[VAIDER5120]

WTF. That''s crazy. WOW!!

[DolphinsFreak]

Is this a real report or the fake one that came from a bogus account with his name on it?

[VAIDER5120]

ESPN just said they couldnt confirm OV to Jags after they bashed the Dolphins for well being the Dolphins

[cuchulainn]

Argh... gdmmit... looks like ESpin jumped the gun. False report attributed to Glazer.

For Olivier Vernon and the #Giants, I'm told it's the biggest defensive end deal in history with the most guaranteed money

Whopper of a deal....

Adam Schefter added,
Peter King @SI_PeterKing Olivier Vernon: 5 years, $85 million, $52.5m guaranteed.

Damn!!! Good luck to them. I hope they like personal fouls that give the other team a 1st down on 3rd and long.

[cuchulainn]

Crazy... that more than some QBs... Osweiler got jobbed. lol...

[DolphinsFreak]

Wow! He almost got as much as the prank Twitter guy was JOKING about. They will find out real quick he isn't worth anywhere near that much. The Dolphins will still somehow be the butt of all offseason jokes.

[cuchulainn]

NFLN reported that the Jags were serious with that offer, but the Giants swooped in and scooped him. Go figure.

[VAIDER5120]

This is crazy. Good for OV but WOW!

  Breakdown of monster deal for DE Olivier Vernon: 5 yrs, $85.5M, 52M guarantee, $40M FULL guarantee. Largest deal ever for a DE, passing Watt

That is some seriously crazy money for a guy who benefited from playing with a stud DL, including Wake and Suh his entire career.

Jags drove the price up and Giants jumped into the fray and overpaid IMO.

[Phinatic514]

This is beyond ridiculous. We would be totally stupid to pay that tab. Calling it now: Wake will have more sacks then Vernon. If I had to choose one or the other, it's Wake hands down.
