Henry and the tag

The main issue and reason Henry should agree to a long term contract at or slightly higher than the tag amount is that the team not being committed can run him into the ground.  If he has a 3 or 4 year deal that is reasonable   it would be beneficial for the team to conserve him to get more out him in the last years of the contract.  

 

Disagree.  He's a RB.  They're going to run him into the ground regardless.

I'd expect a long term deal to be less than the franchise tag in terms of APY unless it's inflated by non-guaranteed backloaded money.   Add in if he's getting a big deal, he's getting the rock until he's on the down side.

The Steeler Plan.  They ran LB 400+ and planned to run him 400+ more.  They ran into a big problem when LB held out, AB left the planet and BB broke down.

I don't care what other people think, but when you try to use people up it doesn't always work out for your own good.

The right thing to do is plan for a 3 year window for the team..and if we are lucky a 4th year from Tanne and Henry..

Robinson still is talking like he wants to get a deal dont before July 15 for more years. 

 

I could see a 3-4 year deal with ~$22M guaranteed in years 1-2 (using tag twice as basis) and team options for years 3/4 at something like ~$8-10M/yr. 

 

I don't expect any 6 years deals with 3 years of fluff on the back end.

I wonder how much Robinson wants to even sign Henry to a long term deal, unless it's extremely team friendly

I bet the deal looks good on the surface for Henry, something like 4/5 years 60 million, but in reality is a 2/3 year deal with dummy years at the end similar to how Caseys contract was structured. You can tell NFL players look at the average per year as a sort of ego thing

As Floyd Reese used to say, I just left the last year blank and told the agent to put in whatever he wants, he's never going to see it anyways.

Most of the guys that get monster contracts know they'll never see the last couple of years of crazy money. It's not sustainable and it makes it harder for them to be traded because teams have to pick up some of that contract in a trade. They just get released.

I think this is DHenry's last year in TN no matter what he does in 2020.

 

That is why the kid they drafted in three was done.
