    Official McKelvin deal $$ from NFL.com

    10. Jerod Mayo LB New England 5 years, $18.9 million ($13.8M guaranteed)
    11. Leodis McKelvin CB Buffalo 5 years, $19.4 million ($12.6M guaranteed)
    12. Ryan Clady OT Denver 5 years, $17.5 million ($11.5M guaranteed)
    Interesting that we paid 500K more/year overall for #11 than the Pats did for #10, but the highest-paid CBs traditionally makes more than LBs. Plus, Leodis was the first CB taken which pushes his price up a bit more, and his guaranteed cash was in-line.

    And by the way, great job by Jonathan Stewart's agent in Carolina. $20 mil for 5 years for #13. And RB is down the list as far as an earning position.

      The fact he is the first corner back off the board probally accounts for the increase in price.

        If we pay Peters now, Leodis will be all over us for a new deal in 2010.

          deffinatly a fair deal. i tend to believe he will be our primary kick off returner taking mcgees place as well as corner so he will earn his money. evans will be the next to get done then it will be interesting to see if crowell gets done or they do peters. i mean that will be interesting to see. if we get all 3 done there will be hardly any free agency next year as all 3 of the contracts will be over 5 million a year.

            Not a bad deal. I agree with others, the fact that he was the first CB taken off the board has more to do with his higher salary than anything.

              The guaranteed money - which is really the most important element - is right in line.
              Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                Yep, the guaranteed money is what counts. I'm sure the extra $500K is in the last year of the deal, and by that time, the Bills will either have cut him if or extended him.

                  there are probably a few perfromance bonuses written in there that make the contract appear to be more then Mayo's, and if McKelvin hits those bonueses its money well spent.

                    I only wish we had signed him to a 6y deal (which I know dont happen much now a days)

                    Other than that, good deal

                          we didn't pay 500k per year more, only 100k. Anyway, the total value is meaningless in NFL deals.. the guaranteed $ is the number that matters, and that seems right in line
