Broncos match Dolphins offer to CJ Anderson! Glad to see he'll remain a Bronco, even if the price is steep in the first year.

Oh man, now who the hell is going to carry the rock for Miami? Not sure Ajayi can handle it by himself. Hopefully they will draft somebody good, because I don't think there's anybody decent left in the free agent pool, is there?

It's good that the Pats are around to give so many of these long-suffering players a chance to be on a contender.

I played a pickup game of basketball with Martellus on my team once. Dude can play ball; that's for sure.

Super talented out of college but kind of a head case from what I hear. Perfect for the Pats. Another nice move.

Great... he is going to cash in on that half-season of halfway-decent numbers he put up for the Cards, and then fall apart.

Interesting video - I guess I was expecting a parody piece or something extremely biased and it wound up being pretty balanced. He sure did generate some exciting plays. I think he'd be an exciting player to watch if he could just get it together.

This is why I hate Twitter as a news source. If (big if) RGIII gets the $22 million, he's hit every performance incentive in the contract. His base salary is $3.5 million with about another $3.25 million in a signing bonus. That's far more reasonable, it's on the high end of backups, but not outlandish.

Trust me, I don't like the signing, just clarifying that the Browns didn't really give RG3 $22 million without some sort of "prove it" clauses. Most NFL backups are in the $4-5 million range, so, while $6 and change is on the high end of that, it's still fairly in line with backup money. Plus, the Browns can cut him next year and have no real penalties for it.
