Philadelphia never was a real spot for former Saints center LeCharles Bentley. He was looking to go to his hometown of Cleveland all along.
His contract hit the lottery, though. He signed a six-year, $36 million deal that includes $12 million in first-year money. Bentley gets an $11 million signing bonus and a $350,000 roster bonus to go along with his $650,000 base.
He'll make $19 million over the first three years of the deal in a deal.

I'm sorry, but $12 million in 1st year money, and $19 million in the first 3 years? That's insane for a center.
