lol WOW.

don't get me wrong, he's earned it, but that's going to cripple our cap for a long time. Then we're going to have to resign stafford in a few years.

Has any team won the Super Bowl with a top 5 paid QB and top 5 paid WR or RB?

 

[cheeno]

Montana-Rice?

 

[tomdalton22]

Montana-Rice?

[cheeno]

Must of missed that in your question.

That HAS to be bullshit. Fitz got 8 years, $120 million. At 8 years, $170 million, Calvin would be getting $6+ million MORE PER YEAR!!!! He's not THAT much better.

 

[lionskillpack]

Yeah 8 years 170 is ridiculous even for Calvin. Might as well play on the 22 million ridiculous number he has now.

Fitz contract is even ridiculous compared to Andre Johnson

Yep. No team in the NFL would pay 8 years, $170 million for a WR, regardless of how good he is.

 

[lions2011]

it's all about the guaranteed money...Calvin is going to get in the 60 - 70 million guaranteed range....at 7 or 8 years.

he'll never see the last 2 or 3 years of the deal anyway.

True story. 7 years Calvin is 33.

 

[tonyballs]

Pay the man.

And i'm still buying 2 beers at a time, even though it cost me 20 bones!!! Woooooooooooooooooooo!!

 

[tomdalton22]

It's going to be tough paying CJ then Stafford that kind of money while putting a quality team around them.

They'll find a way.

 

[lions2011]

cap is going up in 2013 and 2014....they'll be fine

 

[tomdalton22]

I hope so. It will definitely be tough to keep other good players. They can't miss on any early draft picks either. Time will tell.

how many teams have really had that opportunity?


a team would have to get lucky and most likely be bad for a long time (like us) and draft both of those positions most likely...because top 5 WR's RB's and QB's rarely get to hit free agency..
