So in order to try not to be offensive, might I suggest that Randle-El's performance on the field - taking into account all of his field position contributions and receptions and gadget plays - did not merit a $10M signing bonus.

I don't disagree with anything in this post, in fact I agree 100%. My only point was that it's early to call ARE a bust and he had a decent year in 2006. In fact, ARE was one of the few bright spots from 06; he made plays whenever he touched the ball (even if he didn't touch the ball enough).
