    the concept of EARNING your salary in the NFL is a thing of the past....I have nothing against incentive laden contracts for the rookies but the guarenteed $$ that teams are having to kick down really rattles

    my chain...The teams are being forced to negotiate on intangibles........The nature of the beast i suppose

    i can merely hope that Haden is able to contribute in a reasonable amount of time in helping the Browns win some effing ballgames

    That is why in the next CBA there will be a rookie salary scale....shifting more money to proven veterans.

  • according to OBR the Raiders gave McClain a 12.9% bump overall and a 19.8% increase in guaranteed money over last year's #8 pick, Eugene Monroe

  • Actually he will be a LOT more than #8, because of what the Raiders paid DHB at #7 last year.

    And why exactly would a WR's contract have any bearing on a corner back in a completely different draft class? His contract will be based on the CB contracts given over the last few years. His draft position certainly plays a factor but a ridiculous WR contract from Al Davis sure as hell isn't one them.

    The reason it might have a bearing is because his agent will argue that it should have a bearing and that the #7 pick in the 2010 draft should get a bump over the #7 pick in the 2009 draft, regardless of what position he plays.

    I agree with the concept that a WR and a CBs contracts should not bear on each other, and that a ridiculous Al Davis contract shouldn't bear on any other contract, but the fact of the matter is, they will...if it means the agent can argue for more money.

    The Raiders signed McClain 1 slot behind Haden. Perhaps in some circles that contract may also be viewed as another absurdly high Al Davis contract, but it sure as hell will affect Haden's deal.

  • Now Trent Williams, the #4 overall, just signed.

  • I think it's going to happen soon.

    Hadens twitter said he was boarding a plane to Cleveland yesterday!

  • Eric Berry and Anthony Davis (and several other higher Draft picks) just signed.

    Haden has to fall today or tomorrow now. If not, not a smart move.

    With those guys around where he was drafted I would say the "slotting" of his compensation package should be fairly easy now.

    I agree.
