What will Lynch's contract look like?

[patmoran2006]

Anyone anticipate any problems with getting Lynch signed?

Last year's 12th pick, Haloti Ngata eventually signed after a brief hold out for $14 million over 5 years.

That number seems a little low for potentially a franchise running back.

what kind of deal do you think Lynch will be looking for?

I dont really know, but my best guess is maybe 5 years, 25 mill?

Cedric Benson held out a couple years ago for 5 years, 35 mill, but he was taken higher. With the new contracts people have been getting, its hard to say.

I don't know what it will look like, but I know that after he signs it, the following website's business will increase by 100%:

I'd say a holdout is unlikely as long as both sides have reasonable expectations. We have the cap space, so unless Lynch has ridiculous demands or unless the Bills try to low-ball him, it should be fine.

id Guess a 5-6 year deal at 4 mil per.

isn't the minimum for FA's 4 years according to the new CBA?

The way the salary cap is increasing, any player worth a damn would be stupid to sign for longer than the minimum.
