Relax, people.

I bet this is backloaded and he won't see that money..

In terms of ayers, like many players, it's more about scheme and fit.

If parker fits here like they think, overpaying a bit isn't a big deal

Nah, he's just not a militantly ignorant goddamn whiner.

You have no idea, none whatsoever, how this contract is structured and you're still sitting here bleeding out.

Then again, you're just going to bitch regardless so I guess there's no harm in staking your position before you're aware of the substance.

You've gone full ****ing Clay. Bitching about $70 million in contracts to guys you know will see maybe 1/2 of that is just wailing for the sake of wailing.

I'm fine with this. He's a solid player at single high. Terrible corner, but solid safety.

There was a huge market for Parker and McCourtey this year because single high safeties are hard to find and this safety draft class is bad.

Glad parker is back though. Good safety that can help out at corner is valuable.

Relax, people.

5/6 million for 2 years is still too much!!

I sure as hell hope so but there will a number of guys who can do what Parker did for us in the 2nd-5th round of the draft for a fraction of that price.

What is the deal with Dorsey paying a bunch of money to Jags?

pay the impact guys, draft the jags for cheap

:doh!:

Structure, structure, structure, structure. Calm down before your flip your shit because the structure will determine absolutely everything about this deal.

In the end I think we'll probably be a little annoyed by the deal, but not $6 mil/per annoyed.

He's a guy that credibly plays single-high safety and there just aren't a lot of those to be found. A TON of our success on deep balls last year came from his ability to really blanket deep. Additionally, with a healthy Branch, Abdullah could play nickle safety like he did a couple years back and you suddenly have a pretty nice coverage package and credible run defense with Branch/Abdullah being well above average for SS and NCB respectively and Parker being merely average in run defense for a FS.

This gives Sutton a TON of looks he can employ. Parker's a very nice fit for what we would try to do.

Wait until the structure trickles out before you lose your shit. If we end up paying him $12 million over the first 3, it's a solid deal, $15 million and it's a mild overpay but nothing brutal. Beyond that and I think we got hosed. Hosed or not hosed though, he's a good fit here.

You are greatly overrating Parker's coverage ability as a single high safety. He did not "blanket" deep. That is extremely hyperbolic. Most of our secondary's success came from the constant terror inflicted on QBs by the front seven.

There were several players at in-demand positions out there who were younger with longer track records of success who got less money than this.

overpaying is always a big deal

They probably don't give him 5 years if they didn't chip in a fairly substantial signing bonus that they're looking to spread. If that's the case, they probably won't be eager to accelerate it into year 2.

I'd imagine we're looking at what will amount to a 3-year deal.

He got lucky with half a season in New England and cashed out.

And $9 million for a center is the definition of stupidity.

He got 2/6 from the Rams.

Parker played well here for half a season and will likely see 2-3 times that in guaranteed money.

Do you not see the irony in your argument?

the salary cap is a myth ... every year you just leverage towards the next year or the next two years ... rinse, wash, repeat

Clark is spending a lot of up front money and people are still mad. Go figure.
