Joe Thomas Signed

[gr8slayer]

Browns agreed to terms with T Joe Thomas, the No. 3 pick overall, on a five-year, $43 million contract. The deal includes $23 million in bonuses.
With Eric Wright also agreeing to a deal, Brady Quinn is the lone Browns draft pick left without a contract. Thomas, a marvelous pass blocker, should be Cleveland's starting left tackle right away. If he progresses quickly, the Browns may consider shopping incumbent LT Kevin Shaffer to the Colts, who recently lost Tarik Glenn to retirement, or re-opening trade talks with the Giants.

It's freaking crazy. He almost got the same deal as Dockery did.

Oh yeah, just to keep the trend going.

Come on MARV and JIM!

Hell, he is getting paid ALOT more than Dock. 23 million in bonuses? Holy smokes. Dockery got a 7 year 49 million deal, Thomas 5 year 43 million deal, 6 million less and 2 seasons less. Looks like we didn't overpay for Dockery at all.

They are apparently getting rid of Shaffer though. Not much for the most important position on the field.

Instead of raising the cap these *******s should have lowered ticket prices. I mean if there is that much of a surplus..
