BuckyFillUps Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 how much do you think the top CB will get for his rokkie contract? 21mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Probably a 6-year deal that voids to 5, for a max of ~$18M and with ~$13M guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Depending on the agent, I'd go 23-27mil. Agree with the 13-18mil guaranteed, wouldn't be surprised with the 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I based my numbers off of that last 2 drafts' 11th overall picks. At most I see the numbers I gave and no way does he get close to $18M guaranteed.

Â I hope not, but in my defense there had already been 2 QB's taken before Cutler in '06, McKelvin was the first CB taken. Willis's numbers were around par. I just see with the number inflations over the past 2 years, I wouldn't be surprised if it was an upper end contract. I hope not, especially since he's coming in to a solid 1-2 starting rotation.

It has little to do with being the 1st ro 3rd player at that position taken, as it does with being a QB versus another position. Usually non-QB picks get a slight raise over the previous year's pick.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Didn't Ryan just get 32M guaranteed from the falcons?? Wasn't Ryan the 3rd pick in the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCCEO Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 QBs generally command slightly more money as it goes down the draft order. Top QB picks(top 5 specifically) tend to get ludicrous contracts that go above and beyond that of guys who play other positions. That being said, a lot has to do with contract structure.

McGee and Greer is not a "solid 1-2 starting rotation" They are good, but not Solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
