Crazy money for a safety, unless you're the absolute best in the league and can do it all. Glad Ballard didn't pay this. 

[pacolts56]

That oughta get Earl Thomas paid pretty nicely.

[John Hammonds]

DING!!!  I knew it!  I knew it!

The Redskins are trying to acquire every living Alabama player available.

 

Watch them make a bid for -

C J Mosely

Mark Ingram

Congrats to Landon Collins and Family. 60 Ms' + is a nice pay check. Wait, thats not a 6, thats an 8. 84 + Ms' is marvelous. lol

    Sooo glad it wasn’t the Colts! Paying that kind of money for a guy that isn’t that much better than Geathers in coverage (if at all), would have been foolish.

     If they’re going to get a replacement for Geathers, I hope its through the draft. Saying that, I still think Geathers can be elite, if he stays healthy.

[Scott Pennock]

Wow.....

 

Way too much for him. I'm sure the Colts were in on it, but Ballard pulled out and let him go!

 

On to my guy that I want in Adrian Amos.....

Let the market settle after a few days to a week, and if Geathers is still out there, bringing him back on a lesser deal sounds good to me.

That’s crazy money and he won’t see the end of that contract.  I would be furious if Ballard paid that.  He was obviously chasing the money so congrats to him and enjoy. We can sign him in 5 yrs for cheap to be a veteran leader in the locker room. 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Holy crap a deal

I saw it reported that we were the other finalist along with Washington.  Glad Ballard backed off when the numbers got too high.  Good discipline.  Plenty of safeties on the market this year.

Haven't the Redskins learned their lessons by now on trying to buy a championship?!? Lol have fun with that contract

I literally thought that also..

 

Hey Stacy can you get me Clayton on speaker please... Lol

[ColtsAC]

I know I will get ripped for writing this, but did you honestly expect Ballard to pay big money for any free agent?

  He is following the KC model...you win ten games, that's enough to keep the hopes up, keep us all employed, etc.

  What has Kansas City won in the past 30 years or so? To me, the only hope is the combo of Luck and Reich...not any big ticket additions from the front office.

[Breeze]

Not dissing, but whose model should they follow?  I sort of like the Patriots model for spending.  Also I think the Chiefs model looks a lot better with Mahomes under center.

[MTC]

I would have been perfectly fine with the deal had the Colts signed him to that amount.

You are correct. 

The money part is secondary(within some reason)to getting the player you want/think you need for a Championship.
