Interested Neophyte.

I’m new to the site. This, and other posts, have piqued my interest. How close to actual negotiations are the exchanges in this post?

For what it’s worth, it seems to me that the positional requirements of a quarterback and defensive lineman are so different that a “Mario Williams” starting point makes the most sense. I think Suh deserves a premium over prior years defensive first rounders as he was the best player on a defensive powerhouse. Also, would the parties consider a few intangibles in their negotiations: 1) Suh seems to be a good locker room guy, 2) if St. Louis is the team, it makes good sense from a marketing perspective to (Suh being a Cornhusker).

Thanks!

This is a very solid contract. However, I’d like the 5th year added in and not an option.

You can try RotoWorld.com…type in the player’s last name in the search box and go to the his individual page. Then it should have contract details.

Just curious as to where you are all obtaining previous draftees contract values and details? I have tried looking for such a database with no luck. Thanks!

I would do a five-year deal with a voidable sixth year. (Based on performance)

I don’t believe giving a 1st overall pick in 2010 a raise of 10% from 2005 is fair. I’d like to have more money up front for the first year because of the threat of a lockout.

Also, Jason, could you e-mail me at dcperilli@gmail.com? I just have a few things to ask you…thanks
