I think it's more than fair, for both sides, especially considering if we draft a WR at #11 it's going to cost more than that, most likely.

Last year Calvin Johnson got 6 yrs, 64mil...Ted Ginn 5yrs 21.8mil...Marshawn (at #12) 5 yrs 19mil.

its fair.. as long as it is back loaded and pays only if he produces.. hackett would be less with more upside.

More risk, also, and I'm not convinced he'd be looking for less.

Re: Is 6 yrs/$22 millions for Johnson OK?

No freaking way. ONLY if as Tatonka suggests and it is very backloaded would I like that deal. I don't think that would be the case as guaranteed money is what all free agents are looking for. This guy has done NOTHING to warrant such a contract. I thought what Wilford got was overpaid but closer to what I would pay.

Wilford got 13mil over 4, or an average of 3.25/year. 3.66/yr really isn't that much different especially if the upfront money is similar and (most likely) the bigger numbers come in the later years.

Re: Is 6 yrs/$22 millions for Johnson OK?

The size of the contract (if true) is a bargain for the Bills. The length of the contract is great IF it doesn't have a huge signing bonus. If Bryant were to come in and not be very effective, it would be painful for the Bills to cut him after a couple years.

I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Yes, it would be a fair deal, IMO.

Under cash to cap it wouldn't be backloaded, right? Isn't that the opposite of cash to cap? Under that kind of a deal, if he tanks, we can cut him at any time with no penalty. As long as it doesn't keep us from our priority extensions, I'm fine with it.
