Todd Heap has gotten a 6-year extension and is now the highest paid Tight End in the NFL league today. Even higher than Kellen Winslow's $40 million. Boller, who congratulated Heap during training camp said, "No one deserves this more than Todd. He is one of the elite playmakers in this league. He not only makes me, as a quarterback, but our entire offense, that much better.? In other news, nickel back Deion Sanders returned to practice after missing the previous day for personal reasons. Jamal Lewis and Terrell Suggs missed practice due to legal obligations. And Derrick Mason is the big guy on camp as the fans crowded him with thank you's for joining the team.
Given Heap's injury problems, I predict they just flushed all that money down the drain. Good for him. Bad for the Ravens. In related news, that bumps up the "transition" price for tight ends, since they average the top contracts in the league. Bubba Franks will be happy to hear that.
I sure hope he can stay healthy. He is a top TE if he can is just even more of a reason to motivate Kyle Boller and get his play better.
