These early deals always look crazy, but they end up working out for the team more times than not.

Oh, I think this is an extremely fair deal for an ascending player.

This is one of those situations where someone is getting paid on the valid expectation of future improvement/performance instead of past deeds. These kinds of deals are never as exciting to fans as signing someone who was a big-time player 5-10 years ago, but absolutely this was a good deal worth the risk and, if Fisher continues to improve, it's a great deal for the team.

I hated Fisher early in his career because he sucked early in his career. That wasn't the case last year. Glad for the guy.

I always like these deals alot. When you do them this way, theres still a possibility of getting more value than you're paying for, if the guy keeps getting better.

In deals like Houston and what Berry is wanting, you're hoping they perform up to the deal money and aren't likely to get any added value.

Are you guys ****ing kidding me? its like nobody watched the NFL last year. Denver's success is entirely built on the pass rush. Oakland has an elite rusher.

Dorsey has found 4 good safeties off the scrap heap to play well.

Come on. This was a good move.

Well, to be fair, Oaklands elite rusher had his way with this LT quite a bit last year.

Luckily, fisher seems to handle Denvers pretty well.
