Works for me.

Good move..

I like it....like a fat kid likes cake.....

How many years would be nice, and the amount of room we have left would be nice too. I like the idea but would have preferred a Winfield extension first. But begger cant be choosers, at least we did something good.

Great move IMO unless of course TD gave him $1.5M/yr. or something stupid like that.

Campbell's one of the few players who's surprised and is the kind of guy you want to sign; he's just entering his prime and is showing a lot, and doesn't have a name yet that you have to pay for.

Great move for a change!

For a change? I thought getting rid of Rob was a good move

He didn't like the 5 year, 5 million extention of AVP?

campbell is a solid player.. and he has a knack for getting crushed..lol.. but he always hangs on to the ball.

I like it. Cleveland fans at the scrimmage told me we'd like this guy. So far they've been right

I meant additions, not subtractions. LOL

Indifferent. It wasn't a team-revolutionizing move or anything. It was paybacks for a backup job well done. I didn't agree with it at the time, but I didn't give it a care either b/c it's not a move that was gonna hurt or help us.

As well, he's only in the second year of that, and we'd need to count 300K per year left on that 5 years against the cap if we were ever to cut him.

Unfortunately I'd say cut him this year, but $900 K is a sizeable number of bucks to leave idle. So when you consider that the bonus was $1.5M and we could really stand to have two new QBs and we'll likely be penned in by that signing, do you still think it's good, assuming you did?

Solid move.

Winfield was always gonna hit the market

No kidding! There's been a couple hits where I was surprised that he got up as fast as he did... much less hang onto the ball!

We won't re-sign Winfield... mark my words.
