“Sure, Bobby, whatever makes you happy. Small bills, ok? Do you have an offshore account we could direct deposit this in right this minute? Perhaps you’d accept an open-ended hedge fund for your troubles. One thing’s for certain is that we’d definitely feel better if we were able to lock you up. You’re a big part of this team’s future. 35 year old WR’s who’ve had one monster year preceded by five or six injury riddled campaigns don’t come on the market too often.”

I am probably at least partly to blame for this. Don’t forget how the Vikings swindled us with all the Steve Hutchinson poison pill contract language. The ‘Hawks then signed me at an attempt to be spiteful, but now it just looks like a terrible knee-jerk reaction. Do you know the Vikes got a third round compensation pick for me, but we got nothing for Hutchinson leaving?

Hold up a minute, Nate. Remember all the bitching I did in order to leave the Patriots? (polishes Super Bowl MVP trophy) Now I have the 8th highest cap figure amongst NFL wideouts. That type of money will buy you 102 catches, 1386 yards, and 8 tds over TWO seasons. I don’t feel bad though, they probably make that money back with sales of those really cool green receiver gloves I wear alone.
