and if suh is franchised he counts as 28 mil vs the cap.

Not going to happen. He either signs before the start of the season or is gone. Wouldnt be surprised if Suh doesnt sign though if we extend Fariley before the end of the season.

It won't come down to that.

I don't know a lot about how the franchise tag works but that number seems high. I thought as the franchise guy you got the average of the top 5 guys at your position. I find it hard to believe the top 5 average DL guy gets $28 million. But like I said I'm not a capologist.

This is what I found on the franchise/transition tag numbers.

An "exclusive" franchise player must be offered a one-year contract for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position as of a date in April of the current year in which the tag will apply, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, whichever is greater. Exclusive franchise players cannot negotiate with other teams. The player's team has all the negotiating rights to the exclusive player.

Mayhew and Lewand went full retard restructuring a guy who was guaranteed to be a tough re-sign, removing all leverage...hence $28 mil for a franchise DT. LKP will tell you it got us such a stunning crop of free agents that we won 11 games in two years. Totally worth it to either be screwed by another $100 mil contract or lose our best defensive player since Night Train Lane for zilch.

Tulloch Bush Quin levy jones. Yep great restructure on suh twice and then the cap went up. More wins to come from those free agents and resignings. Lions handled suhs 22 million number easily. That gets rid of his leverage. They dint need to lower his number in 2014

Quin bush levy and tulloch will be here longer than that. Long term investment. They could be key pieces to a Super Bowl squad this year

Quit fucking saying super bowl talent or squad. This team isn't making it there in the next couple of years.

They could be more important than that....they could be key pieces to a 4 win season and mayhew getting fired!
