The big news Friday night, this being a meaningless exhibition game, was the lucrative contract extension signed by Aaron Schobel. No doubt, I wasn’t the only one who had this reaction when the news came that Schobel would get a shade over $50 million over seven years: That’s Thomas Vanek money!
Wherever Vanek is these days, he can take comfort in the fact that he won’t be the only Buffalo athlete trying to justify a mammoth new deal. In the future, we’ll spend hours debating which of these guys was a better $50 million investment. When we tire of it, we can always argue the merits of Derrick Dockery’s $49 million windfall.
Hold on, I think Vince Young just burned the Bills again. No offense to Schobel. He made the Pro Bowl last year. He’s a double-digit sack machine, which is worth a lot of money in today’s NFL (the Colts’ Dwight Freeney recently signed for $12 million a year). Schobel is a better athlete than people give him credit for.
