Well, there hasn't been a whole lot else to talk about.....

I am happy we got him, despite his age. As chuck stated, I'd take an 85% Ed Reed for 2 years over Quin for 2 years, and hope we hit on his eventual replacement in this years draft.

I will be even happier if the initial numbers hold up, and his guarrantee is "only" around $7MMish. I've seen later reports of 3 years max of $16MM, but that could be agent fluff to help close/save face. We shall see today I would imagine.
