Trust me - I'd LOVE to be wrong. If we could land Richie Incognito AND Jahri Evans with our current restraints, I'd be dancing in the streets!
Going into today, a good offer was thought to be in the 4.5 range or so. Osemele just signed for 11.7 a year. Richie is much older, yes. But he played at a Pro Bowl level last year.
All agents base their deals on the latest handed out by position. Even asking for half of Osemele's deal is close to 6 million a year.
EDIT: So he signed for $5 mil a year. He must not have had as big of a market as I feared/he hoped.
