Some fans have the unrealistic goal of having everyone on the roster on sweetheart cap friendly deals. That isn't realistic. Brouwer makes market value for an UFA. Certainly I think we'll be getting more out of his 4.5 million next year than we were out of Hudler at 4, Jones at 4, Wideman at 5.5 and Raymond at 3. If you compare what he brings to other UFAs his deal is perfectly reasonable.

Pretty shocked at all he negative reaction. Some people just aren't going to like any contract a veteran UFA signs but not signing any of them ever isn't very realistic.
