The only thing he might do for them right now is being a ticket draw. Big reason they might be hanging on to him as well.

They used a first round pick and I think another pick they traded away to get him. They want to get the most they can out of him, whether that's as a backup trying to learn the system or a starter.

1st round picks man.. and bad ones that come back to bite you in the butt. He's actually worth more than that with incentives.

they could easily give him 5 and send him on his way. i'm sure he wouldn't mind. hell, if Rex Grossman can land a starting job, Tebow can.

They have to give him 8.5 in the contract.. which is 3 years. He's still a year away.

They can cut him anytime they want. They'll just have to pay him whatever the contract stipulates in that situation.

$11.25 million / 5 = 2.25 million a year

2.25 million x 4 = 9 million - I messed up on the years, it should have been 4 not 3, but they can let him go during the 4th year.

ETA - They don't have to wait that long - they can just pay him the rest of the 8.7 at this point, but why not use him for as long as possible instead of just paying him off..?

Tell her to come home with you tonight, easy fix.










Tell her she has to be quiet though, cause too much moaning will wake your mom up.

Yeah, but they might just end up getting rid of him earlier than that if it doesn't work out. They might want to help with caproom or something. Honestly, what they are paying him isn't all that much money relatively speaking. It's like they're paying a backup 2-3 mil a year, which is no worse than the Eagles paying Vince Young to be their backup for $5 mil a year.

I want you to get in trouble at work, by breaking all kinds of rules that HR writes, by breaking them with someone from HR!

I know that this thread has pretty much become a chat room but I have looking at all news related to arkham city yesterday.

I saw that it will feature a new game + mode. I have no idea what that it is.

Can someone explain it to me like I'm a six year old. Tried to read the articles, but they were either too vague or too complicated.

BTW I donated blood today and got a free tshirt. feel good about myself, you should do it, save somebody's life.
