[Verdict]

What do you guys think of Heath's contract numbers? (I don't smoke but if I did I would light a cigarette about now and pour myself a drink and then watch the reaction).

Contract Deets:

4 years 7.7 mil

$900 base; 1.8 mil sign bonus; with playing time incentives

Looks like a pretty solid contract to me.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

So twice the min or thereabouts?

 

[plymkr]

Yep, I like it. I like the playing incentives and he got his money at the same time. He's a solid guy and solid ST player.

 

[Nightman]

No one wanted him at 1.6m for 1 year, so we give him 4 years at 1.9m......DAL math

 

[Nightman]

Yep, I like it. I like the playing incentives and he got his money at the same time. He's a solid guy and solid ST player.

You don't draft or extend ST guys.

He is a year to year type.

Overpay 5-10 guys by a million and you have the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[Zordon]

So he's making money on par w/ 5X Special Teams Pro Bowler - Matthew Slater, NE Patriots.

The D in Dallas stands for Dumb.

 

[gmoney112]

Hail mary.

 

[Idgit]

About as expected, right?

 

[rynochop]

Wait, I thought we were a bunch of cheapskates a couple weeks ago, and free agents were leaving valley ranch laughing at our offers

apples and oranges....guys like Heath jump at multi-year deals

So he's making money on par w/ 5X Special Teams Pro Bowler - Matthew Slater, NE Patriots.

The D in Dallas stands for Dumb.

He, Slater, signed his contract extension in 2014...newer years normally mean more money per player.

Slaters numbers on Defense the last three years...

31 tackles
3 assisted tackles
0 Sacks
0 passes defended
0 INTs

Heath's numbers on Defense the last few years

83 tackles
19 assists
0 sacks
3 Forced Fumbles
1 Fumble Recovery
3 INTs

A few dollars more in a few years later of signing a contract....not that much, but easy to act like it is.

 

[Stash]

About as expected, right?

Yeah. I have no issues with those numbers.
