halifaxfalcon Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Very interesting signings by the FO..... But I hope the financials aren't too inflated! The numbers stated for Solai seem quite high, I hope the Asamoah and Jackson contracts are far less significant!Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimitiveJN Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) OVER 5 years $25m for Jackson I believe. Edited March 11, 2014 by ElDragon21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 5/25 for Jackson. On the surface the deals look quite alarming, but our FO has never been in cap trouble so Im sure they know how to structure everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconidae Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 What matters is the guaranteed money- Solai has a 40 mil contract, but only 14 mil guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If there's one thing TD's good at, it's contracts. I have faith he hasn't put us in cap **** for the future. Soliai has quite a small amount of guaranteed money, as stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarterback Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) We paid market price for the talent acquired. This team was not missing a key piece; this defense was in need of several upgrades/additions and we are on our way to accomplishing this. Now, if we can compliment this with a solid draft our front office has accomplished their offseason goal of increasing the talent level across the board, especially the line play. Further, by making theses additions, there will not be the desperation to trade up because we failed in free agency.

I Even Bleed Red Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 My only concern is the big guys we're signing tend to become injury prone as they get older (ex = Soliai). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaFanatic Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Since Soliai is 30 and we gave him 5 years (I'm assuming he won't be on the team being productive at 35) we front loaded the 11 mil now since we have the space this year. I bet it gets really thin over the next few years, and then is backloaded on that last year so we can cut him.This way next year when we re-up with Julio, we won't have Soliai's contract being an albatross.
