Kerrigan signs long term deal

SO happy to hear this, he is a great player on and off the field and a terrific actor (for those that have had the pleasure of seeing Sharknado 3 like I did last night)

Pertinent link:

Redskins, Kerrigan Reach Contract Extension (http://www.redskins.com/news-and-events/article-1/Redskins-Kerrigan-Reach-Contract-Extension/42250a1f-e1ac-4043-b6c8-08c4c49f463a)

Terms not disclosed via Redskins.com, we'll need Schefter or somebody to get their hands on that.

Congrats and well deserved. Glad to see the team do the right thing and get him locked up now.

5 years, $57.5M

$11.5M per year, $16M of it coming in form of signing bonus

No word on total guaranteed money, which is the real important piece

Wow, that seems kinda low, assuming the cap keeps going up. I was expecting 14 a year or so.

24.28 mil guaranteed is what I saw on twitter, work computer won't let me copy and paste it

Based on what? Justin Houston is getting $16.8M per year, Clay Matthews is getting $13.2M per year, and now Kerrigan is the 3rd highest paid OLB at $11.5M.

$14M would have put him in front of Clay, I don't think you can say he's had that kind of impact.

To me it feels like it's slotted appropriately. Not too high, not too low. Deserved market value.

I like that the contract doesn't take him past his 31st birthday, so we're committed to his prime years and nothing beyond.

He's a very important player to keep and this keeps him at a fair price. Good stuff.

Good.

I mean, i rather keep all our players for $1 a year if it were possible, but at least we're paying a player that's been pretty good for us.
