Phenomenal resign. Glad we bring him back than Schreff

[skinsfan69]

To me this is an overpay, but that is what it was going to take to re-sign him.

What does this mean for Payne?

[sdskinsfan2001]

Hell yeah!!!

He is our defensive anchor. Love to see it.

99% of resigning as or free agent signings are overpays. Just the nature of the business.

I think keeping a guy on his 1st contract is worth a slight overpay. Bringing in free agents by overpaying is different.

I'm not sure it's an 'overpay'. By extending, the $30M signing bonus prorates over five years, not four. So we carry $6M of that on our cap here in 2021.

That leaves the average annual cap hit of the 2022 - 2026 portion of the contract at $16.5M. Unclear how much of that is front loaded or backloaded. I don't see it as out of touch with market value - remember the cap is going to go up next season by a lot.

This has a lot to do with reinforcing the culture. If you want to talk culture you can't let a guy like Jon Allen get to the franchise tag phase. Because he's a guy that does absolutely everything right. The culture talk is empty if you don't extend Allen.

Scherff does everything right too but he flat out doesn't want to be here. We offered top of the market guard money and he said no, not much more you can do.

This is good stuff. The leadership and a guy who just does the dirty work while playing within the system. Really lucky when he fell to us and this is a great win for culture and leadership in the building.

Also, hats off to the front office to get this done now especially after a lil disappointment in not being able to keep Schreff long term. This is a win for those guys too.

This was a must in my opinion. Nice to see. Hope this is the beginning of a trend.

Great news !
And this is absolutely NOT an overpay !
As it stands, per otc, there are 4 interior Dlinemen with avg/y of more than 18M. And seven with 17M or more.

So Allen will be out of the top 10 paid interior DL in a couple of years...

Gotta pay your guys, especially your team leaders. Glad to get this done.

I 100% agree with that. I'm not saying it was a bad resign. Allen is a good to really good player that we had to keep.
