Outstanding news in my opinion. Not sure why Irsay always has to tie the GM and head coach together on this sort of thing, but not complaining here.

The GM/HC is a partnership. These two work well within the system that has been created by them. They have their egos under control, have figured out the salary cap/ talent spread, and no one has heard any internal bitching. Everything stays in house. They are partners, and are being rewarded for both their efforts in a common goal. You wont hear Reich bitching about choosing the groceries, he has a voice in the process.
