Well done.

I'm very glad to see this. I think this just about puts the nail in the coffin to the idea that we would use a first day pick for a free safety. We chose instead to go with a servicable FS at what I'm assuming is a reasonable price.

Eugene Wilson is the best safety we have ever suited up. Faint praise, but he has a nose for the ball. If the $ is not crazy (and it should not be) then this is a good signing for us.

I concur, good move, he really seemed to help settle down our defense and make plays like we hadn't seen in safeties for a while.

Schef says $11.3 million. I don't understand the media's infatuation with rounding on the internet. There's plenty of room on the page. Give me ALL OF THE FREAKING DIGITS!!!

ok, rant over. For now.

of course... I did just shorten Schefter to "Schef", so who am I to criticize.
