Don't hold me to my numbers. Just based off a quick estimation.
Put yourself in his shoes for a minute.
The 9th pick got 5 years $28.5 Mill and $18M Guaranteed.
The 12th pick got 5 years $23 Mill and $13M Guaranteed.
Now if Crabtree (10) wasn’t fighting for more money, it would be simple. He would get about 5 - $26 - $16. Meaning Maybin (11)would come in about 5 - $24.5 - $14.5. Easy as can be!
But as we all know, Crabtree wants Heyward-Bey (pick 7) money, 5 – $38.25 – $23.5. There’s no way Crabtree gets that kind of money but say he can get something between where he’s slotted and what Heyward-Bey got? Let’s say he signs for 5 - $30 - $20. Suddenly Maybin could conceivably be slotted in at about 5 - $26.5 - $16.5! That’s a difference of $2,000,000! 2 mil in guaranteed money!
I don’t know about you guys, but if I was told that if I hold out for another week or so I could make an extra $2 mil guaranteed, I think I’d be holding out too!
Of course, the Bills may not be willing to go $2 Mil higher but Maybin would have much more leverage.
