Again, it is not often you see 2 of the top FA pass rushers sign for $20M total.

Kruger alone got $20M in guarantees.

It was just shocking to see 2 of the top FA pass rushers sign for what I thought was dirt cheap, to a team written in as the paper SB champs for 2013 (before the additions of Avril and Bennett).
Wtf, players take less money to make a run at a championship literally all the time. There is an article on BR.com right now talking about how Dumervil and Huff both left money on the table because they felt the Ravens gave them the best shot at winning. You could play for the vet minimum for a shot at the SB if thats what you wanted.
