Gerald McCoy gets 7 yr deal

[12intheBox]

7 years, 100 mill, 51.5 mill gtd.

Suh is up next. We got a heck of a deal signing Quinn long term.

If Donald keeps it up, he's going to get more than this. I don't enjoy seeing this.

Dam that's lot of money! There was no way they were gonna let him hit the open market.

Suh's contract will be a pay cut, really lol

Bucs, Gerald McCoy agree to seven-year contract

In a disappointing year for the Buccaneers, they’ve just accomplished one thing: They’ve locked up their best player for a long time.

Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and the Bucs have come to an agreement on a long-term contract extension. The deal was first reported by Jay Glazer of FOX Sports.

According to Glazer it’s a seven-year deal worth close to $100 million. We’re working on getting the details of how the contract is structured and how much of that money is guaranteed.

The third overall pick of the 2010 NFL draft, McCoy has been an excellent player in Tampa. The Bucs hope he’ll be a building block for Lovie Smith’s defense for years to come.

I'm thinking this is less than JJ Watt got! That's only fair as Watt's the best d lineman going! Still a lot of dough for a big ugly!

That's a long ways away, and if he's worth the money I'd be happy to see him get what he deserves.

A bit early to worry about Donald's payday - he is in the first year of a 5 year deal for crying out loud.

Suh will probably test FA and will end up with a very similar deal.

I'm not sure if this is still true, but I remember reading that TB has a ton of cap room...maybe more than any other team. At least I think that was the case during the 2013 offseason.

That might have something to do with the big contract. They can afford it. That, and TB sucks, so they naturally have to overpay.

Gerald McCoy and Geno Atkins, better all around DTs than Ndamukong Suh.

Suh? I would not even consider a UFA contract with him. McCoy is the total opposite where he is true young professional McCoy IMO deserves it!

Inflation is a bitch.

We'll be adding another name to that list soon enough...

This is the players getting their fair share of the new TV deals that will be going into effect over the next couple of years. Me personally, I am liking the fact that positions other than the QB will start/are getting paid.

Lastly the deals with Long, Larinitus are starting to look fair and reasonable. Quinn is a flatout steal.

I should've clarified...from that draft class.
