Jamarcus Russell - 6 years - 61 million - 29 guaranteed
Mario Williams - 6 years - 54 million - 26.5 guaranteed
Alex Smith - 6 years - 49.5 million - 24 guaranteed
Eli Manning - 6 years - 45 million - 20 guaranteed
It seems that there is a pretty standard 10% increase each year. Russell made 13% more on salary but his guaranteed money was increased by 9%.
Would a different position warrant a different contract. So if we pick Chris Long, would we effectively pay him the same amount as Matt Ryan?
Even though the numbers would most likely look the same, being 31 guaranteed and around 68-67 million for either player, would Chris Long have a different structure to his contract than Matt Ryan? Would Long's contract be structured so that he is actually making a larger majority in his final two years, which we would renegotiate when the time comes? Or would an agent still demand reasonable escalators, like a normal contract?
