114/6 with 60 guaranteed, that's fucking nuts

 

[Mackenzie 92]

One more time. That guaranteed money is not guaranteed. Just the signing bonus of $13M.

One more time, I'm talking about dead money. Whether it's really guaranteed or not, every contract I've seen the guaranteed $$$ has matched up with dead money on the contract.


His old contract for example

Cap numbers for LeSean McCoy: $5.5M in 2015, $7.675M in 2016, $8.875M in 2017, $8.95M in 2018, $9.05M in 2019.

Assuming the cap raises gradually I don't really see a mandatory cut year in there. Nice work Buffalo.

 

[Wes]

The Dolphins?!

 

[BlackGhost]

Let's direct our attention to Kas's Twitter feed.

 

[MechDX]

Front loaded

20 million a year for 3 years?

And people here are giving Rick Smith no credit for how Watts deal is structured.

 

[Bowser]

Suh got an elite QB contract my god.

LOLOLOL

Someone photoshop Suh with an eyepatch

Bet half of the "guarantee" is roster bonuses.

You people never learn.

Ndamukong Suh will sign with #Dolphins on Tuesday based off parameters around $114 million and $60 million guaranteed, per sources.

No fucking way

Wow if true

It's more fun to be overly dramatic

 

[JaMarco]

I don't know why people are acting like that Suh deal is crazy, he's an elite player.

 

[Plinko]

Good. Now go get some DTs, a corner, and Spiller, Mayhew.

As for why the deal isn't great: I honestly don't trust Suh to not start regressing now that he got his money. He's not Haynesworth by any means, but I just didn't think he'd keep up that level.

Plus, for all the talk about "Lions elite DL," they went entire weeks without any QB pressure at all.

The Eagles have set the parameters of a deal for Maxwell that consists of 6 years $63 million with $23.5 mil fully guaranteed. $13.5 year 1

More for Kas.

Although I guarantee he'll come in here and say it's all lies until Suh officially signs on Tuesday.

Nice. So Revis is getting at least $13.5M plus the Pats $5M. He's getting closer to the $20M mark.

Get McCourty done.

That's a lot of money for Maxwell. I'm out of my element with these NFL contracts though.

It's hilarious you keep mentioning this like it's annually...and they already paid him that money whether he's there or not so it has zero impact on negotiating.

Dick Sherman got this dude paid. Wouldn't be surprised if he busts real quick.

Byron Maxwell still hasn't agreed in principle. Really likes Seattle, will give them chance to counter. 1st offer (SEA) back loaded.

Hold your horses. or ducks. Whatever

No way we can beat that, nor would I want us to come even close.

See ya later Byron, thanks for the 3rd round compensatory

I don't even think that is agreed upon yet.

Jayson Braddock may be making shit up. How is he getting numbers and play-by-play negotiation information?

 

[JaMarco]

OAK must kinda feel like shit at this point, everyone just using them.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Awwwwwwww yeah Suh to the Dolphins.

I can feel it coming this year.

Super Bowl.

 

[Tom Penny]

OAK must kinda feel like shit at this point, everyone just using them.

They will just overpay leftovers.

 

[twinturbo2]

Awwwwwwww yeah Suh to the Dolphins.

I sincerely hope the Phins know what they're getting into. Suh could be a great pickup, but he also has some... baggage.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Dick Sherman got this dude paid. Wouldn't be surprised if he busts real quick.

Seahawks D in general. He will probably be average at best just like that corner the Giants signed from seattle. He's so inconsequential I can't even remember his name!

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Read this from Sando.

Yeah I get that, I'm just talking about dead money not actual cash. Once dead money is on the books, it can't come off via cut or trade and is escalated against the cap in those circumstances.

So for example, if the Suh contract is legit, the Dolphins now have 60 million dead money against the cap.

 

[Tenumi]

*Pokes in*

Suh, at that money? No thanks, he can leave. That's nearly $10mil more than Watt. He's good, but not that good.

At least that's out of the way now...

 

[Himynameischris]

I sincerely hope the Phins know what they're getting into. Suh could be a great pickup, but he also has some... baggage.

The dolphins will regret this very quickly

 

[Bowser]

With this guy running things, what could go wrong?!

 

[Striker]

Seahawks D in general. He will probably be average at best just like that corner the Giants signed from seattle. He's so inconsequential I can't even remember his name!

Thurmond played two games! Now a FA... read he's a possible suitor to Atlanta with Quinn.

Maxwell should thank Earl Thomas mostly. Now he matches up with Odell, Dez, and Desean.

 

[Plinko]

I sincerely hope the Phins know what they're getting into. Suh could be a great pickup, but he also has some... baggage.

The baggage won't be the issue. The consecutive games without any QB pressure will. It drives you crazy. 3, 4 straight games of nothing.

Before Teryl Austin got here, his run defense wasn't too special, either. Under a good DC, he can shine.

Report: Jaguars Turning Attention To Free Agent DT Jared Odrick http://bit.ly/1A8Raj2

Jags and Raiders entering scramble mode.

And just think: free agency has not even actually started yet! Love this time of year!

I'm sure they had no idea

 

[jakncoke]

How Raiders and Jags going to use up their cap lol

 

[abolisher6812]

So with the Jones-Drew retirement, it reminded me of the Jaguars...

maybe this is just nostalgia speaking, but is there any Runningback in the league right now that you'd take over Fred Taylor?

maybe Lynch and Peterson...but I can't think of anyone else.

Maybe I am a little biased, but I would absolutely take Fred Taylor over anyone else in the league. He is the 2nd best running back I have seen, behind Barry Sanders.

I fear that all the pickups Rex got for the Bills spooked the Phins.

 

[Bowser]

The problem with having a lot of cap space when you suck?

Players would rather take other teams' money.

 

[Pepiope]

Maxwell is probably ours, now go pay for McCourty Chip! Aiming for that #1 defense next year.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

I'm guessing we will get Pot Roast at least.

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

Never been into Am. Football due to a lack of coverage in Germany, but I quite enjoyed this years Divisional Playoffs, Conference Finals and of course Super Bowl. Having acquired a pay TV subscription cheaply I might try to get into it this year.
