That cheap and still better than Heath.

He only started 3 games last year for the Vikings. No one said he's better than Heath. He's now part of the rotation at best.
He can't run at all with receivers and has to play close to the LOS. He's a SS with limited skills in the passing game.

A few people have said he's better than Heath.

I say he's better than Heath.

TC will provide a much better comparison than the "Im so happy we just signed a S crowd".
I look at it this way, at the very least, Im some what satisfied that someone in this organization finally realized that we need to provide some competition at SS.

 

[DFWJC]

Limited risk here.
Smart signing

 

[Alexander]

I guess you can't argue with the cheapness.

 

[DRella]

Safety net in case Berry doesn't sign. Cowboys doing their due diligence on Berry medicals, this signing is insurance or even depth for the bigger move. If not Berry, Safety drafted.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Guess that means no Tank extension

 

[JoeyBoy718]

So now we know what we offered ET.

Do these contract numbers not make any sense to anyone else?

The way I read it is that his contract is 930K but only part of it counts under the "Rule of 51" that only the top 51 salaries count under the cap in the offseason. It also has a bonus that may or may not be "likely to be earned". I would guess its a roster bonus.

I read that as if Iloka makes the team, he gets $1,020,000. If he doesn't, he gets $210,000.

I think it has to do with veterans on 1 yr minimum type deals. It's been a way for aged veterans to hang in the league longer instead of being replaced by rookies on minimum contract despite being better players than the rookies.

 

[DasTex]

Wouldn't be shocked if he is cut before the regular season starts.

More likely he'll be the starting SS than cut.

[Kolemmitt]

I say he's better than Heath.

Me too. Especially at SS.

 

[LittleD]

A few people have said he's better than Heath.

No one who's really studied his game films.

 

[LittleD]

I say he's better than Heath.

Really? Have you studied his games when he's a significant liability in the passing game. I agree that
he can tackle and move along from sideline to sideline. I suggest he's not going to be in a bunch on passing
downs.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I love how we are all quick to criticize the Jones boys' cheapness, until their method works.

Solid signing, solid contract.

 

[xwalker]

Well that guy certainly earns it!

Exactly, its a pillow contract but that 90K bonus is basically the Christmas bonus for the liquor restocking guy gets for working on Jerry's yacht.

Jerry's liquor restocking guy is probably the hardest working of all of Jerry's employee's...

That's a 24/7 job.
