Predict Hightowers Contract

[Ring 6]

Just for fun, make a prediction on what Hightower will end up signing for, whether here or elsewhere.
Exact terms, years, total, guaranteed.

I will say
5 year
76 mill
35 mill guaranteed

 

[nabwong]

5 years
85 mill
40 mill guaranteed

People will not go too too crazy I think due to his injry history and the fact he is an inside and not outside guy but he sets the ILB market for years to come.

5 years 72M 40 guaranteed

 

[Dexter]

85? No way.

Something around 5 years, 65 mill, 30 guaranteed or 4 years 52 mill, 25 guaranteed.

I guess you think he will go elsewhere. I doubt he get's that here.

I can see that. 5 years 65 mill. Idk if the pats would offer that but it sounds respectable.

Gawd these numbers are scary.

Personally, I believe he's gone.

Some wack-job team will loose its faculties and go nuts.

6 years...Purpose of cap hit distribution

$84m..$14m AAV

Why do people keep saying he is an ILB?
First of all we don't actually have ILBs in this defense. We play a 4-2-5 nickel base.
Second when we have a front 7 its 4-3 and HT almost never is lined up at MLB.
And 3rd he spends a TON of time lined up on the edge.

Personally, I think if he leaves (and I still think he is that special guy who wants to stay and we will pay through the nose) I think he will end up on a 3-4 team as an OLB and spend a lot of time rushing the passer.
Put him in Pitt and he would be the best OLB they have had in many, many years. Put him in GB and he be better than Clay Matthews.
Keep him in NE and he will continue to do everything any LB does.

Miller got 6 114 70
If I was a GM I'd take HT over Miller without a second thought.

That's 17m dollars a year.

Pats last offer, according to Reiss, was 10m a year. He believes they're comfortable looking at a couple million a year more now.

1. Its true its the most money in FA history by far for a weak FA class . but . its also true this is the beginning of new spending period 2017-2020 so despite the frenzy many teams might remain sober eyeing bigger fish in next years:




2. Since I only care if High signs for Pats here is Miguel's latest proposal that I consider a ceiling BB would actually sign. Its an overpayment all things considering and a risk - but like Lombardi says - you have to overpay someone but the Q is how much and what that does to your locker room..

Any idea how we lost about 3m since yesterday or the day before? Miguel had it over 61m. Just curious, that's all.

Miguel's projected cap was 170mill but ended being 167.

Thanks, man.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

High will get 12 or more per year.

I don't think the pats go above 12-13m a year. But I feel someone will outbid us.

I think he'll get around this amount from some team craving the Patriots' Secret elixir. Maybe even 74-75M...
