Knight of God Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 38 mil, 6 year 16 mile guaranteeThat's not that bad, but it also shows that they are paying for youth and seriously tremendous upside. This is a splash FA move believe it or not.Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysnill1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Welcome to the world of slight overpays for premium talent. First one we've given out this year.you obviously don't understand what Blalock brings to the table. I've seent block his man and then peel back and cover for Baker when he gets beat. if you ever watch Blalock on a play he's pretty much always looking off to his left lol. dude has started all 32 games over 2 years and had 4 sacks and 2 penalties. that fricken all-pro in any language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbsmooth1975 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 He really does not get the credit he deserves. He is the best OL we got. no disrespect to Clabo. Blalock makes Baker look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Wonder how a pro bowl OT feels about getting 13M less than a OG?I guess this surprises me with Mike Johnson on the roster that they would pay so much.It sounds like Reynolds is the guy they are giving Dahl's spot too, so now we have a very good OG talent (that we used a 3rd on) not getting his shot.It will be interesting to see what happens with that RG spor since really Johnson, Reynolds, Hawley and Valdez can all play there.

Voice of Reason Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Wonder how much is backloaded.If it's 6 years, $16 mil guaranteed, but has a huge escalator at the end, it's really only a 5 year, $16 mil with a much lower overall sum.Besides, it's still just over $6 mil a year average (Clabo averages just over $5 mil). Still not a massive payout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandy Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Good for Justin and good for us. I can't forget in '08 how he recovered 2 fumbles for us - one for a touchdown in Minnesota. He's a heads up player. Glad to have him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
