That is a good approach, i agree. There is really nothing else Shanahan could have done. I suppose he was smart to not ink him to a big deal, like we've done in the past.
This makes me think of when Joe Gibbs traded for Mark Brunell in 2004, and then signed him to a 7 year contract. Given Brunell's age at the time (34, IIRC), why in the world did he sign him for that long of a deal at that money??
