Good, now he can shut up about it. Fwiw, he made a reference to it just last week on the radio, when he was on 700.
Big Whit has been in the league long enough to 1.) Know it's a business and 2.) Drafting eventual replacements, as was done with him, is part of the game. Sorry, but for a purported intelligent guy and veteran of the league, I don't think his handling of this situation has been the most professional approach. Although he has struck me as kind of douchey for quite some time.
I'm glad we've got him another year. But I'm even more glad they didn't sign him any longer than that. 9 million for a 33 year old LT is a lot of beans. Good sensible extension though. Length is key.
