Cardinals and Fitzgerald Agree on New Deal

[Bill B]

What was the guranteed portion of Nate Clements deal with the 49ers? I know the total of Clements deal was $80 million or so, but how much of Clements contract is guranteed? It's the guranteed portion that counts because almost always players will neve see the ecessive back end of the deals made now.

Also to follow up on Bill B's point, these guys have to pay for agents along with security services(not just bodyguards but private cars when needed for safety) when they decide to go out to the store, vacation, etc etc. Also they probably need to eat more nutritious natural foods which cost more due to the standard of preparation.

While I agree many players spend lavishly, there are some large fixed costs that come with the occupation us common folk forget about.

Contract is rediculous...he had them over the barrel when he hit those performance escalators. He was due 30 mil in the next 2 years anyway and he's too good to cut or trade. He forced their hand on a 4 year deal which will put him in free agency at like 28...dude is set up.

I agree. He's a good WR that I didn't wanna have to see the Skins line up against. Glad he's staying over there.

3 things I worried about this offseason.

Moss in the NFC EAST
Fitzgerald in the NFC EAST
Skins making dumb free agent decisions.

So far....things are lookin' pretty good!!

So, how do we keep Roy Williams from going to Philly? LOL. I must say I had the same concerns.

I think Roy Williams to Philly talk is going to start heating up now

I just cant see RW in an Eagles uniform. I don't know but I think he will be too much $$$ for the Eagles. I think they would be stupid to give up a high draft pick for him given the WR talent in the draft.

I bet if I had a mustache, this wouldnt have gone down like this. boobity boppity!
