And near as I can tell, personal friendships are almost as important as the payout. AP is wanting to leave because of disrespect. Murray came to Philly because of Bradford as well as the payday. Johnson went to Indy for a shot at a ring, and has a better chance now than if he stayed in Houston. Kelly's got more ducks on his team than fucking Oregon State does this year. His guys.Sanchez got just enough money to keep him from walking, he's our backup, for better or worse.
Meanwhile, if anybody's noticed they seem to have half a dozen QB's in Philly, and there's no way they snag Murray without rewarding his boy Sam, which leaves Sanchez out in the cold. Think Ryan will make a play for him?
Thanks to free agency at least three teams buried in mediocrity became sudden possible contenders, two teams in Seattle and Indy just got even scarier good, and a couple of perennial almost-there teams just collapsed under the weight of their own spending. I wouldn't call that a waste, but your mileage may vary.
