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?

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.
