Sad reason why Idzik needed to be fired, he had an opportunity to have Revis and Cromartie last season and blew it. We could have signed both of them for cheaper last year and didn't jump at it. Rex has to be drooling a bit seeing the three top CBs we have now and that's not counting the crappy one he drafted. Milliner went from the #1 CB on the team to #4 really quick.
Phillip Adams just signed somewhere else (i think tampa) there's no room for a Fake Revis and a Real Revis on the same team. I think the CBA prohibits it.
http://overthecap.com/player/antonio-cromartie/966 Not sure if anyone saw this but looks like the 4 year $32mm deal really only has $15mm in guarantees so it's really a 2 year deal. I still wish the money went to Wilkerson, but I don't feel as terrible as I did when I saw the headline numbers.
It's much smarter than a guaranteed 20 mil. Cro gets good pay for 2 years and then he either renegotiates or gets cut. I still think it's too much money for him but he's coming off of a good year.
I don't like guaranteeing him for 2 years, since I expect his play to dropoff. That said, this is much better than I thought.
