Re: All Things Denver XXXIII
I believe the original ten-year deal was signed in 2002 and then was renegotiated/bumped-up in 2004 after the Natty.
Reportedly the contract featured a large annuity that comes due after the 10th year or conclusion of the contract. It was designed that way so that he wouldn't be tempted to jump ship if a job like Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan State opened up. Turned out to be a smart deal on DUs part.
And like any 10 year contract in sports, the deal looks pretty one sided in today's dollars.
