Comments:
Holy crap! $6 million for Edwards. I wasn't even in the ballpark!
 
Yeah, some players apparently work on the 'greatest fool' theory int hat there'll be SOMEONE to pay an extraordinary amount. I like to think it bites them in the end.
 
There are some players worth giving a "shock and awe" contract to. Edwards is not one of those players, in my opinion.
 
I don't necessarily disagree, but I'd rather pay a lot of money to a mediocre player than see it go to waste because of the $10 million cash cap.
 
All the Piggy smells is your fear.

The Piggy must make it clear that he does not have one contract in the top 25. Besides he took a pay cut and he can hit and field.

The Piggy can afford one player like him and it is not like the Market was overflowing with talent.
