Not many people were expecting a repeat.

The reported numbers ($57.5 million over five years with $33 million guaranteed) have almost certainly gotten massaged. They will probably look much different once we get a look at the actual contract and can see how the deal is structured.

This is almost certainly not going to be a popular opinion but keeping Peat might not be as bad of a decision as some might think. Before you close your browser, give me a chance to explain.
