Yeah, this was posted in the Jets section, it's really not that much considering what other guys have gotten, but now I see why he wanted to go to the Falcons so bad.
Good for him :beer: He gets the cash he wanted and gets to play near his home :beer: We get rid of a little whiny bitch and actually get some compensated for it :beer:
As I recall this was basically what he was offered 3 years ago when Ellis and Abe were offered the same contracts. Ellis signed his new deal and Abe was left out in the cold.
