re: Herb joins Trey on Team USA practice squad

Just a well-thought-out agreement (of course, it couldn't be worked out ahead of time...before the Pels decided to drop their "team option" on Herb...because well uhhh... that just wouldn't be "right"). Benefits for both sides...by turning down the "team option"...among them, Pels got to adjust "money per year" starting this year, which will be quite helpful in the future and Herb got his guaranteed bag of the additional $52M on top of his $1.8M...& he doesn't have to worry (as far as $$ is concerned, anyway) about blowing out a knee this year.

Solid & fair deal by both sides...imo. It's almost like the guys that put this deal together, do this kinda stuff for a livin'...or something.
