Usually that's around where players stsrt losing a step of top end speed and explosion. For S thatbcsn get pretty bad pretty quickly, and unless it's a 1-2 year bargain deal post draft, I'm just not a fan. Also I think you are underselling Savage. To non GB people, he looks like one of the better FA S in this class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's one of the better FA S in this class, he wasn't used correctly and/or he underperformed big time. Also, staying healthy would be very helpful for his career whether with the Packers or elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry had some success with the front 7 but was a disaster on the back end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 @Packerraymond or anyone else..... Can someone please explain Russell Wilson's free agency as it relates to contract? I keep hearing that he will sign for a very minimal deal for one year. And that is because whatever he signs for will decrease the amount owed from the Broncos (and therefore reduce his cap hit to them). I get that, but only kind of. Just for the sake of numbers, let's say he is owed $40M next year from the Broncos against their cap. Due to the deal and how it was worked, that is money coming to him from the Broncos. Let's say that he signs for $10M/year from say...Pittsburgh. I'm led to believe that all he still gets is $40M, only the $10M from Pitt reduces the amount owed by the Broncos, so he still only nets out $40M. How is that his new deal ($10M) doesn't go on top of the old deal money and give him $50M for the season? Is there some offset language there that I am not clear on? I get the narrative on him concerning his old contract and how it works, I'm just wondering why it works that way. Thanks in advance!

I get the narrative on him concerning his old contract and how it works, I'm just wondering why it works that way. Thanks in advance! The way I understand it is: The Broncos aren't paying Wilson any money at all. He has already received his guaranteed money, they just have to account for it on their salary cap. Any new money he gets is paid by the new team. But any of that new money offsets what the former team is on the hook for, against the cap this season. I think it offsets because the player is not allowed to have two contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Ian Rapoport - The Ravens agreed on a blockbuster deal for Pro Bowl DT Justin Madubuike, as he cashes in on a disruptive, 13-sack season. Instead of the tag, he gets his new contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also makes any new deal for Clark trickier because whilst Madubuike had a better year last year and is trending north, Clarks has had quite a few good years in a row and isn't yet declining.

Here is all the IDL line deals in the last 12 months: Madubuike - 24.5m per year Williams - 24m per year Simmons - 23.5m per year Lawrence - 22.5m per year Payne - 22.5m per year Hargrave - 21m per year You have to think that a new deal for Clark will cost somewhere in the 21-24m range also.
