Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released
SFGate: Raiders Silver and Black Blog : Breaking news: Raiders cut Schweigert
PFT reports that a Marion Barber extension is valued at 7 years and 45 million, which is Portis-type money. Risky, but if he stays healthy, he'll be worth it. Terrence Newman got 6 years and 50 million with 22 guarenteed per Adam Schefter. Not quite Samuel money, but just a hair below which seems to be market value for a #1 corner these days.

Atlanta Falcons | News | Falcons agree to terms with quarterback Matt Ryan
Matt Ryan just got a six year deal. With slots one and three signed, it shouldn't take long for Chris Long, and the rest will fall in to place. No holdouts necessary.

Re: Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released
I don't think that Marion Barber really deserved that much money, he hasn't really been a full time starter, he had some good numbers, but he hasn't ever been a full time back.

Re: Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released
For me, I think his numbers were skewed quite a bit. I think he was merely an average runner and didn't even think his numbers were that great.

Re: Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released

Re: Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released
I like Schweigert, and for the right price, he could help this team. He would actually play the run much better from the SS position that Doughty plays than the FS position that he played in Oakland.
He could cover the pass a lot better than Reed, but if he did sign here, he would probably still back Reed up.

Re: Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released
We need another Safety, Doughty isin't gonna cut it, although Landry is so nasty on his own that if ST could do it with moderate help, why can't Landry?

So in my opinion they locked up a durable, hard running, TD scoring, young RB for a good price ($16M in guarantees). It was Portis money 4 years ago when Clinton signed his contract. Take into account inflation/salary cap escalation, and it's really not Portis money anymore. If Barber had the yards/TDs in his first few seasons that Portis did, his contract today would have been much larger. I think Newman is overrated, but whatever.

As far as Ryan's contract, it took Peyton Manning about 6 full seasons of dominance in the league before he got that kind of guaranteed money. The rookie pay structure is so flawed.

Re: Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released
Yep, it's time to argue about how insanely ridiculous rookie contracts are again lol. Makes me glad our earliest picks were in the second round. I think when a new labor deal gets announced eventually it will include a rookie cap of some kind, almost everyone (owners, players) agree that the current system is flawed, rookies are getting paid for potential while veterans have to earn that money.

Re: Around the NFL: Cowboys Extend Two; Schweigert Released
Ryan is a Quarterback though, generally they are entitled to over slot money.
Long's deal will probably be worth exactly what other Long's was.

The Raiders had a perfect chance last year to so with Russell, and now they are going to be kicking themselves for that deal when he starts playing poorly. Ryan's a better prospect than Russell, but good luck justifying that contract, kid. We can put the Falcons at the bottom of the NFC South for the next 4 years now. Meanwhile the Raiders have a fearful defense and if McFadden has a Peterson-type year, they are actually a playoff threat. What a wonderful problem--to have to work around the guy you used the first overall pick on a year ago.
