Awesome. Keeping Gio is huge for us.

It also means that we can start focusing on Zeitler's extension.

Pretty amazing. A year ago people were wondering if he would get traded after the year Hill had in 2014. Aren't we glad he didn't?

Nice. Good for Gio.

[GreenCornBengal]

Best news of the entire offseason in my opinion. I have had nightmares of Gio running wild in a different uniform. I don't want to see that.. ever.

Amen to that

You have to feel really good about this. Quality guy and a very good player.

[Mike M (the other one)]

I like it, keep them coming.

Love it; Hope we get Hill done to!

[*pally*]

he's still young and 3 more years only puts him at 28. Its a good deal for both team and player.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Damn good deal to get him for the rest of his prime RB years. Glad they got that done.

[Atomic Orange]

Gio ..get yourself a nice newer used van.

[Joelist]

Nice! Keep a quality player and at a good price, so we still have the money to work on Big Z.

Very happy about this.  Well deserved.

[Shake n Blake]

PFT says he's being paid like a top 10 back. The average salary is a little high, IMO, but I'd rather Gio make 5-6 million per than lose him. He's definitely been a key offensive player for us. So even though I think it's a little high, I'm still happy with the news. An extra 1-2 million isn't a huge problem.

Three year "extension" means we now have him locked up for four more years, correct?
