5 year deal.....signed through 2013....i love it... get him an extention if he plays #1 overall worthy
Here you go: Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that tackle Jake Long will receive $30 million guaranteed as part of his five-year, $57 million deal with the Miami Dolphins
He better be the second coming for that money.............however, I hope he becomes the next Tony Manderich
No smoke screens, no tricks.. Parcells must be getting to old for all that. I hope they are right. They are getting him signed early so they must feel pretty strong about him being there guy. I also think it means that they really like some DE/LBS in the second or third round. If there is one position Parcells knows on a football team its DE/LBs
Well Bill should be happy, he got Jake for less than #1 last year. Wayne should be extremely happy because Jake will be reporting for the start of camp! Lets hope the rest of our picks sign no problem too
How is that? Didnt Russell sign for 29 million guaranteed and a 6 year deal? I think this is the right pick but did we get a deal like it was rumored we were going to do?
"Russell signed a six-year, $61 million rookie contract that guarantees him $32 million." "...reach certain offensive targets and victory totals, Russell could earn as much as $68 million over the life of the six-year contract. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/09/11/SPO4S3G48.DTL
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Jake Long's five-year deal is worth $57.5 million with $30 million guaranteed. Long gets to hit free agency more quickly than JaMarcus Russell. For that, he but he will get $2 million less in guaranteed money and $3.5 million less in total money. The Dolphins didn't have a ton of leverage over Long, as his agent also represents Vernon Gholston, their fallback choice. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/home_NFL.aspx
