Julian Edelman & Pats agree to multi-year contract extension [2 yrs, $11 mil, $9 mil gtd]

[AtomicDawg]

Absolutely love this.
Not surprising but significant.
Plays hard, knows the system and makes plays like these. Great to know he's gonna be a Patriot for life.

 

[Joey007]

Good. Good. Good.

I want Jules to never leave here.

 

[scott99]

Great news, he'll probably retire as a Patriot (one of my all time favorites).

 

[Deus Irae]

Can't be true.

Better a year early
Brady's gon
etc...

[PatsFan2]

I will believe it when I see it.

 

[varjao]

I called it.

He's a top 10 receiver in the league.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The offense ran through edelman once gronk went down.

 

[bormio]

Edelman went from a 10-11 YPC guy in his career to nearly 16 YPC in last year's playoffs. You try and shut off his underneath stuff he can get to the next level and hurt you. He has added to his game.

Wonder how much it'll be annually. Guessing he takes less than he's worth. Expecting around $8M/year, it'll be a real steal for anything less.

I get the feeling he's going to be playing for peanuts again. Dude just wants to win and play with the GOAT.

My wild guess - 3 years, $20 mil

 

[Sfpat]

I'd guess something like 3 yrs $30 MM with a $6 MM signing bonus and $15 MM guaranteed

 

[Keyser Söze]

Hell to the yes...great news.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Good. Good. Good.

I want Jules to never leave here.

Hes just one of those players that if he goes to another team, it just doesn't sit well with me.

Wilfork
Ray Bourque
McGinest
Orr
Fisk

 

[Love The Drake]

Loved Edelman ever since his first games against NY Jets and the only receiver to show up during the awful Balt playoff loss I never understood watching that game why he didn't get more reps before that.

these numbers seem way too high. his last contract in 2014 was $19m/4 years/$5m guaranteed.

i'm guessing something more along the lines of $14m/3 years/$4m signing bonus.

[resdubwhite]

Absolutely PAY THE MAN. Its overdue.
guessing 12 -14 million extra over 2 years. probably throw a couple more into this year.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

I'm guessing it'll be something like 2 years 11m 6m gtd, it's gonna be in the 5m a year range.

They will want it to be more than the 4m a year Hogan is averaging but won't pay anymore than 6m per, they've shown us over and over and over again they don't value the position that much in terms of $ they've given for it.

No chance. Not for a 32 year old receiver.

It'll most likely be two more years at the same rate hes at now.
