Dmeade- Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 5 year deal worth 65 million and 35 million guaranteed. Averages out to be 13 million a year. It would make CJ the highest paid running back in the league with roughly 3 million more than what AP is making now on his rookie deal. You all are naive if you think Peterson's new deal next year want be in this range or possibly a little bit higher. CJ has done his work and deserves his payday.

TF_Titan Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 CJ has done his work and deserves his payday. In the NFL you can't pay for past performance. You pay based on projected future performance, which in CJ's case is probably about 3 more years in the 1200-1400 yard/season range if he's lucky.

Dmeade- Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 It is what it is. Larry Fitzgerald's deal is around 17 million average a year and CJ has more of an impact on opposing defenses. You all have said you are ok with CJ being the top paid running back which would put it on a yearly average of around 11 million. So essentially y'all just have a problem with a couple million?

People are belittling this, but I would not be shocked if the actual deal is not too far off from this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you use past performances as a parameter to judge for future performances. We are about to see CJ in his prime. And lol @ CJ "being lucky" to hit 1200 yards.

ctm Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Here's my shot at it: 2011--13M signing bonus, 1M base (all guaranteed) 2012--9M roster bonus, 6M base (all guaranteed) 2013--9M base 2014--10M base 2015--14M base 2016--15M base That's 29M guaranteed and total contract value of 79M. He can be pretty easily be cut after 4 seasons, if necessary. That's what he gives up for getting a new deal with 2 years left on his contract. He'll have to show he's still worth the money in 2014 and 2015. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have to show he's still worth the money in 2014 and 2015. The most sense so far. I would adjust just a bit --- shift oneM from 2015 and put it in 2013, and oneM from 2016 and put it in 2014. Just a little sweeter for CJ. But, NO MORE pro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcibiades Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 It is what it is. Larry Fitzgerald's deal is around 17 million average a year and CJ has more of an impact on opposing defenses. You all have said you are ok with CJ being the top paid running back which would put it on a yearly average of around 11 million. So essentially y'all just have a problem with a couple million? A couple means 2. That difference is 6 million, which is huge! That's two average starters. Fitzgerald will be making like 12% of his team's salary cap according to some article I read out there. That's a lot to make up. I don't have a problem with paying CJ 11 million a year on a 4 or 5 year deal (including signing bonuses, etc.). That's a bit high and scary still, but he IS our star player. But 17 million would be sheer madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcibiades Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I didn't get that you were referring back to your original post, actually. I thought you were comparing the Fitzgerald contract, because that post alone doesn't have any other context. In any case, I personally have no problem with the contract you posted in the OP, except I would lower the guarantee money a bit and try to get the average down to 11, yeah. That may not be possible, so 13 MIGHT be ok, again as long as the deal is essentially voidable after 4 years or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
