Marshall extension = Crabtree ceiling

[maniax]

Brandon Marshall just got extended for 3 years $30 million.

If Crabtree gets this kind of deal from the 49ers, I would vomit.

I could see him trying to get it, but unless he has the best year of his career, he won't. At least not from the Niners. If he has a strong year, I could see $8 million/year, but he's got legit health concerns.

I disagree with that article. Marshall is a better player. If he got 10 I can see crabtree at like 8.5 a year.

That's why it says Marshall's contract is Crabtree's ceiling. It's not saying he will get that. It's saying he won't get more than it.

That's all he got?????

Brandon Marshall? What am I missing here? The guy has 218 catches in the last 2 years. That's almost exactly how much money Vincent Jackson's gonna make over the next 3 years. In fact, it's a little less.

23 of that is guaranteed money, so is he just broke or something? Want to guarantee he's going to get paid? This seems low. What am I missing?

Crabtree would need to have an epic season to warrant a contract similar to Marshals, with Boldin Johnson and our conservative Run first offense I don't see it happening.

It actually does seem low for a player of his caliber, I think Seattle is paying Harvin 12 Million a year, Either way its a hell of a good contract for the Bears.

Nice knowin' ya Crabby.

Say no to Mike & yes to Mike! (Crabtree & Iupati respectively).

If anything, this increases the chances Crabtree returns as it's somewhat unlikely any team is going to give him more than Marshall got.

Percy has a sweet contract paying him $13.4 Million this year. It drops into the $12's next year.

I agree.
I don't see $10 M for Crabs.

 

[maniax]

With Boldin at about $6M next year and Stevie Johnson at about $5M next year,
assuming their play doesn't fall off a cliff, having those two WRs makes Crabtree expendable.

I know Im just saying I don't agree with the article. I don't think thats his ceiling. He isn't the same player as Marshall.

 

[purguy12]

Harvin is so overrated. That was a bad contract for Seattle.

Do you think he's better than Marshall? Or will get more than Marshall? You do understand what a ceiling is, right?

$7-8mil would be the max I would give #15 per year, only 1-1,000 yard season and never had double digit Td's, he isnt close to Marshall

No I don't think he is better. Yes I know what a ceiling. Ok I guess a team can give him 10 million if they want to over spend but it would be over paying for a guy. Not that its way off but I have a ceiling at 9 million a year and maybe 15 million Guaranteed. I think that is more realistic.

Now can things change yes. Crabtree catches 100 balls and scores 12 TDs then yes a team might grab him for 10 million but looking at it right now I don't see it.

I guess with the Jets in the league I guess it is a realistic shot at landing 10 million. They love to over pay for players.

I can be wrong. I was wrong about Cano getting that kind of money.

If Crabtree isn't better than Marshall, then it would be reasonable to say that Crabtree will not make more than Marshall. That's what he means by a "ceiling".

I'm not sure why you're saying "I don't think thats his ceiling" while agreeing that Crabs isn't better than Marshall and probably won't make as much as him.
