909997 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 at first i thought we overpaid for them completely randle el signed a 7 year 30 mil lloyd signed 7 year 28 mil now i was looking though this years WRs signed Drew Bennett 6 years $30 million Wes Welker 7 years/$38.5 million by patriots so looking back we got a good deal on them because randle el would get $40+ mil contract this year and lloyd would get $35ish mil not to mention lloyd and randle el are much younger then bennett and welker.

LiveStrongSkins Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wow... Welker came from no where to get that type of money. He's good but I didnt think he was THAT good. The problem was we dished the money out and havent gotten the returns so to speak. If these guys have big seasons in the future then its money well spent.

Teller Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Post...of...the...day. It's funny that no one, fans, media, no one takes into account how dynamic the NFL free agent market really is. Just think about when Randle El and Lloyd are in year five of those contracts. Sure, they can hold out, but right now they look like absolute steals. (Well, Randle El for sure, and hopefully Lloyd too.) Excellent job by you, 909997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwpanic Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 randle el was definitely a bargain. lloyd, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf85 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Well the numbers that Randel El and Lloyd put up says other words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalDragon Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Every WR mentioned in the first post is twice as good as Brandon Lloyd will ever be. Randle El is worth the money because he works hard and is versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Lloyd also cost 2 draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsOrlando Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 You see this is where you're wrong, it is a written rule you learn in college journalism that no matter what the Redskins do they always overpay. No one else in the league ever does, just the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty-eight Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wow. Welker got paid!! No way miami matches that offer, they'll get a second round pick out of it. It's not you typical Pats move, I think its kinda :insane: Good post, 909997. Those contracts will look even better next free agency:cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your blind hatred for Lloyd falls in line with 75% of the other ES chimps out there, but use your head dude....Wes Welker. Lloyd had a down year. Wes Welker man, WES WELKER. Their careers and achievements up to this point are not comprable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wes Welker? you kidding me? I can understand paying that for Bennett as he has been consistent. Welker though was just a one year wonder it seems, did he even start in Miami? I remember BOoker/Chambers, and Welker having osme decent games.

909997 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 where did you see Welkers deal? The Patriots plan to sign Miami restricted free-agent wide receiver Wes Welker to a seven-year offers sheet worth $38.5 million. Once Welker signs the offer sheet, the Dolphins will have seven days to match it. If they decide not to, they would get the Patriots' second-round draft pick http://nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/10033511 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 The cap keeps going up every year and so do contracts. So these so called huge contracts that we made a few years ago that escalate at the end will look like bargains in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Welker is their man signing at the position then I'm with you.. it looks a little strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great returner, solid wr with great speed and good hands. Dude is tiny though, I think he's only 5'8.

Capt. Jack Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 The Randle El deal now looks great. Lloyd not so much. Hopefully Lloyd steps it up next year now that we've found our quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yeah, so far Lloyd's 23 catches for 365 yrds and 0 TDs has been worth every penny of that $28 mil contract. 3rd and 4th rd picks? No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rams signed bennet to 30 mil contract who already have 2 good WR's. How big of a deal do u think lloyd would have gotten from patriots or jags? And did u forget nate burleson signed a $50 mil contract last year also 25 like lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauss Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 You can't compare contacts in one year to another. that way you could say that hutchinson got robbed last year. the bigger question is--would you still sign Lloyd for that same amount of money and two draft picks? I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsTillIDie Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Look at how Len Pasquarelli jumps all over the Patriots' nuts with the Wes Welker deal, who is a RESTRICTED free agent, mind you. If the Dolphins do not match the offer sheet, they will receive a second-round pick in the 2007 draft from the Patriots as compensation.Surrendering a second-round choice for a player of Welker's abilities would be viewed in most quarters, but especially in New England, as a steal. Welker would dramatically upgrade the New England wide receiver corps and the Pats would also benefit by taking him away from a division opponent. Plus, the Patriots own a pair of first-round choices in the 2007 draft, and can afford to part with a second-round selection for a player of Welker's skills. Welker, 25, is a terrific, if unheralded playmaker who has earned a spot on the ESPN.com "all unsung" team each of the past two seasons. Used principally as a return specialist in his first two seasons in the league, Welker emerged as a viable receiving threat in 2006, with 67 catches for 687 yards and a touchdown. Oh yeah, I am sure a 2nd round draft pick and a huge contract is a "steal" for a one-year wonder who is 5'9 and has 1 CAREER receiving touchdown. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2786731 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
