Contracts that end in 2017 that entice me to extend them?
Major Contracts:
WR Justin Blackmon
DT Evander Hood
K Tyler Bernard
DE Rob Ninkovich
RB Toby Gerhart
TE Owen Daniels
TE Jermaine Gresham
FS Tavon Wilson
CB Ellis Lankster
CB Johnathan Joseph
C Nicky Fitzgerald
LS Grayson Johnstone
RG Brandon Linder
SLB Telvin Smith
That’s not any of our major guys, but it’s a lot of our depth and such.
I extend Brandon Linder by a year, at almost min sal levels.
I’d like to extend Nicky Fitzgerald, but I’d have to make a big commitment to it (to around 4-5 mill a year) for a 46/46 Center. That’s worth it at all.
Hmmm…
Should I keep Nicky? I got a couple of trade offers for Nicky a while ago. I rejected them, but there is a market here. Maybe I could move Nicky and commit to Pearson, and then sign another C from Free agency. That way I don’t lose the time I invested in Nicky Fitzgerald.
Let’s see if anyone is even interested. And what it would cost.
No one is interested. Ah well.
I’d love to extend FS Tavon Wilson, but I’d have to increase his salary to 3.5 cap hit this year to do it for 3.8 next. Not too bad, but he’s 1.8 this year, and I’d only get one more year out of him.
I extend Blackmon’s deal instead.
2017 - 4.75 mill
2018 – 5.2 mill
2019 – 5.4 mill
2020 – 6.7 mill
And now we have all three receivers locked up, and Bortles as well. Yay offense!
If we don’t spend our remaining cap money on injury replacements, I can resign FS Tavon Wilson later. We have 2.5 mill right now left after extension’s
