How was it ridiculous? It was backloaded and full of incentives he wont reach (and if he does, he can have the money). The guaranteed part is the only amount that matters.
The Bucs are only going to sign our own players (Joseph, Black, Trueblood, etc.) and then wait until the end of the season to give our current players extensions because we don't have to be at the cap floor until the end of the season.
