Don’t think you suck if you make the pro bowl moron.

At least, from a talent perspective, Sanders has a contract that compares… Rolle does not.

if he is worth this much, what should we resign jairus byrd for…..

I think there is a presumption that salaries increase every year (cap or not). If Sanders was healthy and was signing a contract now, he would probably be making more money then what he signed for in 07′. This is one of the reasons that I find it frustrating when two years into a contract, players feel ‘disrespected’ when other players are making more then the contract they signed a few years ago. Salaries increasing every year is an automatic so comparing $ for $ contracts signed two/three years ago with ones signed today isn’t an apples to apples comparison.

Mike Florio wrote:Though Sanders’ total guarantee was $19 million, only $8 million is guaranteed for skill and injury. For Rolle, all $15 million is guaranteed for skill and injury.

What other type of guarantee is there? e.g. the 11 million in guarantees for Bob Sanders not covered by “skill and injury”?

It seems like a double standard that you would degrade the Lions multiple times for their signing of Burleson, but fail to make the same claims against New York for obviously overpaying Rolle.
I would agree that Detroit may have stretched when signing Burleson, but didn’t New York do the the same with Rolle?
Police your boys, Florio! You’re a lawyer, right? Do the scales of justice not apply on PFT Planet?

If it is guaranteed does it matter?
What about Landry’s deal?
How does it compare to Reed (same per year but an extra year) and Polamalu (more guaranteed)?
Bet you wish I didn’t ask.

That’s how long Rolle will be a Giant. These absurd free agent contracts for “good” players usually last about two years. Same goes for Dansby.
