You have done everything right so far, love the Cheeks move; How about 3 yrs., declining value at 10, 9, and 8 million. Worst case in year 3 he mentors the future p.g. we draft in the next 2 years.

I hope Charles Barkley does attend one of those ceremonies, otherwise it would be "turrible".  Charles is fun to watch and listen to!!  Philly fans still love him!! What I am serious about is having a post for all things Philadelphia (things that represent the true positive spirit of Brotherly Love:  October 27th, the city's 326th Birthday!!)  Wouldn't that be awesome if we do that?
