HIT BY SPIKES Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Last Year, Efe Obada signed a 1 year, $1,500,000 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $300,000 signing bonus, $800,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,500,000. The below is from ==> https://overthecap.com/player/efe-obada/3831/ Career Earnings: $3,475,200 Career APY: $579,200 Potential Earnings: $3,455,400 Total Guarantees: $650,000 Largest Cash Payment: $1,500,000 (2021) Largest Cap Number: $1,485,294 (2021) I believe he is now 30 so he is looking for his likely last contract. Started late, never went to college and has a huge ceiling at 6'6" and 265 lbs. Obada was part of that NFL International Program. He is a beast of an athlete. Hungry for that one sizeable contract. With very limited playing time and a short history of development he produced the numbers that he did the past 2 years -- one in Buffalo. The trend is clear. He is going to learn more and better pass rushing moves. He will get 10 sacks with more playing time. He flashed in his 1st season with us. He only played 8 games and got 3.5 sacks in his first year in our system. Play him 17 games next year and he gets 10 sacks for the Bills. Why NOT lock him up for 3 years at $15M total? I know, it sounds like a lot of money. However, other teams watch video. They will see a guy who looked raw. Who flashed. Who has a high ceiling. Let me structure the contract for you: Term ==> 3 years Total ==> $15M Signing Bonus ==> $5M 1st Year Base ==> $2M 2nd Year Base ==> $4M 3rd Year Base ==> $4M Dead Cap Hit After One Year ==> $3.3M He will get much more than that as a Free Agent. Every team is looking for pass rushers. 7 Solo Tackles + 3.5 sacks in very limited playing time. With more playing time, he is starting to show some real results at 29 years old. Crap!!! He is only now learning pass rushing moves. Sign him for 3 years and $15M total -- $5M Signing Bonus plus base of $2M in 2022, $4M in 2023 and $4M in 2024. He will be 32 years old at the end of that contract and you see what his results are playing every game. Thoughts? 5 1 2 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Beyond multiplying playing time by past results, what did you see that gives you that red-hot poker to the heiney kind of excitement about him? I was/am cheering for him, but I didn't feel any, 'Oh, this guy is GOOD' vibes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I was 100% sold on bringing him in last year. And I do think he made a couple plays but also was manhandled. He had his shot at making an impact on an elite defense and did not show enough to get a multi year deal imo. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'll take him for $1.5 again. He has value at that number. Or, an even better use of that $1.5, use it to help sign Chandler Jones. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yeah, nah, Obada does not deserve a contract with any resemblance to the structure you provided. He's a depth guy, nothing more. If he wants to come back on another $1.5M deal? Sure. That was the largest contract he's ever gotten and he should be happy to receive anything like it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
