Totally unexpected but exciting news! JT got paid handsomely. I've got a feeling that next season will bring some re-structures or extensions as well as possible release of Shaq.

Smith eventually came back in Week 3, won the NFL MVP in spite of missing those first 2 games, and the Cowboys went on to win the Super Bowl that year.

Gotta be honest, I did not see this coming.
That said, I’m glad it got done, provided JT is the guy he’s always been. My issue was never with Taylor, it was with the way he went about trying to get his extension. |

Crazy that the saga ended so abruptly. Overall probably a good thing, but agree w/ Chromeburn and a couple of others that this could set a bad precedent. MPJ is probably pretty pissed off right now.

My expectations for Taylor at this point will be perfection. I’m glad he’s taken care of. |

So nobody (writers) knew shit yet they all wrote tons as if they were not just pulling it out of their asses. Ballard definitely has a philosophy and follows it. JT did what he had to and played the press beautifully in his press conference. I like that they paid him before he played a game. The man has pride and nothing is gained by making it obvious that you hold all the cards and are the boss. Steichen also deserves not to have to deal with this shit continuing and has made clear that JT fits any offense. Good day to be a Colt fan.

True. Although Pitt is by far our best player at a much more valued position, and he's handled his contract situation like a true professional instead of like a whiny, douchebag, bitch like JT did.
