Yeah, this was one of those contracts that people were citing as a reason why Dorsey should be fired and I never understood that.
If he signs a guy early like LDT - "DORSEY SHOULD BE FIRED! HE OVERPAID FOR POTENTIAL!!!"
If he makes a guy prove it like Houston - "DORSEY SHOULD HAVE LOCKED HOUSTON UP EARLY - HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!!"
LDT is a good player and good players cost money. You watch teams like the Giants and Packers go out there and get their QB run off the field then suddenly you realize that perhaps a good young OL is worth spending a few bucks to retain, especially when they're a relatively cohesive unit. There's virtually always sticker shock on these deals (let us all not forget that Ron Parker freak-out). But there are 32 teams out there and a bunch of agents that have a damn good feel for what their clients can get from those teams.
In the era of exploding salary caps, virtually everyone is going to be more expensive than what the average fan thinks is reasonable.
