Matt Leinart's agent expects $30 million guaranteed in his rookie contract

Matt Leinart's agent expects $30 million guaranteed in his rookie contract.
He's telling the Saints or any other possible suitor that they better be ready to pay before selecting him. Alex Smith received $24 million guaranteed in 2005 as the top pick.

When did Leinart hire the Postons?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Or they could save about 29 million and sign me

 

[CowboyMark]

This is ridiculous. Paying millions and millions of dollars to rookies who havn't done nothing in the nfl. College sports is one thing. Going pro is another. I believe you have to perform atleast for one season before you can cash that kind of money. Though I don't blame Matt for asking that much.

 

[GTaylor]

Right around 20% difference, not that bad when you consider the jump in salary cap.

 

[Vinnie2u]

They can have me, But i'm not playing for less than 27 mil.

 

[Da Hammer]

another reason from a long list for Vince Young to be drafted 1st

 

[TheHustler]

The funny thing is he won't be the top pick....

 

[burmafrd]

Kind of glad we do not have a high pick this year- those guys in the first 5 are going to want a LOT of money.

Houston doesnt need a WR, they already have Andre Johnson

Matt Leinart's agent is going to push his client down the Draft faster than a bobsled on ice if he keeps that up. Unless a team gets up to #1 or #2 overall, he's not going to get that at #3. Tennessee would be wise to ask Young and Cutler what their demands are.

In other words, not very bright ace.

 

[DallasCowpoke111]

I thought his agent was Lee Steinburgh <sp>?

hell pay me half of urs and then can have my services

 

[felix360]

sniff....sniff.... does anyone smell a rivers near by, well this tells me that he's going to stink in the nfl, and alex smith go that kind of money at number 1

 

[Dave_in-NC]

They need to set a Rookie maximum. This is why it cost tons of money to get seats at a game you dont need binoculars for.

 

[Rude]

Thats too much..........BUT if Alex "future bust" Smith can get 26 million, then so can matt.

 

[Da Hammer]

Houston doesnt need a WR, they already have Andre Johnson

actually they do need a WR opposite johnson but your right with Young at QB the Texans would only need Johnson. Young to Johnson all day

 

[junk]

Sounds like Young's agent is pretty inexperienced. Draft him and get a Masta P/Ricky Williams deal.

 

[DanTanna]

Rikki's deal was incentive laden and it blew up in his face. No way Forrest Young/6 falls into that trap - getting paid by performance.
