Those numbers have been there awhile Brian

but I haven’t seen any other evidence ie, db.com so I think he is still unsigned.

Finally

Perrish Cox should be next, followed by Decker, Walton, Beadles, Tebow, and Thomas. I’m glad they’re getting the ball rolling and that Doom is getting his well-deserved extension!!!

Cox signed in June.

Decker, Thomas, Beadles and Tebow are the last ones.

If the Olsen report is accurate.

I see no problem

There may be agreement in principle pending league approval or some other technical holdup but it appears that Olsen & agent have accepted the offered terms.

I don’t consider contract negotiations particularly interesting but I’m glad to see negotiations are over. BTW — the team is the party that has an interest in holding up negotiations, although there are some instances in which minor differences delay reaching a contract. I think there’s a slight tendency to blame the agent/player for these delays but it’s in the team’s interest to wait. The team’s incentive is that it keeps the money longer (thus interest), and there’s also a belief that it keeps players out of trouble.

no goats, no glory.
