The Giants signed Sam Madison to a 4yr 7.4 million dollar contract today. The Pats couldn't have brought in Madison for at least the same if not a little more. That contract is basically peanuts. The deal, which has been in the works for several days, is worth $7.4 million. It includes a signing bonus of $2 million and base salaries of $900,000 (for 2006), $1.2 million (2007), $1.5 million (2008) and $1.8 million (2009). There is also an annual incentive of $250,000 for four or more interceptions.
