Murphy way more in line with what I would have paid. Very pleased we didn’t give him franchise type dollars. Excellent. Same with Allen.
FA master class.

Couple contracts still not accounted for, but if they’re constructed like the others (and why wouldn’t they be) I’d say we aren’t done shopping.
Giggity

Byron Murphy has $12 million of incentives in his $66 million deal with the #Vikings, and they'll be tough to hit: He needs 7 interceptions for a $500K incentive, and 9 picks for a $1M incentive, each year of the deal.

These kinds of incentive laden deals are so smart because if they get injured, it mitigates the spend. And everyone is rooting for them to hit every single incentive possible.

I am just going out on a limb here.. Probably going to guess that Brzezinski had a lot to do with it. I mean IDK, just a damn guess.
