[NeonNinja]

Great news.

I saw 7 mil per year on twitter...

Sean Lee's deal: $7.0M per year with playtime escalators to $8.5M per year, thru 2019

this according to Albert Breer

That is pretty expensive. More money than Patrick Willis. If true, we overpaid.

$8.5 million per year if he rides an escalator. Seems weird, I know.

 

[Tezz]

Im okay with the contract for a good player, but I would have preferred if they waited until the end of the year as I dont see it as a steal type deal and wanting to see Lee play a full season.

Patrick Willis got 10 million a year, Lee is getting 7.

There is not a player in the NFL that is guaranteed to play a full year. This game is not marbles.

Patrick Willis got 10 million a year, Lee is getting 7.

5/4/2010: Signed a seven-year, $53.51 million contract. The deal contains $29 million guaranteed, including a $15.5 million signing bonus and a $4.8 million "supersede" signing bonus in the second year. Willis is eligible for annual $1.25 million workout bonuses in years three through seven. 2013: $$715,000 (+ $1.687 million "signing" bonus), 2014: $5.285 million, 2015: $7.065 million, 2016: $7.935 million, 2017: Free Agent

The future is looking bright! He'll be the leader of this defense for years to come.

I think that I would have rather wrapped up Dez now and gotten Lee a little later but this looks like a good contract

Screw Patrick Willis!

 

[Corso]

To soon.

This is what happens when you draft well.
You get to keep good players without dipping too deep into the well in free agency.
Which is an oxymoron- there is nothing free about "Free Agency".

 

[elcocinero]

Only a $10 million signing bonus for Lee. That's freaking spectacular. Great Deal.

Overpaid? For the face of our defense for the next seven years. I think not.

Screw Patrick Willis!

Totally! We got Lee!

 

[17yearsandcounting]

I'd like to see him play an entire season before I join the chorus here. Isnt this what Jerry always does? Premature extension followed by disaster?

Im not sure where you're getting your information since you didn't link a source, but i have about 7 different articles from a 5 second google search that say it was a 5 year, 50 million dollar extension.. not a 7 year extension.

 

[unionjack8]

bowman got 45 over 5

I did not mean to quote laythewood28 on that reply.
Consider yourself blessed.

 

[CowboysLegend365]

Yeah IF healthy Lee would have gotten 8.5/per offers in Free Agency. Keep the heart of our D here.
