Macklin signing

[CupidStunt]

That had to be the case Thursday when Gibbs, head coach of the Washington Redskins, talked Cardinals cornerback David Macklin into accepting a one-year deal with the Redskins over three more lucrative deals with other teams. Macklin agreed to a one-year, $760,000 deal Thursday.

The Chiefs, Eagles and Saints had better financial offers on the table, but Macklin agreed to fit within the Redskins' cap restraints and accept a deal for the NFL minimum, along with a $40,000 signing bonus. The Chiefs were offering him two years of security.


We didn't miss much. Surprised at his decision, though.

I guess I don't understand this at all.

I just read he grew up a Redskins fan.

Are players ever smart enough to factor in cost of living? Why would take a lesser deal to live in a much more expensive city?

because not everything is about money...especially to a guy who probably has a couple of million in the bank.
