ESPN - Grateful Freeney signs $72 million deal with Colts - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2935483)
Hard to say hes worth this with his run stopping deficencies, but the market is insane right now.
Wow, it's no surprise he's getting this kind of money but it's still a shock to see the figure $72M in print.
$30M signing bonus!
I just choked on my soda.

Didn't Carter get half that?
Freeney's perfect for the style of ball the colts play though.

By the 3rd year of this deal, he and Peyton will be eating 40% of that team's cap room.
40%! On two players.

Well you figure they got a ring out of the deal so far. And they have a solid coaching staff, so who knows, maybe they've figured out a new way to build a championship franchise.

Don't know about that. I mean, who's really worth 72MM anyway? The NFLs pay system and ours are in two different orbits.

I can only imagine what kind of a contract Julius Peppers is going to sign now. If i were JP i would be sending a thank you stripper-gram to Mr. Freeney.
