The terms of my deal are 4 years for a total of $57.4M with $40M guaranteed!!!(holy shit!!)

New highest paid CB in the league. He is so lucky to have Thomas watching his back. Hope he sucks this year lol.

That is a hell of a lot of cough tied up in two players in your secondary.

Good for him, it's well deserved. Hope Britt/Austin/Bailey/Givens tear him up next year though. :D

40 million guaranteed? Holy shyte, that's a lot of money for an overhyped CB who only gets interceptions because QB aren't afraid to throw it his direction. I hope this hamstrings them when they have to resign Earl Thomas and Russell Wilson.

Beginning of the end for Seattle. All these guys making big bucks the rest of the guys have to move on to get paid or they get released. Not good for the team but that is the nature of the nfl these days. You get good and then all your core players want more which makes it hard to have quality depth because you dont have the cap room to pay.

Sherman’s contract will end up being a five-year contract worth a total value of $57.431 million.

According to Florio, Sherman receives an $11 million signing bonus which, when added to his 2014 base salary of $1.431 million, brings his 2014 salary $12.431 million and is fully guaranteed.

Interestingly enough, the remaining $27.569 million is only covered for injury, but will ultimately become fully guaranteed in February of 2016.

In 2015, Sherman will make $10 million and is fully guaranteed on the fifth day after next year’s Super Bowl.

The Seahawk will owe Sherman another $12.569 million base salary in 2016, which will also be fully guaranteed on the fifth day after the 2016 Super Bowl. Florio adds that another $5 million of his $11.431 million base salary in 2017 will also be guaranteed at this time.

Here are some important numbers to consider. Sherman will have made $12.431 million as of net February and $22.431 million after his second year. Assuming he’s still on the roster as of February 2016, Sherman will have made $40 million.

It's Carroll's scheme and Thomas together. The rest of them aren't too shabby either. Watch him in the all 22 under that scheme though and see if you still think he's overrated.

That said... Fuck him. And yeah the contracts are going to start building up. Going to be interesting to see how they approach it moving forward.
