You have to plan these contract looking 3 years down the road. Minnesota is not a team that generally screws up the cap.

He made 24M last yr

My point is that it could open the door for fully guaranteed multi-year contracts at every position. The NFLPA could use this as a bargaining chip. The owners would hate that.

I have very little faith in the NFLPA, as they always seem to be distracted by other less pressing issues (i.e. discipline).

I really doubt the contract is fully fully guaranteed, but if it is, it'd be interesting to the dynamic would be between Zygi Wilf and the other owners.

Sam Bradford is the luckiest guy in the NFL. He has made so much money and has done so little.

Looks at McCown's numbers last year. They're better than Cousins or just as good and he had less of a team around him.

One of the most surprising deals of free agency will be Jerrick McKinnon's with the 49ers: It is expected to be a four-year deal worth $30 million -- an average of $7.5 million per year, per source.

WTF

Browns sign Carlos Hyde.

Looks like they may pass on Barkley?

They also have Duke Johnson who is pretty good, Hyde is a very good back and underrated. I'm not saying they will pass on Barkley but it's not impossible to think that.

The Browns are very much open to shopping their picks, so it's not a lock that they'd draft Barkley. I have to say though, if the 'skins somehow got Barkley, I think that would be the magic beans for Alex Smith.

I would trade up to get him but I know it won't happen.

Also TB is working out Guice today so it looks like we may not go RB at 13 if both of those studs are gone.

Duke Johnson is more WR than RB at this point

With new GM and Scot in Browns office, it's kinda hard to see them spending money on RBs now that they just signed Hyde and they are trying to extend Duke Johnson. Without looking at numbers and I'm guessing Duke Johnson's worth, if they draft Barkely, then it would mean they are spending around $15m on RBs per year? That is unless Browns want to become a team who will always run, which is something they can do with Tyrod Taylor.

Good luck

Browns signing Hyde makes me wonder if they're maybe trying to trade their pick to someone who really wants Barkley...assuming the Giants would get him at the #2 spot if they don't take him.
