Burress extension impact on Evans
The Plaxico Burress extension (signed this past week) likely will have some impact on Lee Evans' negotiations from the standpoint of average dollars per season over the length of Burress' deal, which is at about $7M. Burress is also guaranteed $11M this year, which is a huge number. But I would anticipate that a signing bonus or signing bonus/roster bonus combo would have to be in that neighborhood for Evans on a long term extension. We shall see.
OT Winston deal and Peters
Houston OT Eric Winston's new deal is worth $6M per season (5-$30M) with $6M to sign and a $2M roster bonus. Obviously Peters is in line to make more than that. He's likely to be in the $8-$9M per year range, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Bills broke up the guaranteed money like the Texans did with a signing bonus followed by a roster bonus in a subsequent year.
