Sherman has to understand he can't take more than 10-12 mill a year

Yep. However he already won a ring, if some team pays revis 15-16mill, watch out.

Twitter not working for anyone else?

Yup its down.

Richard Sherman is a 5th round draft pick coming up on his first real contract. I wouldn't expect him to take anything that low.

Sherman will ask for, then he's gonna become the highest paid corner in the game.

Deservedly so.

That low? $10-12M is pretty pricey no?

 

[stillin729]

Would you pay Sherman $16 million a year?

 

[100027]

I wouldn't pay any CB 16 million. I don't think any team is going to be dumb enough to go that high again though.

Not if someone in your position is making 4-5mil more

Reminds me of when jerry signed carr nd traded for Claiborne.


Soooooooo much optimism from me,especially for Mo. Damn I hate Claiborne now. Lol

Not gonna front, when you guys moved up and drafted Claiborne I was actually kind of nervous. I thought he was Pat Pete 2.0.

Agreed; teams that win build through the draft and replace out going high priced free agents

at people being expected to work for less than they are worth. Oh fans

Revis isn't worth 16 though. And he won't be paid that after he gets cut.

Also Bennett just took 1.5mill per year less than he was offered elsewhere.

 

[stillin729]

Revis is getting $10 mill if he's lucky once he's cut

 

[herbshuttles15]

One thing though once won't the Salary cap increase by about 20 mill in two years so 12-16 mill might the going rate for the top corner in the league

 

[stillin729]

Sherman's a great player but take him off Seattle's defense and throw him on middling average D full of so so rookies and players and it doesn't matter how good he is

I'm speaking in more generalities, fans and that discount they always want...or anger at what a guy makes

This is why I want to get Thomas and Sherman extended asap. Thomas is easily worth the 10-12million top safeties are priced at now.

 

[rillo561]

Wouldn't mind seeing revis in a Oakland uni tho...get your money.

yep, "maintenance"

Those *************.

Are they eligible for their extensions yet?

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Damn twitter, you ****in up.

 

[CP1708]

NFL had to have paid Twitter to go down today just to get everyone salivating even more.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

The #Patriots and WR Julian Edelman couldn’t finalize negotiations and reach a deal. He’ll hit the market, per source.

Eric Decker, Austin Collie, Marc Mariani and Owen Daniels are still out there.

[worldbeefreeg]

I'm going to laugh at whatever team splurges on Eric Decker (if it's my Jets :x )

I ******* love Edelman though, tough SOB, great returner, beast in the slot
