Absolutely not. Getting a backup for 5 mil is excellent.

Whatcha mean?"
And I’m far from a football coach so I am going to trust the football guys on this one. I just haven’t seen enough of him in real game action to feel confident that he could come in if Caleb gets injured and keep the train rolling. His stats from the 5 games he played in 23 aren’t that good. But again, I trust Johnson and at 5 mil it’s a steal. Many fans (not saying anyone here) have him a bit better than he might be, as the back up man is always the most popular guy.  Previous Message He showed his rookie season he was already one of the top backups in the league. And clearly they’re doing this because their new offensive minded head coach is fond of him. Were you going to let him walk or pay him $5MM next year?  Previous Message I like the guy, don’t get me wrong and I’m thrilled he got paid but the legend is amazing.  Previous Message Quite a success story for him, and a good UDFA pickup by Poles.  Previous Message Trade Burden, Kmet, a LB, and next years #1 for Parsons. Or whatever it takes.
