Looks to me as if the deal is all but done. No way does he make a statement like that without being sure he will not eat his words.

A true ego maniac. Sadly, he could totally miss the season and reenact the movie "The Three Amigos" with his coach and former defensive coordinator.
the deal is done, its been done since vitt started saying he was very confident drew would be in training camp. not exactly sure what it is but there is a reason they are dragging this out. If i had to guess its something to do with the bounty and the suspensions.
Well yeah; they are still waiting on some of the bounty money to be returned so they can write the check!Quote:

The deal will be done around then. There is no incentive to have a deal done before as neither side has any motivation to get a deal done before hand.Quote:

Or maybe it isn't
I sure hope he does not sit out! I think it will all workout soon and this team will certainly have something to prove! What a special season this could be! Who else in the NFL, NBA, or MLB have ever won a World Championship without their Head Coach?
