re: Let's just get down to who the free agents can be

I am all for players making their money while they are able to play in the league. BUT at a point where you have made almost 200 million (plus endorsements), you and your kids are taken care of for pretty much for life.

If you are nearing the end of your career and would like to win another SB, you may have to make a tough choice. Like I said, I am all for him making his money. BUT the D is still shite and teams do have a salary cap to deal with. If Mickey can put a winner on the field without having to touch Drew's contract.....Great, He is definitely worth the contract.

Drew will go down as the greatest player in the Franchise's history (and it's not even close), and we all love the guy. The only thing that he really rubbed me the wrong way about was in his contract talks in '12. He made comments that he wanted to have a contract that still helped the team to sign standouts (paraphrasing), but at the same time he held out for the biggest contract of the time. Like I said, make your money when you can......but don't lie about wanting to help the team.

That's really the only thing he ever did to frustrate me. He was well worth the contract though
