Forked from: Is it just me?

it is just you.

But to give you possible indication of what Hardy may look for. Devin Thomas just signed.

Probably close to it...

Re: Forked Thread: Is it just me? - Hardy - $4mil over 4 years?

Devin Thomas, seven picks before Hardy: 4 years, 4.83 mil, 2.7 bonus
Malcolm Kelly, 10 picks after Hardy: 4 years, 3.36 mil, 1.655 guaranteed

That would be about right, maybe slightly more.

4 million would be about right

Re: Forked Thread: Is it just me? - Hardy - $4mil over 4 years?

I'd really like 5 years but that's probably a pipe dream.

1 million a year for Hardy? That's a steal!

this is why i don't want the Bills parting with draft picks.

Chances are Hardy is going to be worth WAY more than a buck a year. So in two years when he holds out and we say no because he has 2 years left, we are in the same boat as everyone else.

Obviously I don't think he should be paid $10M and I do think he should earn his paycheck, it just seems like $1M per year is a joke nowadays.

I make a million a year and can hardly feed myself.

Awww, poor hoofhearted. It would take me 20 years at my current salary to make a million dollars. I'm trying to eat less.


Team tend to push for longer contracts because with a short contract they can just about get a player trained to do what he's supposed to and do it well, and he bolts the team for a big paycheck elsewhere. Agents push for shorter contracts on the assumption that they can cash in if the player they represent becomes a star.

Is it just me or does that seem low?

Nope, sounds about right.

it is really only the top of the 1st round that makes sick money.. and the 1st round in general that gets contracts that hurt a team.. the second round on are always way reasonable and are typically the guys you can build your team around.

If he turns into a legitimate #2 and has two very nice seasons right out of the shoot, he does have some leverage to ask for a raise. Obviosuly, this is all depending on him playing super.
