More than I'd have paid but for a guy who'll be 25-30 in the range of the contract it's not too bad.

That's a bit easier to digest than $37.5. I think this will work out well for us.

actually the rumors on the 38 mil deal was that it really broke down to a 5 year 18 mil and then years 6and 7 were 20 mil so this seems the same minus the poisin pill

Very good deal IMO. Didn't Kevin Faulk get a deal similar to that several years ago?

If it's backloaded it might end up being something like 4 years for $12M --- $3M a year for a young guy who has contributed in many ways is not too bad. Remember we all have to readjust our price scale to the new cap reality. The average salary is now well over $2M.

Its not bad. Plus, we signed for 5 years, whereas a 2nd rounder can only be signed for 4 years. Plus, we don't have to wait 1 to 2 years for him to develop.
