A year ago, you wouldn’t think David Garrard would be the guy responsible for getting the richest contract ever in Jaguars history, but nine months later it’s true.
Garrard signed a seven year, $60 million dollar deal with the Jags, and apparently it could’ve been a lot more.
“I pretty much had to say, ‘Let’s go ahead and wrap it up. I’m done,’” Garrard said. “It’s too much stress on me and my family. My wife was done five weeks ago. She’s already been on board with everything. We just kept working on it and I finally just said, ‘You know what, I’d rather be happy now, have the city happy now, have the team, the organization, the owner happy now than trying to string something out having everybody on edge.’”
I’m kinda shocked Garrard received the richest deal ever, but maybe a little more shocked the richest deal ever is $60 million.
