I was actually hoping it would be worse. I was hoping for a crippling contract.

WOW! That's a lot of guaranteed Money!

A lot guaranteed but he's a QB and it's only 4 years, so....I don't know. Maybe I was expecting him to get way more.

Only 4 years, I guess they don't think much of his potential "Life Span!"

Regardless, it changes his cap hit going forward from under a million to around $22 million. Yes, the cap is rising but that absorbs much if not all of the increase.

YEAH FUCK THE SEAHAWKS!!!! Chanceler is holding out and they gotta pay Wagoner now too! THERE SCREWED!!

 

[ram007]

So Rams without any winning seasons are going to pay Foles and bunch of others this year and how are we not freaked? BTW, Rams have a little worse cap situation thanks Seahawks.

Actually, it gives the Rams more reasons to seek an extension with Foles before he has a great season with the team. He'll be cheaper now. Yes there is risk, but it's a necessary gamble. Keep in mind that the franchise tag will be more expensive now.

And I'm Loving every minute of it!! KARMA!!

When The Mighty Quinn and Aaron blast that Wascally Wussell Wilson and send him off on a stretcher in Game One, what the hell will the 'Hawks do?

 

[Rmfnlt]

WOW! That's a lot of guaranteed Money!

Yeah... it is. But the players have figured out that the total number isn't what counts.... rarely does a player see all of it... in fact, a lot of times, they only see a small fraction of it.

So, go for the gusto. Makes sense to me.

Cap implications of this contract for Wilson?

Pay him $60 mil!!

:cheers:That ESPN update we all just got is the sound of the Seahawks superbowl window closing....with a resounding THUD.

So happy about this!!

 

[FrantikRam]

I was so afraid of him giving them a hometown discount....this is on par with Rodgers....this is definitely a crippling contract for this team.
