Larry is lucky he made it through 2006 unscathed...think he would have gotten a huge payday this offseason after breaking his foot?

Yeah, because the $9M he'd be getting paid for 2008 under the tag is chump change.
He could also lose a big chunk of his value by slipping into old habits again, or posting 7.5 sacks like he did in 2006.
Trust me, he's not worried about injury nearly as much as losing his payday over an average 2008 performance or falling off the wagon.
