warfelg Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Almost the exact contract I called for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 It’s basically a 2 year deal for $29M with only 1 year guaranteed. Seems like a fairly reasonable contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, essentially the way I understand it, it's $29M in new money, and the $16M of this years deal was GTD and redistributed for cap reasons to the remainder of the contract. It's good in that it's a win/win if he declines/retires the dead money hit is really reasonable, and if he plays like he has lately it's a steal.

AFF Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I still wouldn’t have done it but the deal isn’t as bad as I originally thought it would be. The best estimates of it are creating $9.6 mill in cap room this year and him being on the team through 2025 where he could easily Be cut after 2025 and saving $15 mill and eating $4.9 in dead $$$.

rlon Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Not as bad as I was led to believe initially. Let's hope he can be the Jackie Slayter of DLman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 This is a win for both parties. It let's Cam decide when he is done while not cap strapping the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus-Viktor Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Mixed Feelings. Big Time. He was great back in the day, and he seems to be a great dude. But if his production is 1/3 the amount of cap space used for him, that's not good. He's not the player he used to be. Not even half.

I'd disagree that isn't half the player he once was and he is just 6% of our total cap. There, imo, is a significantly noticeable difference between when he is and is not on the field and it IS better when he is out there.

He's still a top 10 IDL in the NFL, one of the top run stuffers, and a high level pass rusher. Last year was this first year in a while since he was in the high 80's low 90's on a PFF grade and he played a majority of the season on one leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 The thing is, I was watching the BTSC podcast show last night and man, there were a few fans that were really against this extension and I just don't get it. The same people would've been furious if we had, hypothetically, cut him or traded him. He is still a force to be reckoned with. To me this was never about money for Cam it was about being wanted and wanting to be here. Maybe I'm wrong, that's just the way i see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong, that's just the way i see it Woulda been fine with trading him or cutting him long as the $$$ saved woulda been used on a younger piece. The contract is better than what I anticipated….hes easily cuttable after the 2025-26 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 How do I know extending Heyward was the right move? Mark Madden is having a hissy fit about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
