Todd Collins Re-Ups

espn reporting collins re-upted 3 years 9 mil

Is it just me or isn't that a bit much for a backup QB who is as old as dirt?

I think that's a pretty fair deal for a #2 these days.

Plus the market is just crazy. Some DT in Oakland who I've never heard of got $18 million in guarantees ... Andre Davis got $8 million in guarantees ... and we won't have Brunell's big contract and will likely go after a low-priced #3 QB so it will work out numbers wise. Good news I think, to have TC back. Glad they got this done.

Yeah the FA market looks like it's going to pick up where it left off last year with marginal guys getting mega deals and stars getting insane mega deals. Sounds like there may have been a bit of a bidding war for Collins, I like that we got this done quickly. He was definitely a top priority. Nice to see us paying our own guys for once.

Thanks Matty...I trust your opinion on market value.

I sure am glad we have a decent backup! this is excellent news...he was our top potential free agent....good work....dare I say it....Cerrato

That's a good move...kudos. Let's get Hackett.

Good to have TC back. I think he would do well within this new offense. Quick decisions and release of the ball to a spot. Time will tell and I hope he doesn't see the field in 2008.

I'm Happy about that. Dude is serious gamer

Matty - lets hope that teams go bonkers this year - as many GM's have said that the talent pool is not that great. That way teams will use up their cap space so when the SKins eventually do get some cap room in future years the competition will be lower if you know what I mean.

I was thinking the same thing but how much of that money will TC ever see and how much is based off him actually playing?
