No kidding. I usually don't mind a player getting as much money as they can, but in Hali's case where he was preaching how he was a Chief for life and wanted to relentlessly pursue a SB, he sure didn't do us many favors with the price tag.

Part of the problem was Julius Peppers getting 10M per year on the open market, so Hali's 7M actually looked cheap. Hindsight, though.
