Yeah he is 75-90 million with 35-45 guaranteed. The ladies will be lined up and JJ will need to assign him someone to stay straight. Hopefully the kid can keep it straight and lead his team to a SB.

If it’s a 6 year extension and it means 8 years total including this one. Then he would be 31 during the last season of the contract.

But yeah it depends how it’s worded.

Of course if all the guarantees are done and paid in 4 years. It makes him cuttable when he is about 28 which is what I am hoping for.

This is a big win for Zeke in my opinion. If he went shorter, hes not getting 15 million a year at 30, 31, 32 on the free agency market.

Again, that’s if he ever sees that money.

If his production drops off and he is cut when he is 28 years old. He wouldn’t see that money.

That’s why we really need to know the structure of the guarantees to know how long until the team can cut him painlessly.

Either way I think signing the deal
Now is a win for Zeke. RB’s are onto the fact that owners want to run them into the dirt and discard them as soon as possible.

Plus, you don't get guaranteed money when suspended, so it may get even cheaper. ;)

They can cut him if needed. Only about $40 million is guaranteed.

Looks like the deal is done, too many different people reporting it so.

I said last week I felt he would be on the field for the Giants game, but I'm not saying "I told you so", unlike some here I never said that definitely that would be the case, just that's what I expected.

Nice to be right, but it's gotta work out in the long run, and that's still an unknown....

He will never live up to this contract although I hope he does.


Anyways, we can resolve ourselves again to the fact that we won’t be bringing in any free agents again next year- you know, so we don’t have to waste our time
