What I'd like to pay Ryan would put him above Vick, but below Manning.

Imagine what ole Mr Drysdale could do with all that money in the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills! He went plum crazy over Jeds $35 million............

I'd like to see them get Ryan in the 6 or 7 year range at somewhere around $16 to $16.5 million. But I'm with some of you that think they'll take a wait and see attitude for Flacco's deal.
