Insane In The Membrane!!!

$20M signing bonus.

Jeepers creepers.

Makes you wonder what Deion would get in this day

A lot of money for an o guard.. do you need the best guard in the league? Or would 75% of that be fine at a quarter of the salary

You are never getting a 75% player at 1/4 of the salary. Do you realize how backwards that is or did you just type it without thinking? So you think you are getting a top quality guard for 6 years at 21 million?

Exactly. That post was not thought out, obviously.

Zach Martin is a 1st team all pro player.

75% of that would be at least a replacement pro bowl player type.

There is no way you can get a replacement pro bowl player type for only 1/4 Zach’s salary.

Exactly.........Why settle?

We still have 15m in cap space AFTER he signed

Some easy restructures built in there that Dallas can use if needed. The way our cap is looking, though, I don't think it will be necessary but it's always good to have the option.

Unless you draft one. Probably take a 2nd rounder, but it would be far less than 1/4 of the salary.

Not sure why people are upset with this signing. The Cap is going up every year, we will have a ton of cap $$$ next off season (somewhere around $70 million) and we have to spend at least 90% of the cap every season (CBA rule). We kept our oline in tact and we drafted a stud to help improve it. I love the signing!

Ton of money for a guard.

Good gawd -- seven years at 93.41 million smackeroos. I'll bet he can't stop smiling lately. I'm pretty sure I would. Must be nice!

I like how the stock ticker has green arrows in the background.

Thanks for posting the info.

Seems like the signing bonus cap hit will start im 2018. Then after the 5 years his base salary escalates a bit which shouldnt be a problem for us.

My goodness.
