Hitchcock extends for 260M
Maassluis Merchantmen fans can go back to sleep at night, worrying is no longer necessary. Today, the Merchantmen called a press conference in which Kirk Hitchcock's new five-year contract worth $260 million with a $67 million signing bonus. Hitchcock had been holding out since the end of the draft, but signed the new deal just in time for training camp.

Hitchcock was happy, although signed for a $23 million cap figure this season, it will make him the highest paid cornerback in each of the next four seasons.

Merchantmen management was relieved. The release of no less than five veteran players was required to find the cap room for this new contract. "Tough decisions, but Hitchcock is the future of this defense," said general manager M.IJ.B..

After this deal, the Merchantmen have roughly $4 million left in cap space, which they will likely need to extend quarterback Ellis McAlister's contract, who once again is in the final year of contract.
