What I would do with Claiborne after the season

[darthseinfeld]

Give him a Sean Lee deal. Playing time incentives with the ability to get out of it.

With another injury he is going to hard pressed to find a better long term deal elsewhere and that type of deal would be better for him then another 1 year deal

Sounds good to me

You just got promoted to GM.

 

[dagreat1_87]

its likely whats going to happen. He's finally proven he can be a very good player but still hasn't shown he can stay healthy. don't see any other team taking a chance on high guarantees with that

He's gone after this year.

He has taken more money in 4 years then he ever deserved.

You are not going to offer his 1st year contract again..

and he needs to complete a season without an injury to get even a sniff in FA.

 

[visionary]

I can live with that

It still does not account for the fact that when you do that you are counting on an oft-injured player to be the starter
That often backfires because these players get injured and your backup becomes your starter

I have revised my offer down to 5 yrs and 35m with 17m guaranteed

He has earned a big raise and this is basically a two year deal with 3 option years

Signing bonus 10m
2017...... 1m
2018...... 3m
2019.......3m base 9m option bonus
2020.......4m
2021.......5m

I actually hope he gets that. Unfortunately he doesn't even have the track record of Sean Lee (to the upside) when Sean signed that incentivized deal. Don't know if you can say he has he body of work to structure something more compelling than another one year deal. I hope he's able to get something multiyear - even if it's from another franchise. The kid has persevered and shown guts - which is enough (channeling Full Metal Jacket drill sergeant there).

I fear that he might be forced into another prove it deal depending on the long-term prognosis of his health. Fingers crossed.

those last 3 years are a killer.

You just continue to outdo yourself with foolish posts

Why sign anybody, no-matter how talented, who can't be depended on to contribute roughly 40-50% of the time due to injury?

Right brother.

Being arrogant and self-contained is not a way to enjoy our success.

So tell me..you think Claiborne is worth a big deal?

 

[Nightman]

not if he is the starter, 3 yrs 21m will be a bargain

 

[jrumann59]

the only issue is there will be a team that will offer a similar contract that Dallas does but without playing time incentives.

 

[stilltheguru88]

were going to be in a bind regarding corners. Scandrick has one more year of good level play, Carr is gone and Mo will never finish a season. That's Scandrick and Brown from what I see.

Hey at least he's consistent. 6-1 can't unrustle those jimmies.

So he deserves a big raise for playing five and a half games? He has been a total bust for four years and he can't stay healthy. He is injured again, but you want to give him big bucks? I don't see why he deserves very much of a raise at all. If they sign him to a contract similar to Sean Lee's deal, they will still need a good CB on the roster to play while he rehabs his injuries. He has proven time and time again that he is injury prone and can't be depended on to play a full season.

yea, but the 10 million sb you proposed, makes those cap hits 8 million, 9, million and 10 million.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

I figured we would offer him something similar to what we offered mike Jenkins. I don't remember Jenkins being injury prone but I may be wrong. Also using the franchise tag on Claiborne shouldn't be an option. I know we used it at least once on Jenkins.

Slight off topic question:

Jenkins vs Claiborne for their overall body of work of their ENTIRE tenure with the team, who ya got?
