@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.

...but Cap is not a number 1 guy. . .

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.

      Is Tua our next QB?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I watched him on many occasion....hes more of a Berlin, Brad Johnson thang.  Not gonna kill you but smart with throws... thats why I said 5 yrs max. Better than anything we have now by a wide margin  and better than anything in the next draft. We would kill anything good he had.

      My dream trade for a "vet" would be Joe Milton.

      It's a shot in the dark like it is with most QBs.  I just know he has played in the NFL for what 4 years now?  Learned under Shanahan, McCarthy, and now Harbaugh.  He has has 143 attempted passes and 65 carries in this league during the regular season.  He checks everything you want physically.  It could be a fun option to watch while we keep building this roster and look at drafting a future QB.  I still wouldn't hold my breath on it but it's interesting and a cheap option.
