re: Strief Contract Restructured

They don't have to pay him next year either. But they own his rights for two years for cheap and they are going to use the rules to their benefit like every team does.

I don't recall an ERFA ever getting a big payday with any team. They always wait for them to become RFAs before extending/trading them (like the Pats tried to do with Butler).

And don't people complain enoguh because we pay too many of our own players. Now people are going to complain because we aren't going to pay a player a year before we need too?

Snead will get his payday, next year. He will be rewarded. For people to complain because they aren't paying him early is silly. It'll be worked out.
