D_House Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2647220 In a rare move, Patterson agreed to a contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles 24 games into his NFL career. The Eagles extended their 2005 first-round choice by rewarding him with a seven-year, $32 million extension that could be worth $37 million based on incentives and escalators. This is really surprising to me. It seems awfully early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He traded 9 million in up front money for 3 more years of low salary before it steps up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 the eagles like to lock up their young players early...they did the same thing with Shawn Andrews last year and numerous other players getting them at reasonable salaries now rather then wait and have to overpay or lose them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's been supplanted by the recent corporate darling, the "value proposition"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Peters is making about $3M a year. If he becomes as good a LT as we hope, that will be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
