Sounds like they are interested in trying to bring him back under a new deal. If not his pay would of meant a $7 million against the cap. Not uncommon for them to try this. Willie had a great season last year and several other teams are interested in him. We will see if after 12 years here, he takes the hometown discount or he uproots his family to parts unknown for a bigger paycheck.

this was a move that was gonna happen as soon as the new deal issue got resolved. its not a surprise they were not gonna pay him the roster bonus and have him count 7+ towards the cap. they will try and bring him in under a new contract but with the year he had i wont be surprised if cleveland throws some large cash his way considering how much cap space they have

Not anymore, time have changed, it's all about the money. Not just in sports either. The majority of mankind in general wants to be paid more. |

I installed his DSL line this past season. It was the day after the Oakland game, he was there, as well as his dad. They were really great, his old man loves New England. I sat with him in his kitchen for awhile setting up his computer , and talking with both of them. I have a feeling he will sign a new contract here.
