6 years $60 million GUARANTEED...Possibly worth up to $126 million...I'm really surprsied at those numbers...
Such hate surrounding this signing based on assumptions. AngeLakeRam posted the truth. This deal is significantly easier to get out from under compared to, say, the Bradford deal. If you look at it closely, he basically has agreed to earn his pay as opposed to being paid before he produces. This is a brilliant contract that I bet more franchises model big contracts after from here on out.
LOL....so if they cut him your team isn't getting screwed over as bad. My question to you is what happens if his performance is just mediocre (aka Sam Bradford) and he remains on the team? Hmmm.... some guys just tend to slack off just a little bit once they get paid. Take a look at what his CAP #s are now till 2020. WOW!!!!

Good points Dredinis. Have you factored into this discussion the effects injuries may have on his performance in the future?
No, because it is not a reasonable concern...meaning that there is no way to logically guestimate whether that would occur, like I could, say, an increase in YPC, avg YPG, etc. after getting a healthy Crabtree, Stevie Johnson, and Brandon Lloyd into the WR mix. Those are HUGE improvements at the WR position that I could easily and reasonably guess would have something to do with the kind of passing numbers I would expect out of Kap.
Based on how he handles himself on the field, injury is not a huge concern for me. He is not Vick, where when he runs, he tries to initiate contact. He's actually very good about getting out of bounds and only taking what the defense gives. If he is hurt, it probably won't be because he dove headfirst into a LB.
