Non Panther big name signing thread

Agreed. Shaffer isn't even good. That's a worse deal than what we gave Foster, although I imagine that Shaffer won't see about $10+ mil of that $35 mil.

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Cleveland Browns OL LeCharles Bentley's new deal with the Cleveland Browns is a six-year, $36 million contract.

K-ROB GETS $10 MILLION IN BONUSES

Sean Jensen also reports that the contract signed by receiver Koren Robinson is worth $12.7 million over three years, with $10 million in bonus money.

Of the bonus money, $5.5 million is guaranteed.

Our guess is that the remaining $4.5 million is in the form of annual and/or periodic roster bonuses aimed at protecting the team against a relapse by Robinson of turdish conduct.

K-ROB GETS $10 MILLION IN BONUSES

That doesn't even make sense. How could $10 million of a $12.7 million contract be in bonus money? Here's what NFL.com says:

"Minnesota re-signed WR Koren Robinson to a three-year, $12.7 million deal that, with options, really is a one-year, $3 million deal."

Sat, 11 Mar 2006 05:41:25 -0800

Mark Eckel, of the Trenton Times, reports the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a deal with free agent OL LeCharles Bentley (Saints). A key member of another team, which also was interested in Bentley, said the Eagles had a deal in place with the center for close to a week, and waited through the several delays to the start of free agency. All the terms of Bentley's deal are not known, but according to the source he will earn a guaranteed $17.5 million over the first three years of the contract. More than half of that money will come in either a signing bonus, a roster bonus or a combination of both. The Eagles are expected to play Bentley at center.
