It's market economics.... I think 21M for 3yrs is adequate for Vince, throw in some bonus money up to a 1M a year for games played. Fair deal.

Vince is the better player and he's years younger. Why would he think your deal is "fair" for even a moment?
Who's better? I think Hampton w/o a doubt, but people here will say otherwise I predict
If I were Kraft and I saw that deal go through, I'd immediately rescind the offer I have on the table for this guy.
Plus I don't like giving fat guarantees to guys who can get injured badly. Too risky.
do you think rolling your eyes makes you smarter?

Like it or not Hampton set the market! People can argue which ones better all they want. Hampton is the same caliber of player. So he's older. I'd take the 36 year old version of Ted Washington over either one of em'.
I'm more interested to hear from him about all of the positions that cannot "get injured badly".

No, of course not. I think I AM smarter and rolling my eyes indicates that. It's an expression of my belief. It's not that rolling eyes in and of itself makes anything. How could it?

Hampton is really only guaranteed his $6.5 million signing bonus, according to documents filed with the NFL Players Association. He has base salaries of $4 million in 2010, $4.9 million in 2011 and $5.9 million in 2012, and each year, $1 million of Hampton's base salary is dependent on him meeting certain workout and weight provisions.
Wilfork, who is four years younger than Hampton, will command a richer deal than Hampton. But Hampton's deal helps establish the current-day market for nose tackles who play in 3-4 defenses, and it wasn't a blockbuster.
Caught this from Reiss...

It'll be interesting to see how the Pats insert this type of structure (if they have not already or not at all?) into the negotiations with VW. Can't imagine hes pleased with this.
Not quite sure this deal "sets the market" as you claim. Typically, a market-setting deal is the top-end of the spectrum, with some exceptions every now and then. IMO, this deal is not of that variety.
Because of their youth, both VW and Franklin should get more.
