[Heismanberg]

4 years, $40 million ($27 million guaranteed)

[JFIF]

I don't understand how they can afford him, Sherman , Wilson and Kam.
Not to mention what they gave Percy harvin plus guys like Avril and Bennett.

 
I'm really curious to see their updated cap situation after the Sherman deal gets
done.

They've benefited from that window of having rookie contracts with oodles of talent but now they're starting to have to pay those guys almost all at once.

Which of course means they are going to lose some of those guys, nature of the game, especially now that they all have rings, the incentive to take less in hopes of getting the ring is pretty much gone.
