" Bunch of up front money "

DaBruinz

That's a pretty crappily written article.

2 years for a total of 3.25 million if he hits his escalators.. Doesn't say how much the escalators cover.

Salaries of $600K and $850K for the 2 years..

What's a "huge amount of money"? Even if they gave him 1 million up front, that's not a "huge amount of money"

Leigh Bodden, McCourty, Ras IR Dowling, & Arrington now locks.

Bulter & Wilhite fighting for last spot.

Good for Kyle. He improved tremendously last year.

They're now here for injuries and trade value. I suppose there's a chance we keep one of them, but only a slim one. They better play amazing ST.

Excellent point. The fifth CB may not be on the roster yet.

Since Arrington was an ERFA and locked in for $525K, he received $2.7M for the one year extension, with a bunch of this upfront.

$2.7M isn't bad for one year as backup.

That being said, I'm glad that we extended Arrington and locked in our backup corner. We are now set with for 2 years with McCourty, Bodden and Arrington. We also have Dowling, but I expect that his future is at safety.

Finally, Arrington might compete with Butler/Wilhite for reps at nickel.

And yes, I know that Arrington is also an emergency linebacker.

They mention in the link that his agents also represent Guyton. I was just thinking that the contract reminded me of his. They gave Guyton a little more than what they had to give him, which is a nice little low-cost appreciation bonus.
