If that is the return it is pretty good. It is simple accounting. The bonus money is amortized over the length of the deal. So the Ravens get out of his regular pay for 2015 but eat the remaining bonus money they paid a while back.

that was my guestimate a while back.

Yeah they only need 1 in the draft. There has to be a cheap vet out there too.

Ngata isn't like a guy who gets in trouble all the time. But you are right about the downside.

This is why I say trade players to maximize the pipeline of talent coming in. Keep guys that have been ID'd cornerstones but the rest go on the block.

That goes without saying about Fat Albert. Ngata having such a good season and Suh breaking the bank put him in a position to have leverage. I can't fault him.

Did Suggs give money back or just backload?

He better redo his deal soon. They will be forced to make a move soon.

Good pick up by them.

More logic.

Whoever designs the surgery that fixes Turf Toe will be very wealthy.

Pitta and Rice count for about $15 mil on the cap. Rice was already a diminishing player when the vids came out. The Ravens need to be more selective in who they extend new deals. Jones is a loser. He had a run of a few games but looking at his career you could see what he was going to give you. The Ravens will just have to draft a down field threat. If parting with players is done on the Ravens terms then it will mitigate the loss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we-L7w1K5Zo This really sums it up.

No the Suh deal changed the landscape of the position on payroll. It is just like the Haynesworth deal.

So SS isn't a playmaker anymore? Again this is what happens when you enter into bad contracts.

I think this Suh deal precludes Ngata taking a pay cut.

Didn't expect Chi but I did expect him to leave.

Totally agree. What you are talking about is exactly why I don't believe in making big FA splashes. It also gets to my point of trading star talent for picks.

The guy is very good. But I agree that contract is ridiculous.
