Faulk Re-signs

[lordofgun]

Marshall Faulk will be a Ram for the next 7 years. He signed a new deal worth $44 million. WHAT A BARGAIN!!!

I doubt he will play another 5...

I bet he retires in 3-4. He has mentioned his body has been deteriorating each season from the pounding he takes. Notice the past 2 years he has not completed a 16 game season without missing a few due to injury

[lordofgun]

Agreed, but a $44 million dollar deal is a real steal, especially considering he won't see it all if he only plays 3-4 more years.

[Dozerdog]

How much is bonus? That will all get accelerated if he quits.

If it is a backloaded contract with a moderate signing bonus then it is a good deal. I think marshall only has at best two years before you see a noticeable decline in production. RB's take a pounding and when they go down hill they go down hill fast. Marshall is at the age when Thurman started showing signs of wear and tear. I still see Marshall playing for 3-4 more years. Nothing worse for managemnt than seeing a part time player making 5-7 million a year
