Bill Swerski Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Holy crap, D-linemen are getting some serious cash now! If Freeney got $72 million last year, I imagine that Tommie Harris will command close to $80 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldan21 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 ESPN just did a little bit on this. They (Chris Carter, Stink and some other guy) said they'd never heard of him, dogged him and the Raiders for about 3 mins, and ended it by saying "We aren't hating on you.". Maybe ESPN should invest less time into planning their DisneyLand vaca, and do some dammed research. I'm no broadcaster, or analysts, but I can tell you about Tommy Kelly. I can also tell you he isn't worth what he just got, but I could do it a lot more respectfully than these turds just did. -DD21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more anger towards Al Davis than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 It's a lot of money for a guy coming off an ACL injury, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It's a lot of money for a guy coming off an ACL injury, too. It's yet another horrible mark Al Davis has made in the past few years... Err, nearly a decade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalboyd Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 While everyone is going crazy. Has anyone noticed the money is going higher each year. Lets say Al Davis is right. He wait till he come off injury and gave him a one year deal. It could easily be worth 60-70 next season for that same contract. The money is going to keep going up for him or any other player. And we are just starting to see the crazy numbers. Wait till Briggs, Berrian, Samuels and those other big names get signed. We haven't seen nothing yet.

No way should Kelly ever be the highest paid player at a position... Even if healthy. You lost me when you said "Lets say Al Davis is right"...

Giants56 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Wow... http://blog.nj.com/ledgergiants/2008/02/tu...ct_details.html Tuck's was actually a five year extension so he is signed through 2013. (Holy crap, I can't believe I'm talking about the year 2013) In fairness he has $16 million guaranteed and I believe Kelly got $18 million guaranteed so Kelly's deal may look more inflated than it is but I'm quite happy having Tuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I was reading that Kellys versatility was a big factor. But still... crazy money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
