Jason McCourty Re-signed Through 2017

Regarding Mccourty, I think it's a great deal. He always goes against the #1 WR and does a very good job. He's a great tackler too, which I love.

I'm ecstatic about this deal.

 

Great news! McCourty has played his @$$ off and deserves the big payday. Considering the deal we gave Griffin and the deal that Finnegan got in STL, this sounds like a good deal for both sides.

Also great news to see that we're looking to lock up Cook. Hopefully Bironas will be right after that, best kicker we've had since the great Al Del Greco.

 

Lol you guys have got to start understanding the difference between re-signed and resigned. I am glad they locked him up and 7.3 million/yr. is fair for him I believe.

 

Who was it yesterday saying we didn't sign out guys?

 

I hope Cook is next!

 

Yeah. McCourty can go on about his business as usual, and we don't have to deal with any holdout drama. Why can't it always be this easy?

 

Glad to see the FO is locking young talented players up! Why can't it always be this way!

 

If McCourty continues to progress like he did last year then this is a great deal for us.

And if Cook plays the first half of this season like he finished last year we should re-sign him during the season don't wait til off season, he'll want more money.

Wow...we could have signed Finnegan for 5 years 50 mil, but instead we save 1 mil more a season for a guy that will never be anywhere near the player Finne is...not stoked about this...I thought I was gonna see 5 years 30 million or close to that.
