Cotchery contract details

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The deal, a five-year extension believed to be worth about $4 million per season, came on the eve of the free-agency period and a full year before Cotchery would have been able to test the market for his value.

very nice deal, i believe he is going to be more than worth it.

I hope they extend Warren this year.

The thing is with Branch, Samuel, Givens, and Graham while they hadn't reached pro bowl level earlier in their deals you could see the potential there.

So instead of paying them 500k-1.25M in years 3-4 you pay them 2-2.5 but then you get them extended 3 years for 3-4M in place of losing them when they are getting 6M+/year.

Except that we didn't know that they were going to reach pro bowl levels. We have lots of solid contributors who never make this leap.

Besides, of those players only Samuel has actually performed at a pro bowl level thus far (and only for one season).
