I'm glad this one extension is done and over with. Now we can focus on Green, Lawson and WJIII next year! All three have big years coming up, as they each have injury concerns but a big year could mean a big pay day for their next contracts.
The Derrick Henry deal is not the same. Derrick was not under contract. They get him for 4 years at $50 Mil. We get Joe 5 years for $49.2 Mil.
