Awesome. Keeping Gio is huge for us.
It also means that we can start focusing on Zeitler's extension.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

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.

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

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

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

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?
