How much money do you think Carl Nicks will get?

Just curious what kind of contract everyone thought he would get. I don't have the rankings in front of me but I believe for the most part of the season, Nicks graded out higher than Evans. If fact I recall for the first 8 weeks, he was the highest graded(if not top 5) in the entire league. But just thinking about the money... wow. Times have changed and G's makes as much if not more than T's these days.

It all goes back to the quick stike, quick release 3-step drop offenses that render the outside rush negligible.

Thats why you'll see DT's start making as much as DE's.

Its also why I think the 4-3 will prove to be slightly better base scheme than the 3-4 over the next few years. Of couse the main deciding factor is the alignees, not the alignment.
