Did anyone else find it funny that Rosenhaus considers the Giants "close to Madison's home in South Florida"? I know it is a quick flight, but nothing I would consider close.

So, he get a $2M signing bonus with a yearly base salary of

$900,000 in 2006,
$1.2 million in 2007
$1.5 million in 2008
$1.8 million in 2009

There are some incentives as well, but they are pretty small (no more than 250K per year).  This seems like a pretty good value for the Giants.  At 32, you wouldn't think he would play the full 4 years, but even if you only get 2 years at 2M a year (when you figure in the bonus), that doesn't sound bad.  What was he due to make with Miami?

Yeah, I also watch Sports Extra, and I also saw Drew Rosenhaus all but say Madison would end up a Giant.

Pity that Madison's gone.  I wished he'd retire a Dolphin...

Looks like Sam had to take a pretty big pay cut.  His 2006 salary would have been 3.4 million plus another 2.8 million in bonus money.   I wonder if there was much of an attempt to restructure or redo his contract?  I like Madison, but he's not worth 6.3 million against the cap.

It seemed like he was pretty adamant about not wanting to restructure.  Which, to me, says "I don't wanna play in Miami anymore"...

When Jason Taylor hogs up damn near 13 million, it's hard to restructure anyone's contract.
