Not surprising. Gettleman believed in Bradberry so much that he selected a small school kid in the 2nd round.
But make no mistake, $31.9 million in guaranteed money can make an atheist believe in God.
I’m glad Bradberry is here. Very good player.

So we outbid everyone else. Why do we always go to this? It has nothing to do with Dave and every thing to do with Benjamin.

What is Gettleman going to do now that he is here? Wipe his ass? It would make more sense if he had a relationship with the head coach. |

I am 100% certain that if players hated DG and felt he screwed them in the past they would not be entering negotiations with him on the first day possible. If this was 2 weeks into free agency and Bradberry didn't get good enough offers then of course he would take DGs money, but he would not seek DG out at the very start of free agency.

This deal was agreed to before free agency even started

Here is the Bradberry quote that is not in the above linked article for anyone that wants to know.
"It was either between the Lions and New York and I just feel like New York was the better fit for me," Bradberry said Monday during an interview on Radio.com's The Jim Rome Show. "I knew Gettleman, so I know what type of organization he’s trying to build over there and I knew some of the players that were there as well and they had nothing but good things to say about the organization. So I feel like it was the right fit."
So knowing DG, the type of organization he wants to build and knowing some of the players made this decision for him since I am sure Detroit was will to spend big on him as well.

This is a good signing. We now have a vet CB in our defense. Hopefully, him and Baker hit it off and start closing down the long ball!

LOL the only people who don't want to are the ones he has sent packing. Bradberry seems to be another one of DGs solid draft picks. Glad he's here. |

Common sense would suggest that to be true. Bigger contract is bigger a sum of guaranteed money. Bigger insurance policy incase of injury. |

Common sense would suggest that to be true. Bigger contract is bigger a sum of guaranteed money. Bigger insurance policy incase of injury. Common sense would say that the biggest pay check is not always the best deal. Would you work for a man you hate or better yet don't trust because he offers you $29/hr instead of $28/hr? How much is being happy worth? I mean this guy clearly said that other things effected his decision. Now if we offered him $14m a year and Detroit offered him $28m a year I am sure he would have went there, but if we are at 14 and Detroit is at 15 then absolutely other things effect the decision.
I would be happy to change my opinion if we can find quotes of guys saying they simply want the most money but every year we hear guys, like Bradberry this year, say how other things effected their decision. I have no reason to not believe them.

Let me get this straight. I don't work for 29 dollars an hour. That would be insulting to me. You are arguing over a few dollars in this case.. LOL You are actually making my point. Money is the leading factor. If that is not very close . The player will not be there also. |

Not sure where you get that from. Obviously he brought Bradberry in here. He drafted him. He paid him top dollar. |

Unless we know what Detroit was offering, I think its logical to think we outspent them which is why he is here. We arent the Patriots (yet). Players aren't coming here on a discount to win. |

In an interview with Jordan Raanaan, he did say that we offered the most. He went on, however, to point out that the Gettlemen was an important factor as was NYC itself. One aspect of NYC he mentioned specifically was the sheer number of businesses here. The reason why people keep bringing this up is because of the idea that was floating for a while that Gettlemen was a detriment to our getting good people to come here. The reason why I bring up the business side of it is some don't think the endorsement players here will get compared to most other markets are enough to offset the extra taxes. I don't know if they will completely offset but I'm sure they go pretty far. |

Not drafted by him. Not worked with the Panthers with him. I mean, they brought over a few Panthers already. In my understanding it's the bring over the Byron Jones' that wasnt happening. Obviously Beadberry was connected to DG, but what do you want him to say? "Yeah NY offered the most so I went there." They just dont say that unless they are stupid. |
