Kellen Winslow's Ridiculous Extension!

[Bob Sacamano]

whoever brought up all the money the Bucs had was probably on point, they have to spend that money, might as well keep a potential malcontent happy with some of it

 

[arglebargle]

Last I heard Winslow wasn't at the Bucs voluntary camp, because it was voluntary. hmn...

I think the Bucs will end up regretting it.

Witten is 26.

It amazes me that people consider a great pass catching TE to be "the best". Winslow, Gates, even Tony G aren't near the completeness of Witten. He's the best TE in the game. I've been saying it for about three or four years now. A lot of people have started to agree with me.

It's amazing that some would still take Gates or Winslow over Witten though.

 

[Clove]

He's only like 27? He's got a few more years at the top before people can even speculate that his skills are declining. Look at Tony Gonzalez, he may have slipped but he's still playing at a high level.

Winslow will never be able to do the blocking that Witten does.

I never said Witten's skills would decline, I said Winslow will be better in a couple of years.

 

[NextGenBoys]

I think he'll be the top TE in a year or 2.

You've got to be kidding me right? I'd take Witten, Gonzalez, and Gates over this clown.

He will NOT block and get physical. He is a receiver. Not a TE. He gets dominated by DE's and OLB's in the few occasions he has to block.

There's more to a TE than catching a ball.

 

[EveryoneElse]

He is by far the most overrated player in the NFL..More than Bob Sanders!

I see what you did there.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Dam, that just got Witten's attention.


We better hope there is no cap in the future.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

If K2 played with P. Manning , he would blow away all TE's statistically.

He has too much talent and skills not too.

You cant teach his skill set

 

[TNCowboy]

Witten's got 4 years left on his deal, so he'll be 31 at his next contract. He takes such a beating that I doubt he'll be an elite player for that long, and certainly not long thereafter.

 

[Longboysfan]

Bucs are like a gajillion under the cap. Does the NFL have a minimum amount that must be spent?

Yes. There is a minimum that has to be spent.

 

[joseephuss]

Witten is only 1 year older than Winslow.

Witten is the best all around TE in the game. Still there is something to be said about the scoring threat that Antonio Gates brings to an offense. Gates is a TD machine and that would help any team. Between Gates and Witten it is a close decision. For me I choose Witten because he already is on my favorite team, but I would not scoff if Gates had been a Cowboy.

Now Winslow is not even in the conversation in my mind. We all know that Winslow doesn't block, but after 5 years in the league he is not even a better receiving threat than Witten. Why is he going to suddenly get better? Winslow will always be second tier to Witten and Gates. Gonzales is also better, but near the end of his career.

 

[burmafrd]

As a total TE Winslow cannot carry Wittens jock. And with his case of DROPSIES last year he went even farther down the list.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

They guy is a playmaker.

 

[irvin4evs]

Winslow doesn't have anything on Gates or Witten. Gates and Witten are THE best.

Witten is going into the 3rd year of a six-year 29million extension.

per rotoworld

7/22/2006: Signed a six-year, $29 million contract extension through 2012. The deal included a $6 million signing bonus and a $6 million option bonus in the second year. 2009: $2.5 million, 2010: $2.641 million, 2011: $3.391 million, 2012: $3.641 million, 2013: Free Agent. Cap charges: $3.5 million (2009), $3.641 million (2010), $4.391 million (2011), $4.641 million (2012).

so basically he got 12 mil guaranteed. I wouldn't worry about Witten's deal for another two years.

Witten's numbers aren't that far off, especially since it was signed 3 years ago and his entire contract was as good as guaranteed.

Winslow is a very good TE, not sure why all the hate. He was injured last year and is a knucklehead but on the field, when healthy, he's very good.

The motorcycle accident ruined him with a lot of people, and deservedly so. He's essentially missed half his career with injury. With that history, it's hard to put him in the upper echelon of anything.

Still, he may very well be the most physically gifted TE in the league. I don't think any other TE - not even Gates - is as difficult to cover downfield. He has WR athleticism.

 

[Avery]

Winslow is one of the better TE's in the league, but he's no Witten or Gates. At least he isn't a total bust like Vernon Davis.
