We paid a premium because we didnt make a long term investment. Basically we want him for 1 year, MAYBE a second whilst we groom a young QB, and the cost of getting him to agree to such a deal is over paying him.
As long as we come out of these two years with a young franchise QB, it will be money well spent
I think short term deal or not... they really paid what they paid because they didn't want him to hit free agency... With the strong demand for QB's it would have been even more expensive to get into a bidding war for him.
