[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 51228, member: 260"] $10 million would be the total cost of the contract for 5 years, so it would not count $4 million against the cap this year. It would be this way: prorated signing bonus (over 5 years) = $500,000/year. Typical 1st year base salary is close to minimum. I don't know the minimum this year, so let's assume $700,000. That would make his cap number this year $1.2 million. It's very likely that this could be a backloaded where his highest base salary would be in the last couple of years making it easier to cut him if he doesn't pan out. As for his value, that's yet to be determined obviously. His career to this point makes him appear to be a solid backup and this contact is way too high. One thing I like from the JSonline article though is that he's a good field general: "You wouldn't say he's a great athlete," one scout said. "But he plays hard and he plays fast. His tempo's good. In the back end, he's the guy that gets everybody lined up. He's going to be a communicator." We need a leader on defense to get everybody lined up. This will be a huge asset for our young CBs, and it's a good bet that TT will add more young CBs to the mix. [/QUOTE]
