Losman-McGahee-Evans Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I have to say I have no clue what TD is working on.

VABills Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Plus they resigned Verba. Looks like the Browns may do some running this year with 2 solid guards. BTW Andruzzi was only 4 years 9 million. Damn we could have afforded that.

Damn we could have afforded that. 259546[/snapback] That contract suprises you? havent many people here been saying that 2-3 mill per is all you need to lock up a top notch G? I know I have.

I know I have. 259574[/snapback] 3 million yes. But that is barely over 2. Andruzzi is one of the better guards available. It is a little low by about 500K per year IMHO.
Larry Playfair Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 nice. we can play in that market for sure!!! reports were saying the the two GB guards could fetch 10 mil signing bonuses. I'm happy to see some reasonable numbers.

But, as stated, if great guards like Andruzzi are going at a rate this low, we should be fine at getting that LG upgrade.
VABills Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Wahle will probably go a little higher, but guys like Bennie Anderson will now go cheaper. Anderson is one of the guys I would love to see TD sign.
