ESPN.com - NFL - Martz returns keys to Lions' offense over money: "A source said Martz was seeking a three-year contract that averaged just under $1.5 million a year, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported. Martz's agent, Bob LaMonte, met with Lions officials Thursday afternoon at the Lions' facility in suburban Detroit before talks broke off."

What were the Lions thinking? A 3 year deal for $1.5M/yr sounds EXTREMELY reasonable, almost insulting given what Al Saunders is making in Washington. For a near guaranteed playoff berth you don't want to spend $1.5M/yr? This makes no sense at all.
