its probably the same deal they gave randle el

[quote=steveo395]its probably the same deal they gave randle el[/quote]you are probably right but el is the better all around player

Re: Brandon Lloyd reports for workouts
 

Probably just a little less overall than Randle-el--in keeping with the skin's policy of paying more to players they really value as "skins guys". I'm going to guess from watching how they've dealt with Randle-el that he fits the bill...

Plus Lloyd is less tested and has more to prove--all that smoke about him complaining in SF (reasonable, given how bad they are...), and he's younger. Plus he's a rapper. Can't say that Gibbs is a rap guy. We'll see when Canuck updates the sheets--I really don't know anything until Canuck gives it his say-so. I didn't know MY salary until Canuck laid it all out for me.

Re: Brandon Lloyd reports for workouts
 

he'll probably count 2.5mill this year, which, with holdman, still leaves 3-3.5mill to spend.

lloyd is a far better pass catcher than El as is pretty good after the catch (though moss and cooley are definately better there). He might only get a 5-6 year deal, but its probably somewhat close to El's or moss's.

Re: Brandon Lloyd reports for workouts
 

i'm just glad he's signed . one less thing to worry about. all we need now is for taylor to be found NOT GUILTY.

To be honest, I hope its not the same deal. But in reality, all of our deals have escape clauses in them basically big bonus up front, and vet mins after that.

I'm sure we will be alright.

Re: Brandon Lloyd reports for workouts
 

I don't think it will be a deal quite of that magnitude. With Randle El, Archuleta, and Carter, they were outbidding other teams for their services. They had Lloyd under contract so the need to give him high bonus money wasnt as great. The contracts will probably be similar, but I don't think Lloyd will have a 30 million figure.
