D82 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 I mean...I'm still confident a deal will get done, but...this doesn't ease the mind exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBoys Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I don't think there is a real story here. It's like when we started the Dez watch thread. It's pointless. The team isn't dumb enough to let Martin walk just like they wouldn't be dumb enough to let Dez go before offering a pay cut. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yeah, it probably isn't much of a story...but it's still news worthy. I mean, it's not as though we have much else to talk about right now.

I would guess $14-15m/yr. $35-38m guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Right now Andrew Norwell is the highest paid guard in the league after signing a 5-yr $66.5MM contract with $30MM in guarantees and a $15MM signing bonus. I'd imagine Martin to get probably a good bit more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I think Martin signs because I don't feel the team is dumb enough to let him walk, BUT I've said that before. Just recently with Dez, and was absolutely positively shocked in every sense of the word with Dez being cut. So nothing surprises me anymore with this team/staff. So this IS news. Even though it shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Would you pay Martin, an offensive guard, $70 or 80 Mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
