Tulloch Says Pay Me

[lions2011]

Stephen Tulloch - LB - Lions

Free agent MLB Stephen Tulloch is reportedly seeking a long-term deal that will top that of Browns MLB D'Qwell Jackson's five-year, $42.5 million contract.

You know when I read that he wanted to get that deal him and his family were looking for and test FA, it seems to me he'll go where the top coin is. I'm not so confident anymore he'll be back .

Peace out. I like him, but we can't pay him that much.

he wants more guaranteed then Jackson....stack it anyway you want but it'll have to have 20 million in guarantees.

 

[Mitchrapp]

personally, i'd rather have it front loaded. with all the restrcturing and stafford's contract coming up, i'd rather get the big money out of the way now.

 

[lions2011]

give him something like 5 years 43 million with a 20 in guarantees , give him a big signing bonus and fully guarantee the first 3 years.

2015 the big money comes in. Stafford won't be too bad if they extend him next year(becasue next year Stafford is 20 million from the restrucutre) and start low like with Calvin (11.5,12.2,12.2 then 19.7 in 2015 for Calvin). Give Tulloch a big signing bonus 20/5=4 cap hit plus 1 million in base salary this year so 5 cap number. 21 in cash. Thats 21 right there, 23 to go over 4 years between base and roster bonus /workout/incentives.

It all depends what other teams think he is worth and if the Lions think he is worth that much compared to say a David Hawthorne. The 2010 starting MLB is still on the roster too but I don't want Levy back there. Lions might be ok with it with Durant(instead of Peterson in 2010) and a drafted player (instead of Palmer/Follet/Carpenter like in 2010).

9 per is way too much for him, 8 is a lot to much, 7 is too much...6 is better. Cya

it's all about the guaranteed....like Monster says front load it so all the guarantees are paid out in the first 3 years....he won't see year 4 or 5 of the deal.

Here is how they did Jacksons

really a 2 year deal...the roster bonus in 2014 will be the decision maker.

sign tulloch and avril, for that matter get SLH a new contract as well. Still should have quite a bit of cap left, throw some at the OL (2 of Backus, Winston, Mcneil) and go Defense in the draft. Off of injury, I doubt Mcneil would get the $$$ that he's worth.


This is off the assumption that we have about 20mil in cap plus whatever Avril's deal would clear up for this year?

Yep. Nothing much to restructure there. It's do or die in 2014. Smart with Jacksons injury history. Lions structure it like Jackson then Tulloch for 2 more seasons with 3 drafts before we would have to play without him. I'm all for that contract. But Tulloch might want more signing bonus than 7 mil.

ya getting an Avril contract and off that tag sure would help.

And this is the last year for CW(5 million), Hanson(3.2 million) and Raiola (3.4) IMO. 11.6 in space from them next year and whatever saving from getting rid of KVB a year early after this season unless he restructures or takes a pay cut if he's even worth it after this year keeping around. But next year we got Houston,Durant,Lo Jack,Levy,Lee-Hill and Delmas as free agents. Gosder too but I think he will be gone(another 3.2 mil). And Stafford should be extended next year (20 million cap number if not, 17 original plus 3 from restructure).
