    Well, we knew it wasn't going to be a drop in the bucket. Still, it's pretty good in terms of annual average when compared to the nonsense deal that the Raiders gave to Osemele. This is the market value for an all pro guard, and I'm glad we got it done.

    Of course, we will need to see the structure to get the full story.

    That is even a very reasonable signing bonus on a percentage basis. This tells me DD and his agent negotiated in good faith and didn't try to hold a gun to the Steelers heads. I see class in that.

    Yeah, I was expecting 11 mil/year. Just glad it`s done.

    Article I just saw says $58 mil for 6 years.

    What do you have against Pouncey? He had the back of his legs rolled up on twice and got injured, not his fault.

    Is someone talking about Pouncey? I don't follow.

    Edit: Never mind, I just realized you must have been quoting someone I have on my ignore list?

    Good. Better ofd keeping those interior guys as long as possible. Said position is seldom to come by in the draft.

    Oh I'm sure we'll see the structure and then re-see it and then re-re-see it again. Hasn't that been the case with most of our big contracts lately?
