Here is the highest paid TD numbers signed in 2015. 114+ Million. Suh is not nearly as good as Aaron Donald. His contact is probably going yo br near 125 Million for a Defensive Tackle. His average could be 22 to 25 Million per year. That is a lot of Jack for a DT. I know the Rams have messed up JJ's and TA's contracts so getting this right is important.

You have to ask is it worth that kind of money for Arron Donald?

Ndamukong Suh signed a 6 year, $114,375,000 contract with the Miami Dolphins, including a $25,500,000 signing bonus, $59,955,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $19,062,500. In 2015, Suh will earn a base salary of $985,000, a signing bonus of $25,500,000 and a workout bonus of $15,000. Suh has a cap hit of $6,100,000 while his dead money value is $59,955,000.

Right now Donald, Ogletree and Tru are three most important players on the D.
If we can keep two it's an easy choice who walks.
If we can only keep one it's easy choice who stays.

I think this^ would probably be were the Rams would start Talks at, then the price goes up! I'm thinking Donald gets about 70m guaranteed on a 6 year 120m contract!!

Eagles fan's to this day, regret that White left. White is more closely identified with the Packers than the Eagles now...His legacy with the Eagles is all but lost...
They still went to the playoffs without Reggie the very next year, had the 6th best defense. And that was with Rich Kotite replacing Buddy Ryan. Sure Philly fans loved Reggie, but the coaching changes and lousy QB sunk that team, not his departure

And they might have been 32nd if they didn't have Reggie White.

24th was evidently just enough defense.
And after winning the SB they thought so much of Reggie's play, they let him go....

So Reggie White had 3 sacks in the Super Bowl for the Packers, yet he was absolutely worthless? c'mon man..

Is that what I said?
What I did say is that after that yeoman performance they let him move on to another team. So apparently they could live without him....

Actually, I had the years wrong and he was still there after the SB...
He had 16.5 sacks in his final year in Green Bay, then he left
