Not the deal so much (that I thought was a good move) but the 3 reneg which tied him up for 3190 this year and then 3509 next year.

Had I realized how much WR's would be going for (I think last year Holt was the high man with 3,300) I think I might have given more consideration to franchising him.

FWIW, I know the WR #'s are not quite a RB level yet but it seems like the Top 10 WR's are going to be a lot closer to the Top RB's this year. It was 3,800 for the RB's in 2007 and 2639 for the WR's. I am guessing LT and a few of the other RB's will keep the RB # up there but I think the WR number is going to be a lot closer to 3K.

Yep. I am a genius!!

I figured that would happen, so I was more than willing to pull our deal together in order to get the better WR and lock him up for cheaper than I had locked up Torry Holt in 07.

With most talent being locked into rookie deals any talent that hits the open market will cost a ton.
