OCNNBREAKINGNEWS: Jermaine Gresham, our 1st round pick, has agreed to terms and will be in camp tomorrow.

Deal is more than what was slotted too, wierd, someone wrote a comment on PFT somehthing to the effect of "Whatever happened to Mike Brown, i don't care, I like his replacement, please keep him!" What parallel universe are we living in? Minimal holdout, paid good money ABOVE hwat he would have been "slotted" to make? Strange indeed.

CurseofBo I agree, very strange indeed. The moves made and money paid out this offseason are very uncharactersitic...
Clearly we wanted this guy in camp ASAP- didn't want to risk a setback with the current positive momentum.

Do you think Mike Brown is doing this to win a Super Bowl or Mike Brown is doing this for the good publicity. The worst thing possible is that Mike Brown is doing this to attract other cities to move the team.....WHAAAHAAA
