@JasonLaCanfora: Sam Shielfs gets $12.5M to sign and $15M in 2014, in total. Makes $21M over 1st 2 yrs of deal and $30M over the first 3 years. bigtime money

I hope captain isn't expecting that.

$12.5 million signing bonus?!  Imagine how much Greg Hardy is asking for?  now wonder we haven't agreed to a long term deal with Kraken yet.

After Arron Rogers deal now this..kiss BJ Raji goodbye GB.. Clay Matthews too.

It still inflates Captian's cap figure unfortunately...but Cap is not a number 1 guy or has the cvg skills Shields has.

Id love to see what Talib gets..im sure NE was thinking a whole lot less than this.

Just like an increase in the Federal minimum wage, an increase in the salary cap doesn't mean anything to a cash strapped team. All the teams are getting the same increase and the median value of the whole still has to be spread amongst 53 players. Until our current contracts are under control we are not able to compete for top tier free agents with salary cap increase monies.

As much as i do agree and as much as we may think he's not a number one, Cap is still better than about 3/4's of the starters in his position currently. And until someone out plays him on whatever team he ends up with he will still be considered a number 1.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
