And it turned out he signed a deal with Buffalo that got included an $18 million signing bonus.
So...same source is telling me Los is asking for a $24 million signing bonus...and he's got the same agent as Dockery.
Now, could this source be wrong? Of course, but his track record tells me it's not quite so likely
What do you all think. $24 million? Worth it?

It really doesnt surprise me. I think I would have said 20 mil guarenteed would do the trick for Los before, so 24 is still high. We got a lot room with all the cap space (I know its no cap NOW) we have created cutting people clearly not worth their contract. Its much easier to make an arguement for keeping Los than others on this team. If he is asking that much and looking at player value, you gotta think the CB from Oakland wouldnt be too far from 24 mil and a better player. Or I bet if you gave 20 mil guarrentte to Ike Taylor in Pittsburg he come play for us. So I think its high, kinda surprised with all the uncertainty Los wouldnt come off that number.
