8 years $60M. It was suprising to me then, as I thought it was a bit low. I honestly believe he made the deal in good faith in order to sign Schaub. Dre knew that Houston needed a QB to win. Although he has only played out 3 years now is prime time for him to get paid like the #1 reciever in football.
I do, however, think that some of this is his uncle pressuring him into doing something that he possibly wouldnt do.
At the end of the day this is business, and not in the cliche. We do it everyday at work; hustle for the best deals, pay, etc. It just so happens Dre is a one man company trying to capitalize on the market and product.
