and dish out $4 mil a year for a 31 year old oft-injured RB who'll be out of the league in less than a year?

 

no thanks. 

That is the attitude that keeps TT from doing much with FA. Smart move in taking the chance by the Eagles.

[Note by Brandon Lee Gowton, 03/14/14 3:48 PM EDT] - PFT reports that the new deal is worth up to $10.5 million over 3 years. For context purposes, that's the same exact contract that the Jaguars gave to former Vikings RB Toby Gerhart. No word on how much guaranteed money for Sproles.


This says $5.5 million guarantee.  http://overthecap.com/player/darren-sproles/1488

That blowout of the Panthers a few weeks ago does not look quite as impressive after tonight's contest.

 

Next Sunday should be quite a contest with 2 high-powered offenses.

 

PS for those minimizing Sproles contributions to the Eagles (on O and STs) did TT make a mistake signing an even older OLBer for even more $ this past offseason?

In this case however it's moot. Philly traded draft picks for Sproles. 

A 5th round pick I believe. Worth it to add some zest to the return game, and a little razzle-dazzle on offense.
