Exactly.
He had a great year going into a contract season. They told him we give one more year to prove you can do it again.
He did.
He won.

And now he's paid. No "I, I, I, Me, Me, Me..."
He was told to prove himself and he did.
Done deal now, I'd say.

I don't know. He was paid 17 million for one season.

He's still on my list of guys that have something to prove. Now that he got paid, is he going to continue to be the Tank we know or will he be less motivated?
Ha, it's gonna be a double boat load of self aggrandizement/ self horn tooting, with steadily devolving production compared to past production,,, more than likely, is what realistically should be on the table of expectations as well as that cutting a wide swath from here on out, as the #90's self proclaimed Crowing tweet in the O.P. possibly hints of in it's hoped for intent,,,and while it remains as yet to be ascertained, I'm leaning towards the former rather than the latter,,, based simply upon the distasteful display of self aggrandizement previously mentioned above.

Seems like a guy who has accomplished his goal, so what will be his motivation going forward?

I don't blame anyone for wanting paid - who wouldn't? But I have my doubts about whether this is a wise investment. We'll see.

I hope it works out, this tweet feels a little Lebron “The Decision” to me. Dunno

Remember when Barry Sanders would score and just hand the ball to the ref? When asked why his answer was great. Dignified guy. Humble. Didn’t need to talk. Just a great player. Everyone knew it.
Larry Fitzgerald does the same thing. I had a coach who would tell us play like you’ve been there before.

Guy deserved to get paid and idiots are crying about ........ probably the same ones who were crying that the Cowboys had not signed anyone.

This has to be David Canter. Has to be...

Negatory & spare me, my fellows of the rough ranging herd riders,,,& while the contents of the O.P. is personally deemed retch worthy from a myriad of different levels of perspective , the levelled eye of CLASS is clearly absent altogether.
Get over it.

On the contrary, now he has to prove he's worth the contract. If the money was for what he did the last two years - for which he was already compensated - then it'll be a dumb contract.

He's now being paid like an elite player. Will he be one, or will he sit back and count his money? We'll see.

Jealous? I think not. You should see my wife. Not jealous at all. Enough of that though. Let’s discuss more about me...

lmao

This has to be trolling

You say DLaw talks too much about himself, but you’re trying to bring your wife into the discussion you’re so insecure?

Trolling or hypocritical, and I can’t tell which.

What was contrary? That he went and did what they asked and now got a big contract?
I wasn't talking about whether he's going to be worth it.
I said what he did.
