Give me your best Terry Contract (update: deal is done 3 yrs $96M)

[Chief X_Phackter]

I like Terry a lot. I think we all do. He has meant so much to this team, franchise, and fan base since he got here. I have to believe the owner, the coaching staff, and even the players all feel the same way too. I can't figure out what is going on here. It's hard for me to believe that they are lowballing him. It's more likely that he is just asking for something that isn't reasonable, which would somewhat surprise me. Actually, them lowballing him and him asking for too much would both surprise me. I thought this was a no-brainer a few months ago, but damn.

Honestly, he might want to stop F'ing around because he's only due $25.5M this year, and he is the only player I would consider using the franchise tag on next year... and that would only pay him about $28M next year. Then what, try to get that long term deal at age 32? Good luck!

Surely they are offering him at least $28M per year if not more, right?

Lamar Jackson and Myles Garrett just did it recently. Browns are a mess so who knows how it affected their locker room but Ravens seem fine with Lamar and vice-versa.

It’s just another “move” by Terry and his agent and it’s probably their last one.

I’m really curious about what’s being offered and what Terry's asking for

Schefter made a good point - WR's requesting a trade lately hasn't resulted in it happening.

Just part of the negotiation tactics. The business side of things gets ugly but it doesn't mean they don't want Terry. Both sides just want a reasonable deal.

[That Guy]

JK metcalf is 5/150, but really 3/86.5 and basically all of that 3year (minus a 5m option) is guaranteed.

I'd give TM 3/90, basically the same thing, and that's probably the most fair to both sides (and if you want to call it 3/155 with 65m of garbage money in year 4/5 that he'll never see, why not).

he's not a top 5 WR and he's 30 in under 8 weeks. Otherwise let him play out the year, consider using the franchise tag, and his ability to get a big $90m (real) or $160m (fake) deal will be gone. Obviously that'd leave you with an unhappy camper.

If Terry actually gets traded; we better have a replacement lined up.


I’d give Terry a 2 year 60 million extension and signing bonus to get this year’s salary to 30 million.

Any contract being posted up here below the starting point of 33mil/yr on average is straight bullocks. DK has only had three 1,000 yard seasons. Terry has had 5 straight. Ain't no way Terry is taking less than DK. I would suspect it's something like.

4yr/140 or 3yr/105 bringing that up to 35mil avg. 70 mil guaranteed. I can see him getting a lower guarantee because he does turn 30 in September. DK is only 27.

The team isn't going high in the 30's. i think the 2 most relevant deals are Sutton's and the jets' WR Wilson. Sutton for age and Wilson's for production.

Wilson's deal 4yr/130M including $90 million guaranteed, per Rapoport, with a $13.75 million singing bonus, a $20 million option bonus in the second year and a $10 million option bonus in Year 3. Wilson had two years remaining on his rookie contract and is now signed with the Jets through the 2030 season.

Washington isn't doing a 4yr deal so the ceiling is around 3 yr 96M but i doubt Peters goes that high. If they were willing to do 32+ per year this deal would be done. Clearly they aren't.


I think Terry wants the APY to start with a 3 and the team wants it to start with a 2

as for DK's deal Pittsburgh boxed themselves in a corner and overpaid substantially, AP won't be held to their overpay.

I see no deal. Terry will come in at some point early in the season. He’s not going to want to miss that many game checks.

We could franchise him next year but I figure we let him walk and replace him in the draft and free agency.

I see this as Terry’s final year with us

Exactly. WR's can be found in the middle, later rounds or in FA. A franchise QB can not.

Mahomes gets by w/ different casts of WR's it seems. As does Josh Allen.

[Chico23231]

Age is the driving force behind the front office unwillingness to come up. After the age of 31 production for number 1s drops. Sure some exceptions

Honestly, you gotta respect the team for holding the line against unreasonable expectations.

McClaurin is not getting traded. This is a last ditch effort by him and his camp to get more out of the Commanders. He has ZERO leverage. Is he, at age 30, going to sit out a whole year? That would be career ending and cost him millions upon millions of dollars. No, he will not do that. If i am the FO i tell him and his camp to take my latest offer, and he not pull the offer on the table and he can play this year on his existing contract and even the next two via franchise tags. Saves the team a bunch of money and there is nothing he can do about it exit quit and walk away from approx. 85 million. McClaurin and his me, me, me attitude he is showing is really put me off and i am no longer a fan. IS he a good player, yes, very! Is he elite, no, far from it. And he is a greedy, greedy, lying asshat!!

I kinda feel the same way. I love everything he brings to the table, but he also plays a position that is one of the easier ones to replace. The main thing is we now have the QB. If you have a truly great QB then that guy makes the wr's around him better. So either sit at home and don't make millions, or get your ass in gear and let's go try and make a run at a SB.

I agree with DK money but I also agree with a shorter term. I'd say 3 yrs, $95M, 65 guaranteed/3rd year voidable or the like. DK won't see all of that $150M, so Terry expecting to make a guaranteed 90+ over the next 3 years in unreasonable. TBH I think we should have re-worked his deal once we signed Daniels and had last year as year 1 of a 3-4 year deal. All this messing around will have cost both sides in the end.
