Jansen agrees to $80M, 5-year deal with Dodgers
- December 14, 2016

I checked his background. We just going to play football, be the best football players we can be. "Sometimes, I think some of our players think it is their prerogative - and not just our players, other [team's] players - to start to make comments, but I think we need to settle whatever ...
