thebandit27 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Wow! @JasonLaCanfora It's a big boy contract for ex-jets DT Damon Harrison and the Giants. $24M guaranteed/$9M per year. Giants aren't messing around Wow...they have to believe that he's going to be a 3-down player for them. At $9M per, he better be!
Big C Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 It's called the draft. Or maybe a NT-type guy who might come cheap later in FA. Oh totally, I was just surprised he got scooped up so quickly and overreacted. I liked him as a possibility for us.
Captain_Quint Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Wow some of these contracts are silly, I guess we just need to get used the elevated cap = funny money. +1 Cant believe 24MM guaranteed for a NT?
The Big Cat Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Honestly, to me these numbers are meaningless. And I expect for many of you too. But it's hard not to oggle the amounts. I just wish, though, that we could see what these salaries were as a percentage/percentile relative to team salary. That would give us a better indication of their worth.
billsfan89 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I would like the signing. The Bills could use someone that could fill that pure NT Role. Kyle and Dareus would be better off playing more outside in certain situations. I thought the Bills missed the boat not having one on the roster last year.
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 +1 Cant believe 24MM guaranteed for a NT? yep. He's good, but played 50% of snaps for Jets.
BobbyC81 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 How on earth did we go into last year without at least one true nose? Yet we were still able to smell how bad the defense stunk.
BADOLBILZ Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 yep. He's good, but played 50% of snaps for Jets. Overpaying in free agency is normal but they basically paid him double his worth.......and that is assuming that he even plays up to what I think is his ceiling...........which frankly isn't Ted Washington-esque. Is it just me or are a bunch of traditionally thrifty franchises now bidding each other up in free agency........in part because they need talent.......but also because they realize they need to reach the 3 year cap floor number pretty soon and there aren't many places where they can even half-rationalize spending it? The days when teams will be able to casually roll into free agency with 70 million in unspent cap space are coming to an end. That's why the NFLPA(and some wealthy owners) wanted teams to spend 90% of their cap room over a 3 year period. Salaries will keep rising but we've seen spikes like these in the past as teams adjust to significant cap policy adjustments.......and in the following years salaries tend to level back off for a while.
Manther Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Wow! @JasonLaCanfora It's a big boy contract for ex-jets DT Damon Harrison and the Giants. $24M guaranteed/$9M per year. Giants aren't messing around Oh my! Not the bargain $5 M/year I thought he could have been had for.
