No, his brother got that much money... We got Mike for a ton less.

 

4 years 9.2 million. About half of his brother.

 

Glad he got signed before the pads went on. With all the lockout b.s. no one has a stomach for holdouts this year, not even agents. lol. No time to lose.

Actually, does anyone know how rigid the rookie pay scale is? Maybe there is SO little room to negotiate that it is no longer worth having rookies hold out (from the agents/players perspective).

 

great news. how many of our picks are left unsigned? Or was he the last one.

 

I think he was the last one.

 

He was the last one standing. Irish didnt **** around this year.

 

He was the last important one, anyways.

 

HE was THE last one.

That's it.

 

i dont think we'll ever see a rookie holdout ever again. The only reason these guys werent all signed weeks, maybe even months ago, was because of the cba agreement. I bet from this point forward all rookies will be signed within a month of getting drafted.

Theres no reason to holdout, under the new agreement players can only get a certain amount and that's it. Unless you're gonna pull an Eli Manning I guess.

 

I think you are 100% spot on. This is one of the best aspects of the new CBA. The big money will only go to the veterans who have earned it on an NFL field

 

The one thing I can say about Ireland is that he does a great job of gettin the rookies signed quick.

 

everyone is signing quick, there is a rookie wage scale this year. Newton just signed a contract for 30 million guaranteed less than bradfords contract from last yr.

 

Wow, no "good! now get your *** to work!" posts...I guess I'll have to restore balance to the force.



It's about damn time! Now get your fat, bum *** to work!
