That way, if a rookie beats out a vet, you have a long term solution, but if the rookie stumbles somehow, you aren't left empty handed. After all, not one of these contracts were super bank busters...

How can a rookie beat out Santana Moss for the second and a half receiver role? Moss got more first three years money than all but two FA wide receivers (Rice, Holmes), a bigger guarantee than all but four FA wide receivers (Rice, Holmes, Moore, Breaston), and an average per year higher than all but two FA WRs (Rice, Holmes). Put another way, Moss is making more than Chad Ochocinco is over the same length of terms. How can Terrance Austin beat THAT for playing time?

I'll tell you how: incriminating photographic evidence.

Or cell phone pictures of sleeping teammates.
