TV signing

[Buckets]

Is anyone else wondering if we are expecting this guy to be around when he is 39? Probably not so we get to pay him when he's retired. Personally I'm not enthused about this move especially with Bobby Taylor out there..

Get one of the cap guys in here stat!


Give this man the info he needs to be saved!

I am sure the contract is written to help the salary cap...nobody expects him to be playing when he is 39

I can almost guarantee that the way the contract is structured that is won't be that hard on us cap wise when he decides to retire.

How much would Taylor cost?

We cut him after 3 years if he's not performing. If the signing bonus is 3.5 as reported we take a 1.75 cap hit. Big deal.

I wonder what the statistic is for players who sign their first big dollar contract - how many actually see the end of their deals?

It's got to be well under 50%


20 million for 6 years with 3.5 million up front.

so, 16.5 million spread out over 6- that's an average of 2.75 million a year- and the bonus if spreadout over 6 = well just over $500K a season

He'll be gone in 2 years (3 at absolute max) so whatever the math is for that, that's our hit.

Added all together, if Vincent plays the first three years of his deal, he'd probably play a lot more than Taylor would in a 6-year deal with all his injuries.

If we sign Volek we could call it the Triple V Offseason! .... I'm Trademarking it!
