It may be that TD is willing to give him a 'decent' contract with a good chunk of guaranteed money up front, or a 'good' contract with less guaranteed money up front. If that's the case, I wonder if the the hangup is Free's camp wants both, which seeing how TD deals, not likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true, I really don't see that happening with TD. At least not the 5 yr 50mil AND the 12 guaranteed. Could be wrong though, so we'll see.

shockerfalcon Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Wouldn't 10 mil per year make him the highest paid RB in the league? I expected him to come in somewhere between 6-8 with 15-20 guaranteed Edited August 1, 2017 by shockerfalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 It's a little more than I would have liked to see be dedicated to the position but honestly, he's worth it. He's out there right now having the best camp he's ever had too according to reports. All while in a contract dispute. That's the kind of man you want in your locker room. Give me Freeman over Bell. At least as a leader and a team mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected him to come in somewhere between 6-8 with 15-20 guaranteed Yea, if you don't count Bell's tag. Why did you expect him to come in between $6-8MM? Based on Spotrac, Lesean McCoy is the highest non-tagged paid RB at $8MM per year. He signed that in 2015. In 2015, the salary cap was $143MM. In 2017, the cap will be $167MM, or a 17% increase. Increase McCoy's contract 17% and you get....$9.36MM. You paying Freeman in the $6-8MM range is essentially saying he's no better than guys like Lamar Miller or Chris Ivory or Doug Martin. Simple math guys. The cap goes up. Contracts go up. What used to be $6-8MM is now $9-11MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 That would be stupid he wouldn't come close to that on the open market nothing over 61/2 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherdome Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I think that the contract will make Freeman the highest paid RB for the next two seasons, but will be flexible enough to dump after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
