Lets Talk about Westy's 30 mil

by NickPampani on Jul 23, 2008 6:36 PM EDT

What would happen if we ended up giving westbrook his 30 mil but streached it out over 4 or 5 years with X amount of bonuses?

The Bonuses would hopfuly keep him happy and willing to play over those next 2 years. Yeah we will pay now but we never pay our players what they are worth and we always have alot of cap room so why not use it on the best weapon in football. i understand where 30 mil could be alot, and we want to pervent what happend with shawn Alexander but they are 2 different players. (lets face it Shawn Aexander was never a tough player willing to take a hit) And to top all this off we will end up with a happy Westbrook who keeps getting better every year. I hounestly belive our chnces of winning it all would o way down without Westbrook.

Can't this all be possible?

Will this really hurt us that much? (how much)

Would you guys be willing to do something like this?

LETS TALK and more importantly have a healthy debate like "Shot Glass" was oh so capable of doing.

if you give westy 30 now does it make the sheppard situation worse. I think it might and that might be the tight rope the eagles are walking

$30 mil

Reading through comments from Westy, it seems like he wants $30 mil over 3 years instead of the ~$12 mil he will be getting, and that he just kind of threw that number out there, meaning he’d probably take less.

It would probably be pretty straightforward to extend Westbrook a year or two and give him a new set of bonuses so that he ends up getting paid closer to $8 mil per year instead of $4 mil.
