thats an average contract these last couple of FA years....there isnt many DBs this year....same reason the raiders slightly overpaid Javon Walker and Tommy Kelly....the postions were thin and more then a few teams had a need at the spot....like chree said its simple supply and demand...YOU gotta figure that out!!
go ahead and act like it makes a difference what you say next time....but the numbers DONT lie...he is a terrible corner and a HAS BEEN before he was on the raiders

Like we've said time and again when it comes to these big-money contracts, the number that gets reported carries a lot of fluff aimed at making the deal look better, presumably to help the agent leverage the transaction into attracting further clients.
In the case of the contract signed on Friday by defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth with the Redskins, the headlines regarding a seven-year, $100 million deal with a maximum value of $115 million sound a lot better than something like, say, four years and $48 million.
But Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that, in reality, the contract is worth $48 million over four years.
In the fifth year of the deal, Haynesworth is due to receive a whopping $29 million in salary and bonuses. And since he'll be 32 when the 2013 season begins, the Redskins likely won't pay those amounts.
Still, $41 million of the $48 million is genuinely guaranteed, which is the true significance of the contract. Moving forward, look for a greater percentage of the actual base value of these contracts to represent guaranteed money.

Well the Skins wasn't really that far from Eagles (beat them twice) or Cowboys (split games), they did however have trouble with the Giants. I still would think the Giants would have the best team, however with them losing their D coordinator it kinda evens things out. Year to year it all depends on the play off the offense and Jason Campbell. With the NFL these days, there aren't any teams that can't be beat, you just gotta get hot at the right time and be healthy enough.
