Tremaine Edmunds contract comparison


Buffalo_Stampede

Recommended Posts

For better or for worse, Edmunds is 5 years younger than Campbell. I think the answer (and the crux of the debate about him as a player in general, really) depends on what you think of his ability to continue developing. 

 

Given a rising cap, I'd bet on him continuing to develop and say yes.

Yes, but the whole $12.7m thing will make this impossible.  He’s not gonna sign for less than $12.7m per year 

 

So he's gauranteed 12.7 million for this year.  That doesn't mean that he won't sign for less than that on a long term deal.  Can easily structure something so that he gets more money up front or over the first 2 years AND it lowers his overall cap hit early on.

As someone who has been very critical of Edmunds, yes, I would extend him at $10M/yr.

$50M with probably half of it guaranteed, is far better than only $12.7M. I wouldnt say it's impossible.

 

The only thing here is that I wouldnt want Edmunds on a 5 year deal, more like 3.

 

But in general, the money is right.

He’s 23.  No agent who wants another client is gonna let him sign for less per year than his 5th year option.

Would you do this contract right now?

 

 

 

 

 

Structure-wise........that could be A LOT of different things.   5 years for a veteran LB is an intentionally long deal to spread out the hit.

 

My guess is that it's more like a 2 year $15M deal.
