Stafford's extension was not given to him because he did or didn't deserve it..... It was given to him because the Lions needed cap relief.

Re: McNabb says Stafford hasn’t earned his contract

Stafford pay 2013 under rookie contract: 12.5M salary + 4.6 misc bonuses = 17.4M
Stafford pay for 2013 under contract extension: 4M salary + 8.3 misc bonus = 12.3M
5.1 M loss


Stafford pay 2014 under rookie contract: 11M salary + 4.8 misc bonuses = 15.8M
Stafford pay for 2014 under contract extension: 2M salary + 8 misc bonus = 10M

5.8M loss

Stafford pay 2015 under rookie contract: 15M salary + 2.2 misc bonuses = 17.2M
Stafford pay for 2015 under contract extension: 9.5 salary + 2.2 misc bonus = 11.7M

5.5M loss


17M value was lost from his original contract between 2013-2015

Yeah, but that's hypothetical money that was recouped under the $27.5mil signing bonus, IMO anyway ... plus he gets another 3yrs in Detroit, which you really can't place a monetary value on, .

These contracts make my head hurt ...

Re: McNabb says Stafford hasn’t earned his contract

Well at least he is better value than Flacco.Be interesting to see what numbers Ryan is looking for.The cap will need to rise soon with every QB wanting $15-22ml average.

It's not hypo money, that is real contracted money. You can not count contracted money as hypo unless its based on a requirement other than showing up. His bonuses are counted against this and the cap because they are all "expected to be earned".

I need you to follow this till the end.

With what people think of his skill set and character. Had he finished this contract out, what do you think his 2016 contract would look like? If the 2016 contract "would" look just like this new restructure then the below is true.... If he had winning seasons it would go up.


Combined value of both original contracts is 147.5M if played out.

What he ends up with after the restructure and he plays out the new contract is 115.5M at the end.


The contracting game can be played both ways, and teams usually structure it to get the player to go in the direction they WANT him to go in.

Bree's will be restructured... You think that wont be at a loss somewhere?

Re: McNabb says Stafford hasn’t earned his contract

If for ANY reason Stafford's contract is terminated this year it's 60M in dead money.

It's hypothetical because the last two years of that contract were never realized, nor were they intended to be realized. Anything Stafford loses by restructuring his contract to be more cap friendly appears to have been covered by the signing bonus, IMO.

I don't think for one minute his agent, Tom Condon (who has a reputation in these matters), would allow one of his clients to restructure a contract at a loss of $32mil, do you?

Re: McNabb says Stafford hasn’t earned his contract

It happened.

Condon lost nothing he was paid his %of the first contract and the restructure doesn't change that. Condon doesn't lose .01 if Stafford joins the Taliban tomorrow.

Think about what you just said, Condon wouldn't let him lose money but Condon would let him sign a contract where 2 years of it were moot.... Why?

If you think those last two years are hypo, let that contract stand and Stafford pull a Hernandez next season, lets see of the league considers that dead money hypothetical.

I don't think it did. Professional contracts are a shell game ... now-you-see-it, now-you-don't. Doesn't mean it's not there. Condon wouldn't be a top NFL agent if he was in the habit of making those kind of deals. This is my logic:

- Stafford started out with approx. 6yrs/72mil (42mil guaranteed).

- In year 4, he restructures, foregoing years 5 & 6 of approx. 20mil each, but he is guaranteed 42mil of that contract, so he only didn't realize approx. 30mil of his original contract, not 40mil as it would appear by factoring his year 5 & 6 salaries.

- He is paid a 29mil signing bonus (approx). That covers approx. the 30mil he did not realize in years 5 & 6 of his first contract.

- His new contract is 5yrs/76mil (42mil guaranteed), which is better than 6yrs/72mil, more cap friendly at approx. 15mil a season for the length of the contract, nullifies years 5 & 6 of the original contract and adds a 3yr ext.

I think the money you think he's lost is reflected in the signing bonus (29mil) and the difference (4mil) in both deals.
