Once he gets settled into one position where he can concentrate all his efforts, he could become a more regular contributor.

Can't go very wrong with the signing.

8 years, 100 million dollars, 50 million garaunteed.

That one's already reserved.

I wasn't sure whether to make a thread about it or not so I just posted it in the reports thread. Good solid signing.

p.s. you still haven't put medlock in the tracker thread

I gotta say I love the way we are doing business, keeping the good players we have developed and parting with those that have underperformed relative to their contracts.

Every year I hope to see Chris Wilson get more playing time cause I believe (maybe foolishly) he is a good pass rusher that's buried in our depth chart.

I didn't even realize he hadn't been signed. Guess I had taken for granted he was on the team.

Using more 3-4 looks will really help him. He's got the ideal size for a 3-4 OLB. I like this move.

Well we didn't have to offer him a new contract with him already being tendered right?

This is a contract extension correct? I know they've been in talks regarding an extension, so it would seem to be a bit anti-climatic if this was a one year deal that just negated his RFA tender.
