Rams | Turley Gets An Extension - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
18:14 PT: Updating previous reports, Len Pasquarelli reports for ESPN.com St. Louis Rams OT Kyle Turley agreed to a five-year contract extension that is worth $26.5 million in so-called \"new money.\" The deal includes combined guaranteed money, between the signing bonus and other payments, of $12 million. The extension segment of the contract moves Turley to among the four highest paid offensive linemen in the league.

he\'s saying orlando pace is gonna be lined up at left tackle? i thought pace wanted to be traded out of st. louis. i seriously doubt they will pay that 85 million dollar contract with a 23 million dollar signing bonus.

They shot themselves in the foot with the huge contract they gave Turley. Pace\'s agent will now demand at least 50% more money than Turley got - Pace plays left tackle, has been in St. Louis his whole career and is basically a better player.
Offensive linemen have gotten too little respect in the past, but right now they are getting a little too much IMHO.

Saints got what they could. Turley was a goner after next year if he stayed anyways. Bottom line...if someone doesn\'t wanna be here they need to be gone.

A - they signed Turley just like we signed Gandy. That\'s a signal if you ask me. Pace and his $23 million bonus demand are gone.

B - I agree completely with lumm0x from his other post. The Saints very well could have agreed in principle with the Patriots on a 2nd rounder in \'04 for Jones. That way, the Saints get rid of the Turley headache and can possibly pick up Jones without affecting their current draft position. Good move, if that\'s what happens.

i have returned.... been gone for a few days, n this is the first news ive gotten of turley being traded. i think the move is good and bad. good that we got rid of our problem player, and bad in that we only got a 2nd rounder in next years draft. is the pick conditional? if no one knows, ill find out soon enough, im glad he is gone tho, im ready for some drafting to go on, on that topic.... i think the players that we will pick up in the draft always have a solid chance to start on our team and make a solid contribution and im lookin forward to seeing what happens with those new players
