Carl Nicks Contracts, Salaries, Cap Hits, & Transactions So in 2012 Drews new contract opened up 1.3M and Nicks went from 2.6M in 2011 to 14.8M in 2012 +10.2 million Dollars. That is = to Jhari Evans and Colston combined. 17M Cap hit is too much for Drew but 15m is ok for a guard? Sorry, not buying that crapola. |

2012- 15 million 2013- 3 million 2014- 9 million 2015- 10 million 2016- 10 million Basically he's a 9 million/year O-lineman. |

Re: Offensive Line (educational)
The Center has to have the highest football IQ of all the linemen. This had always been the standard.

Re: Offensive Line (educational)
De la Puenta is our Center by default... not skill.
He became the starting Center when Kreutz retired mid season in 2011. before that he played for Seattle x2, San Francisco x2, Carolina, and Kansas City all in a matter of 4 years. Never Starting until Kreutz got hurt and retired. |
