Eatman: With Market Set After Berry’s Deal, What This Means For Church
http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2017/02/28/eatman-market-set-after-berry’s-deal-what-means-church
...As it turned out, the Cowboys got the better end of the deal as Church has been a defensive captain and one of the leading tacklers on this team despite having more than 40 players at his position earning more money.
Needless to say, he is probably going for the money this time around, and I can’t say I blame him.
The question is, what’s the market for him? He just turned 29 and had a broken arm last year, but hasn’t really dealt with many injuries since the torn Achilles four years ago. My guess is that he probably works himself into the range of the top 10, which would be considerably more than $7 million per season.
Depending on how the deal is structured with the guaranteed money, the Cowboys could be players in that market, but they’re going to likely want to stretch out the contract for more years so they can backload the deal...
