MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 2006 500000.00 2007 1500000.00 2008 2200000.00 2009 2950000.00 2010 3400000.00 That's a total of $10.5M for those 5 years, which works out to $2.1M a year in base salary. Figure his signing bonus was about $5M (since signing bonus is usually less than than 50% of the total of a players' base salaries), and that's about $3.1M a year he'll be making. Pretty good!

If he progresses like we and they project, it is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I like the deal. I thought it was going to be 4yr/$10 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 what i'd really liek to see is the bills give out his SB as a one time roster bonus right now. then we could take the entire cap hit for the bonus this year when we have the room, and not have to worry about ANY dead cap down the road.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 I like the deal. I thought it was going to be 4yr/$10 million. Uh, 4yr/$10M is $2.5M a year, which is a better deal. But I like this one. And yeah, having the signing bonus being a roster bonus would be a great move, IF they can get their other stuff done without it hindering things.

Reed, Price, and I believe Royal all recieved that same contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sounds very NE Patriot-like! Find a good player, sign him early to a good deal and have a good team player for a reasonable cap number. At the end of the season he was our best OL. Gandy was next and we have both of them for this year. Our OL could really be a surprise this year.

We have so much room under the cap with nobody left to spend it on. The money goes to Peters right now in either event so why not put it under this years cap?... IMO this is the first true error Marv has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 IMO this is the first true error Marv has made. 724435[/snapback] IIRC, Marv doesn't touch the dollars and cents part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 it is a nice deal....and very cap friendly. beats the heck out of the ridiculous deal they signed Peerless Price to. that one is gonna be a killer to swallow when he gets cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the first thought that popped into my head. You gotta wonder if we even considered something like that. Those would be the types of questions I'd like to see someone ask Marv.

Sorry Marv....I thought it was your decision to give a signing bonus when a roster bonus would have been far wiser. Does anyone know who's decision the dollars & cents falls to?

Everything must be cleared through Marv and Ralph but I would think Marv defers to Overdorf on these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 If giving Peters his guaranteed money in a roster bonus versus a signing bonus were feasible, I'm sure they would have done it. But we don't know what Peters got in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't know what Peters got in any case. 724541[/snapback] No, there are reasons for or against it. They have the money (if it's around 5 mil or so) but they may not want to go into the season with little to play with, they may wish to use it on Clements if he starts playing well, they may wish to see if there is a late cut like Lawyer Milloy, etc. So it's a gamble if they do it but it probably would be the right thing to do.

Or they can give it to him in straight salary for this year instead of a signing bonus, like the Vikes did with Antoine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, maybe this implies we will be re-signing a few players throughout the season. I hope so, it would be nice to sure up the talent that we actually have for the foreseeable future.
