JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Quarterback David Garrard probably could have gotten the Jacksonville Jaguars to pay him more money.

But he was tired of negotiating.

So Garrard ended the contract process Monday, signing a seven-year, $60 million contract that is the richest in franchise history.

hes guaranteed 20 mil..not bad at all..

[simple simon]

very smart move by the Jags ..... he made this team last season ..... they were nothing when he was hurt

[Lefty Noob]

Richest contract in team history. Not bad. Now, is he really the franchise QB? Will he be around to see the end of this deal?

[Bette]

Not a bad deal at all for a career back up. I like how he plays, but I dont know if he will be a franchise qb or not. But there is so few really good choices out there. Jags did what they had to do I guess.

[Dusty]

I don't think he's Peyton Manning but like alluded to above by Bette, not a lot of good starting quarterbacks out there. If the Jags feel this is their guy which they must they want to lock him up. I think this was a good move for the Jags.

Seven years is a long time in the NFL. Garrard could be long gone by then, retired or on another team. I doubt he'll be around to see the end of it.
