6 years, $21M.
Meanwhile Tommy Kelly gets 7 years, $50M. And the Browns trade a #2 pick to sign Cory Williams to 6 years, $38M.
:rocker:
Warren took that contract after his big year last year. Samuel had done little two years ago and was looking for a mega deal after his first big year. The opportunity to do it isn't always there. Had we signed Samuel cheap two years ago you know he'd be holding out now. Some guys are all about the money and Samuel is one of them.Wish we would have did that with Assante 2 yrs ago...
That's Kelly.Let's not forget however that Harris' new contract with Oakland is quickly becoming one of the biggest jokes in all of free agency.

That's Kelly.
You're right but Cory Williams got $17M more from the Browns over the same 6 years. Only a year later.
Didn't the Pats offer Assante a multi-year deal a few years ago, but he opted out which led to the franchise tag last year. I'm not sure what the figures were from their offer then, but it was for something like 3-4 years and 12-16 million. At the time, I thought it was a fair offer, but obviously, Assante's gamble paid off as he will definitely be celebrating a huge contract from someone by the end of the weekend.
During the 2006 season they offered Samuel a contract that would have paid him $6.3M per. I thought it was a pretty good offer at the time. It was later rumored by "sources" that they offered him slightly more, but he still declined the deal (said they were "far apart"), so they slapped him with the tag.
