TERRY HAS SIGNED HIS EXTENSION!!!!!
FINALLY!!!!! Longgggg, long time coming. What a frustrating ass offseason it's been. The Commanders said they weren't going to even entertain trading him, and every report said he wanted in the ballpark of $40 million per season. Every day it was "the two sides aren't even close". Shit, even this morning Schefter reported that there had been no progress made between the two sides...and then not 2 hours later Terry was extended. So maybe we didn't get the full story...but who cares, he's back!
It sucks Terry took zero reps all off-season and now needs to ramp up with zero preseason games remaining. Yeah he's a vet and camp isn't as important now but you still want your WR1 getting reps in with your QB1. But ok regardless, let's focus on the positive- Scary Terry is BACK!
I'm curious how this finally got done. My gut instinct is Terry got advice from actual adults- vets in the room like Bobby Wagner and other folks around the league and got more involved in the negotiations. He finally told Buddy Baker to cut the shit and get this done. So let me be clear- Buddy Baker is NOT OFF THE HOOK for his malpractice this offseason! It's still fuck Buddy Baker!
I'm glad it all worked out in the end, obviously. And now we see if Terry can prove everyone wrong and continue to operate at a high level despite turning 30 in a few weeks. That was always the biggest hang up, the fact a 30 year old WR wanted a huge contract. Well he got it, so now it's time to prove the naysayers wrong.
2 weeks til week 1, I can't wait. Super Bowl, BACK ON!
