Wow! So since they won't be cutting him anytime soon (you've got to give him a few years or you get fired) and it's tough not to get "minimum playing time", he's pretty much guaranteed $70MM without having played a single down of NFL football. Holy crap!
Aaron Curry literally said he'll take less than what Jake Long got to play with them. You draft a player like that, especially with his high upsiide. I don't understand this franchise.
The value just wasnt there with Curry. I see your point, but its essential you nail the critical spots and Curry doesnt play at one.
