Apparently it's a 1 year deal with only 500k guaranteed; the contract can be worth as much as 3M.
If that is true....come on, Snisher. What are you doing? Do you even plan on upgrading the offence? Or is the plan just to say it needs improvement.... and then take no steps to actual remedy the situation?
I am not saying Randle is the answer to all of our problems but he has proven he can at least post respectable numbers at the NFL level, is a big target, definitely has talent, and was well regarded coming out of college. You can't tell me he wouldn't have been a better addition to this WR corps than Brian Quick. Who, by the way, has done way less than Randle has in the NFL to date, was taken in the same round of the same draft year, and has a much more troubling injury history. Quick's shoulder injury last year was career threatening, and yet some people here are making a fuss about Randle's tendinitis?! Unbelievable.
Maybe Randle didn't want to come to LA. If so, fair enough. But if that was the market for him - 1 year deal, worth up to 3M, with 500k guaranteed - we missed the boat on this one. Apparently, Brain freakin' Quick was worth 1M more in guaranteed money (with a higher maximum value at 3.75M, to boot). Just nuts. And I'm actually somewhat of a Quick fan. But there is no way anyone can convincingly argue he is better than Randle at this point.
