Cliff Avril 4 Year Extension

UConn4523 : 12/19/2014 12:43 pm
Seahawks signed DE Cliff Avril to a four-year, $28.5 million contract extension through 2018 with $16 million guaranteed pre Rapoport on Twitter (Rotoworld).

While not completely apples to apples since he was already under contract, its somewhat of a barometer when discussing JPP.
this was the last year of Avril's deal

That's much lower than I thought he'd get. Maybe there's a chance of resigning JPP for 4 yrs/$40M or so.
UFA in 2015 - ( New Window )
JPP will push for 5

but even at 5 i'd sign up for 5/40 with half guaranteed.

Thought Avril had 1 year left, but that's big news if he was an impending FA. He's older, but still, he's incredibly important for Seattle.
I'd even be fine with giving JPP 5/$50-55M

I'm worried he'll be looking for something closer to Watt's deal though. More like 7 yrs/$14 per.
I'd wager 5/50 is a potential middle ground for JPP

otherwise it only takes one team (read : Daniel Snyder) to impulsively decide to gamble and go higher and swipe him away. I'm curious to also see if NYG can manage to incentivize the deal in a way to keep JPP motivated to perform in the future.

He's not getting Watt money, not worried about that. He may take that into his meetings but he's not making that money with even the most desperate of teams.

I won't bother saying where i'd be happy with him signing since we have no idea who else will be available or what the market truly is, but the Avril deal is promising and i'm a bit more optimistic now.
Jerry's got more important stuff to attend to than

signing JPP or Prince long-term. He got us a DT to play fullback for the practice squad this week, ya know.
Can thank Idzik for that one and K.J. Wright

Without the Percy trade (and shedding all that salary), no way Avril and Wright get extended. Way to go Jets!!!
Interesting that it is the

same exact contract that they gave to Michael Bennett last year.
