inflated sense of self worth also

Jamaal likely will get 40 million over the 4 years if I had to guess. (He is between Shady's 9 and AP's 12), however with Smith I'd have to let him play this year out if he is asking for too much. If he earns the money, then okay, but otherwise no need to budge. Tag him if you have to. Houston should be next.

Makes you wonder who will get cut next year... Tamba, S. Smith, Fasano, Daniel, etc. days looking numbered. Would love to have Tamba just take a huge paycut.

BS, not when it comes to W's.

Yes Charles is far more elite than Alex, but if the alternative is Chase ****ing Daniels, we are ****ed.

Now assuming we can develop Bray or Murray, maybe you have something

Cool, at least they got one deal taken care of.

This explains the Smith/Houston hold up.

All that time we were worrying about those two, we didn't think about the fact that they might be working out a deal for Charles.

The table is set, and now they can take care of Houston. Alex's deal will get done next year, or he'll get franchised.

That would be cool. It's possible, but that's just asking a hell of a lot from any player, especially a RB.

His carries over six NFL seasons:

67
190
230
12
285
259

That's basically 1,000 carries. If he averaged 250 carries over the next four years, that puts him at 2k at the end of the contract. And 2k is what Herm Edwards said last week is usually the plateau for running backs, FWIW.

Not bad at all really.

I kinda thought the 'don't give him more money crowd' was stupid for this reason right here. Happy to see Charles is signed through what will probably to the end of his effective career.

Of course Charles proves to be pretty unique. Many players would have held out for more. He could have really squeezed this team and forced their hand.

:LOL:

There is truth to this. I'm just looking out for the future.

I guess, THIS is exactly the reason that you let the Dexter McClusters, Tyson Jacksons, and Jon Asamoahs of the world walk- so you can pay guys like Charles and Houston.

Now we are taking!!!! $7 million a year is the perfect compromise. LOVE IT!!!

27 originally + 18 with this deal so 45 million
