    If an NFL player signs a contract and expects to get anything beyond the signing bonus is an idiot.

    Everyone, EVERYONE, knows contracts are not guaranteed.

    I thought you were going to say since he was murdered we haven't made the playoffs or something... like the supposed terrible towel curse.

    I don't believe in stuff like that. We suck on our on merit.

    If there's any curse... it's the curse of Albert Haynesworth (or Jim Schwartz). We go from having an elite defense with him in 2007-2008 to having horrible defenses year in and year out.

    Obviously I'm glad we let him walk because he was only playing to get that contract. Just saying... things definitely haven't been the same without him.

    And Schwartz took a HC job, so there was no chance at keeping him.

    I'd sign it... but I'd know better than think I'd be getting that bonus for sure.

    Floyd Reese is on Record saying he would put whatever $ in the final year of the contract to make it more appealing., knowing that they would either have to restructure or cut the player.

    Oh yeah I'm not pardoning him from any fault. It was just a horrible situation all around. That sh!+ hurt my heart at the time. I was sure he'd get to retire a Titan and it sucks he didn't. Same for Eddie.

    The worse part is he remained effective in Baltimore.

    The curse started before McNair. Even he wasn't even that good. Yeah he was tough, blah blah blah. But as far as doing what a quarterback is supposed to do, which is throw touchdowns and not interceptions, he had one great season: 2003 (24 TD - 7 INT). The rest were a mix of pretty good and mediocre.
