MERGED: Cam Wake gets paid

It would take some camp cuts to sign Long. He wants a bigger pay raise then his first contract. I would not sign him for more then 5 years. He probably wants 14M per year. 5 year 65M with 30M Guaranteed is fair. He may want more.

Jake will probably never state publically what he wants. At this point we can only rely on what the media tells us or suggests.

For instance.

- Long’s camp isn’t interested in taking a pay cut, and to get a deal done he’d likely need a contract in the neighborhood of the one Joe Thomas got from Cleveland last season. The Browns gave Thomas a seven-year, $87 million deal that guaranteed Thomas $44 million. He’s slated to earn $42 million in the first three seasons.

- If you don’t think Long’s agent isn’t using that contract as the framework of a deal for Long you clearly don’t know how the business side of the NFL works. Ireland prefers to give shorter contracts. Most of his deals are three-years, which prevents dead money from accumulating. But for a player of Long’s caliber he’d probably allow a five-year deal. But a seven-year deal is unrealistic.

Do we know for sure that Long's camp is not interested in taking a pay cut or is this just one man's assumption?
 
I'm wondering who or if someone restructured or extended their contract for this deal to get done?
 
Ireland is so bad, i mean its like its like I know more than him. Good thing people like me post because this place would be so boring without stupid *******s like myself.

It could depend on how the deal is structered. Wake didnt get a entirely new contract, he got an extension. Could be a modest pay bump for the first year then really take off next season when we have more money(something like $50 mil cap room).

Good deal for both sides, great news. Good job Ireland for squeezing it through.
 
finally feels like we have a plan for this team. This is great news,WAKE is a beast
