Detroit paid a $9.5 million bonus to get Pats guard Damien Woody. The total deal is six years and close to $30 million. Woody has been better than the guard the Bills signed from Chicago, Chris Villarrial. But Villarrial is solid and the Bills got him for a $3 million bonus and a total of $11.85 million. Is Woody three times better than Villarrial? No way. It was a smart signing by the Bills. Teams can't afford to invest giant dollars in guards, unless it's for someone like Larry Allen in his prime
I agree 100% with this quote. I'm glad we got Villarrial and for a decent sized deal. Yes, Woody is better than him but the price to pay for the little extra talent is not worth it.
