I'm still struggling to understand how a rookie contract would be nearly as much as what Mathis wants.

I'm still struggling to understand how a rookie wouldn't be 10 years younger than this overpaid fat ass.

Earlyish.....we don't have a 2nd. I don't consider a 3rd rounder earlyish.

A rookie contract is fully guaranteed. A veteran contract leaves you room to cut him and get out of the deal while saving money.

Younger? Sure. Better? Not a guarantee.
