Not surprised, as it was a no-brainer. Would have been livid if he weren't re-signed.
I am a big Friedman fan but he was off base on this one. Understandable that he brought the issue up, and yes it was odd that it went this long.
But Friedman was talking about it again on 960 this morning and, though he didn't have anything to report, he was going pretty hard on the 'where there's smoke' angle. So was the 960 crew. They all felt that there is a real problem in the organization.
Considering this deal was finalized mere hours later, that would suggest that Friedman was not at all in the know on this one.
