jahbonas Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 The #Eagles and OT Lane Johnson have agreed on a 5-year extension that could pay him up to $63M with $35.5M in guarantees, sources say.

Wow...well, the price tag for Cordy Glenn just went up considerably. Johnson is a RT getting upwards of $12M per year; Glenn should want $13M per with $40M guaranteed. Thanks Philly.
gonzo1105 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 The Eagles are spending a lot of money on "Potential" this offseason. Thats a crazy contract and they just gave a big one to Ertz too that
Manther Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) That would be extreme comparables! I say ink it, it can only go higher. LT is not a want it is a need. And, Cordy is great. The only knock is no Pro Bowls or All Pros. But, his play is similar to those who are. In Buffalo we have needed a QB and LT for the century. We have one and may have two. Let's lock up the LT.

jahbonas Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Only item we know for sure is the 7 million/year guaranteed Hope so see how likely the incentives are to get to the 63 figure (12.5/year)
thebandit27 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Yep, I was hoping for something like 4 years $40M with $20M guaranteed. Yeah, I thought the Colts screwed us when they gave Castonzo that contract before opening day, but this is even worse. I'm sure that the sell would be that they're paying Johnson as though he's going to take over at LT when Peters retires, but still, Glenn's agent will have no compunction about asking for Trent Williams numbers now. Only item we know for sure is the 7 million/year guaranteed Hope so see how likely the incentives are to get to the 63 figure (12.5/year) True, though the AAV went way up for a LT now.
Mr. WEO Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Paying a Tackle 40 million guaranteed is insane. Value isn't there.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Wow...well, the price tag for Cordy Glenn just went up considerably. Johnson is a RT getting upwards of $12M per year; Glenn should want $13M per with $40M guaranteed. Thanks Philly. I signed Lane Johnson in Madden, and the game encouraged me to put him at LT and Glenn at RT. Glenn was rated the same on both sides while Johnson improved slightly on the left. Irrelevant but it gets a fella to thinking I don't know much about Johnson although I remember his tremendous athleticism from the draft. Do you think he's capable of playing left tackle at a high level? I'm wondering if the Bills could make the case that Philly decided to have two left tackles, and paid accordingly, and if that could help in negotiations with Glenn in any significant way. edit- I see you answered this already, lol Edited January 29, 2016 by Aaron

Paying a Tackle 40 million guaranteed is insane. Value isn't there. Whether it's there or not, someone's going to do it now that this deal is signed.
Dopey Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Paying a Tackle 40 million guaranteed is insane. Value isn't there. Not trying to put words in your mouth, but are you saying "don't sign him for that amount"? I don't see how we let him go and bring in a LT on top of a RT to boot. IMO, we have to sign him long term, not the franchise tag. Take the $ savings from Mario and get it done. Incognito should be next in line to re-sign.
YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 @spotrac At $12.6M/yr #Eagles Lane Johnson is now the 2nd highest avg. paid OL in football. His $35.5M GTD also ranks 2nd. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/average/offensive-line/
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Yeah no LT is worth that much Also imo Lane Johnson > Glenn CBF

Whether it's there or not, someone's going to do it now that this deal is signed. A GM's biggest folly, but you are right. There is never the return on investment in paying a single O-line position so much. Many have failed in this way.

Mr. WEO Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 You didn't like the year that the Bills sign Dockery and Langston Walker? That's certainly in the HOF of zero sense O-line management.
YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Glenn's health situation may play in to his contract and gtd $ amount
johnwalter Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) The Eagles are spending a lot of money on "Potential" this offseason. Thats a crazy contract and they just gave a big one to Ertz too that Lane Johnson is a very good player. If you buy in on the PFF stuff - he grade out very highly. I'd put him right there with Glenn. And, I should note, in todays NFL the value of an RT is approaching that of an RT. Ertz is also a fantastic player - his stats over the last month of the season are insanity.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Glenn's health situation may play in to his contract and gtd $ amount What was the story on that kidney being removed anyway? Anyone know? I don't think Glenn and his agent will be making any allowances.
