Current 2014 Free Agents

[Monkeydad]

Well Dan Bailey is off the market until the year 2020.

Jerry Jones, who already has salary cap issues, just gave his young kicker 7 years, $22.5 million with $7.5 million guaranteed, a $4.5 million signing bonus and $3.4 million a year salary.

At least their special teams are solid...drafting a punter and paying a kicker before positions that actually matter.

Forget protecting Romo or having a pass rush, we have our kicker signed until next decade!

It gives him the largest total contract value of all kickers, more than Janikowski's due to length and right there in money per year, without the leg that the Raiders' kicker has.

Compare, only kickers making more than Bailey per year:

Janikowski $3.775 million
Gould $3.75 million
Scobee $3.45 million
Bailey, $3.4 million
Gostkowski, $3.4 million
...
Forbath, $1.44 million



Guaranteed:
Janikowski $8 million
Gould $4.9 million
Bailey, $4.5 million
Prater, $4.25 million
Gostkowski, $4 million
Barth, $4 million
Succup, $4 million
...
Forbath, $480,000


» Over the Cap- Top NFL Contracts: Kicker



This reportedly puts Dallas $22 million OVER the cap.


If we ever pay Forbath this kind of money, we're just as stupid. Bailey is good but paying him more than guys like Gostkowski, Prater and as much as Janikowski and Gould, WHILE already in cap hell?

I hope Jerry Jones lives a long life.
