Calvin will be 30 years old week 3.

[RobBase]

Kinda old for a WR making 132 million dollars over 8 years.

 

[gandydancer]

No kinda about it.
It is not what he made in the past that bothers me. It is the insane amount in his future that irks me.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

you got to remember that these past two seasons, 2014 and 2013, he had relatively low cap hits of 13M and 8.7M. Those two seasons also helped in signing Quin, Bush, Tate, right along with Suh's restructures and Matty's extension. Now comes the BIG BOOM in these next three years of

cap hits
2013.......8.773M
2014.....13.058M
2015.....20.558M
2016.....24.008M
2017.....21.358M
2018.....17.000M

just keep in mind that AZ WR Fitzgerald was due to be accounted for a 23+M cap hit this year and he ended up reducing that contract. We may very will see that happening to CJ after this season to which could be monumental for this team next year and beyond.

Larry Fitzgerald Contract Details, Salary Cap Charges, Bonus Money | Over The Cap
On February 19, 2015 Fitzgerald renegotiated his 7 year $113 million contract. His new contract is worth $22 million over two years and is fully guaranteed. According to Joel Corry, Fitzgerald will receive a $10 million guaranteed roster bonus and has a no trade clause in his contract. The contract contains two automatically voiding years in 2017 and 2018 for salary cap purposes.

It's called sarcasm.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Lol at worrying about a WR turning 30. Apparently every position is RB nowadays when it comes to that...

Actually it might make sense and be true. Unless of course he develops radar lock with a new WR.

Not sarcasm...

you bail a qb out when you say he has radar lock on one receiver... stafford has a advantage when calvin is on the field because defenses are going not to leave him one on 1 so he should have a easy time finding good match ups.. and its troubling that he can not do that.

He will not see the 35 mill from 18' and 19'. Doubt he sees the 2017 money either. As he said he would redo his contract for Suh. A change of heart and not redoing (paycut,not restructure) for some reason, he only carries 4.858 mill of dead money in 17'. I would say bye bye...and spend the 16 mill in savings elsewhere.

I am prolly ranked 3rd from the bottom to bail Stafford out of anything here. I'm labeled a hater for echoing what you just said.

[Microwahevo]

Cap will also continue to rise so these hits may not be as bad going forward. Key words being "may not".

 

[lionstop1]

Lol.

What a terrific hater thread. At 30, Megatron is still better than Suh. And Stafford is far better than what the haters say. How can armchair dudes evaluate players? Lol

 

[lionstop1]

How in the fuck can a fan see where the QBs eyes are from a couch...or a chair...or a rug? Lol
