I think Philly could have had him for less to be honest.
If Philly came to the table with $9M x 7 ... I think he would have taken it over the $9.75M x 7 for Columbus.
You already left $15M on the table...what's $4M more.
I get not wanting to move out JVR with a 1st attached - but I'm sure there were some other things they could have done if they got creative. For starters just don't sign freaking Tony DeAngelo, move JVR with 50% retained and boom I just created $8.5M of cap space right there.
