Hillenmeyer became the second player in as many days to sign a new deal when he came to terms Thursday on a five-year extension that carries through 2011. He receives $5million in bonus money, and the total value of the package can approach $13million with escalators. Running back Adrian Peterson got a three-year deal with a $1 million bonus Wednesday.
i think this is a great move, it's not that much money. Plus Hillenmeyer is still young and has a lot of potential.
