Katie Blackburns moment in spotlight.

[Joelist]

We should also remember that it was after Katie completely took over doing player contracts that we both started doing much better at retaining our top players and at paying well while staying in great cap position. For example, while front loaded deals were not invented by her she uses them very systematically and seems to decline on doing backloaded deals. End result is while the deal seems smaller to the media the player actually gets more because the backloaded deal does not put the team under pressure to get out of its closing years.
