    Yea... But the structure of it at least prevented it from being an absolute killer.

    At the time, I expected Oher to be an average RT, so I didn't mind the signing. I thought there was no way he'd be worse than the 2013 Stewart. Well, he was even worse, so I stand corrected.

    Still paid him too much.


    When Oher was drafted- I said "If it werent for his story- no one would draft him"

    Looks pretty accurate now.

    He can thank that mediocre film for his NFL career.

    I had said the same thing earlier this year. We would have been better off just to let Stewart play one more year than signing Oher.

    And I remember you saying that, and I agreed.

    He was drafted way too early, and it had a lot to due with his size and story rather than his performance on the field.

    Yes, we paid him too much, but teams have to spend what 90% of the salary cap? Sometimes you have to overpay. He should be thankful we gave him $6mil for a year.

    It still wasn't a bad signing.

    We needed a RT, he WAS the best available, and had an outside shot at being decent for us. The contract was set up to dump him after the year incase he played poorly.

    Also we didn't have Lewan at the time of the signing, so there's that.

    I'm a Webster hater, but the Oher contract isn't one I'm going to get worked up over.

    Anyone that signs Oher for more than a room with a bed is overpaying and shouldn't be making decisions.
