Cards Resign Peterson 5 yrs 70 Mil (48 guaranteed)

DaddyM89 : 7/30/2014 12:01 am
That is just unreal. Thats franchise quarterback money. Starting to get worried if Prince has a good year hell make 10-11 next year.
Prince may make $10-$11 mill per  
section125 : 7/30/2014 12:05 am : link
but it won't be from the Giants.
There's very little chance Prince sees that type of money  
Ten Ton Hammer : 7/30/2014 12:16 am : link
Prince is a solid corner, but he's not a ridiculous athlete or a turnover-creator like Peterson or Sherman. And he's not the cover man of a Revis or Sherman either.

Even slightly, than Joe Haden and Sherman, both who are better corners.

Peterson's ability to return helps him, though.

Prince is a good, up & coming CB, but I doubt he gets in the vicinity of Peterson $.

what our FAs will GET on the open market are almost always wrong and at times far off..LinJo is the latest of such miscalculations..

And btw,

PP is imo the best CB in football
Peterson  
stretch234 : 7/30/2014 7:08 am : link
He just turned 24 and this contract extends him to 2020. The entire contract is up when he is 30.

If they waited until he was actually a FA in 2 years he would cost more

Beason too.

This contract seems fine. The 48 guarantee is only for injury. Kyle Brady's contract also had a big injury guarantee that didnt apply to skills decline. Maybe this is the new trend (or old and I missed it). Overall, 70 for 5 years starting with the 2016 season doesnt seem like a bad deal for AZ. NFL revenues have been skyrocketting for 20 years. Cap has gone from 34 million in 1994 to 134 million in 2004. Cap should easily be more than 175 or 200 come the end of Peterson's deal.
The tough decision for the Cardinals will be Larry Fitzgerald.

Although a restructure bought some time, his 2015 cap hit is well over $20MM, with an $8MM roster bonus. He hasn't been "that guy" for a couple of years.

Your ok with $14 mill per for a CB? 10% of the cap to a CB? Triple DRC. He's worth 3x DRC?

This deal doesnt kick in until 2016. And of course you cant take an NFL contract that has a list value of 70 over 5 and just assume that it is equal payments of 14, 14, 14, 14, and 14. You need to look at the actual structure of the contract. But in a world where the cap is $200 million (circa 2020?), $14 million is not a lot for an elite CB. And if he isnt elite, he doesnt see the end of this deal.

Elite players get paid. Period.

Giants probably shouldn't give Prince  
Jimmy Googs : 7/30/2014 10:52 am : link
$48 million guaranteed.

$47.5 tops...

I just looked it up. $23,600,000 for Fitz next year, as a cap hit. $14.4 dead $ if they cut him. How could they have done this? That seems like a huge blunder. Maybe they restructure him?
Prince's AV will come in around half of PP's deal  
JonC : 7/30/2014 11:20 am : link
Perhaps $8M if he has a big 2014 season.

Ahem, I was pretty close on LJ.

I'd take PP over Haden and Sherman, his AA and ceiling are elite and he's still a kid on the ascent.
I like Prince...  
BillKo : 7/30/2014 11:28 am : link
he's solid, but he's not in the class of Peterson. The guy is dynamic, and returns punts as well.
Peterson will not return punts or  
madgiantscow009 : 7/30/2014 6:35 pm : link
play offense anymore and he struggles mightily against a few other WRs like Michael Crabtree. A top 5 CB, but not as consistent as some others. #1 cb in terms of athleticism.
