$40 million up front? Holy crap!

 

They don't call it serious dough for nothing. I can't wait to see the outline of his contract. I wouldn't be surprised if it trumps Albert Haynesworth's $100M deal he received last spring.

 

Yeah, i'm looking foward to seeing the final numbers of this contract once a deal is finalized.

 

Not all at once right now, over the first 3 years. Still a lot of money but hey the Bears can afford it. :icon_cheesygrin:
