healthy and successful.

I have yet to see or hear of those details, but if that is the case, then that is fine by me.

I've been advocating for quite a while just that....have standard contracts for positions, time in league, etc, then add the incentives. Let these guys work for their money, just like the rest of us Americans have to do.

Anyway....

I'm right there with you. I love play for pay schemes.
