The New England Patriots and outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain finalized a contract Friday that will keep the team's top pass rusher in the fold for the next three seasons. The three-year, $13.5 million contract could increase in total value to $18 million if Banta-Cain reaches certain incentives, according to a source. The deal includes a $6 million signing bonus and a $1 million base salary in 2010, meaning that Banta-Cain will earn $7 million this season. "I was just happy," Banta-Cain told the media after the deal was announced. "It was a long day, and it's been a long process to get it done. I'm just relieved really. Now I can just focus on the football part of it.
Oh. That's not right. I guess our pass rush can't get worse? We could've signed Peppers for that problem. What about the secondary? Rolle and Rodgers-Crumblefumble are off the market. Receivers aren't a problem though because we signed David Patten a couple weeks ago. Soooo that's goood....
