i didn't get that from sports extra....

and i also wish he'd sitll be a fin, but hey, that makes my becoming a giants fan instantly more tolerable.  now i have someone to REALLY honestly cheer for, i'm ordering a red Madison jersey as soon as its actually "official"

Damn...Good luck, Sam.

Tony, don't forget to post a pic of that jersey.

Like the orange jerseys eh?  Interested in one of those Seau Jerseys for $9.97?  I've got a coupon for $5 off.

I'm all for being red in a sea of blue. (Sorry...couldn't resist.)

Still, seriously, I like the red jerseys. Thats the one I'd get too.

Just, wear the orange Madison jersey to at least one game for sentimental reasons.

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?

Good analysis. I think this is a solid deal for the Giants, and if this is all Madison can command on the free-agent market, it was probably good for the Dolphins to cut him.

Right now, the orange Madison jerseys are $55.00 but that will go down very soon.

Really dude, if I was getting a Giants' jersey (which I'd sooner poke out my eyeballs with a spoon), I'd get the blue.  They look so much nicer.  The red always look like practice jersies to me.
