For sure, but I'm just not running with the first number I see. Shit does happen.

Definitely a great start to the weekend.

has everyone from the "World is Ending because we didn't sign AJ first" thread stepped off the ledge yet?

Great way to start my weekend.

we can only hope

Just bought a Green jersey a few weeks ago. Glad I can wear it through 2019. AJ is also on my fantasy team this year.

Right on.  One less thing to panic about.  Was there ever really any doubt this would happen?

I had no idea that we thought so much about AJ McCarron.

I though it was AJ Hawk.  We're up to our necks in AJ's.  Go find any other group of 53 guys that has three AJ's among them.

You jinxed the inevitable injury, now he's good.

Fine job there.

Full contract details here:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/11/the-full-a-j-green-deal/

Quote:1. Green receives a $15 million roster bonus, with all money paid out by January 31, 2016.

2. Green has a base salary of $11.75 million in 2015, which is as a practical matter guaranteed.

3. Green receives a $6 million roster bonus if on the active roster as of the third day of the 2016 league year. The payment is not guaranteed.

4. Green has a base salary of $3.8 million in 2016.

5. Green has a base salary of $10.3 million in 2017.

6. Green has a base salary of $10.55 million in 2018.

7. Green has a base salary of $11.976 million in 2019.

8. Green is eligible for a $200,000 workout bonus in 2016 through 2019.

Green makes $26.75 million this year, and he will have earned $32.75 million by March. While next year’s pay isn’t guaranteed, he’ll walk away with $26.75 million if they cut him after this season — which means they won’t.

He makes $35.95 million over two years and $46.45 million over three.

The cap numbers are $14.75 million in 2015, $13 million in 2016, $13.5 million in 2017, $13.75 million in 2018, and $15.176 million in 2019.

The deal has a new-money average of $15 million, and a total value average of $14.03 million. It gets Green back to the market a year earlier that Falcons receiver Julio Jones, who signed a five-year extension.

The new-money average exceeds Jones by $750,000 per year, and the total value surpasses the five-year, $14 million deals done by Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas in July. Both had played five years and were working under the franchise tag. Green has only four years of service.

I am surprised.  I was already expecting him to be franchised next year.

I Think I owe you something Bonnie.

With the cap going up every year paying Green $11 million a year in '19 will be peanuts. And he will only be 31 years old.

I saw this at work Today. I had declared it spirit day already so i felt inclined to blare Welcome to the Jungle and Fear da Tiger. Being in Atlanta It wasn't appreciated as much as youu would think with AJ being from UGA.

That looks like a beautifully structured contract for both the team and AJ.

Once again, my hat goes off to Mike and Company.

Yep,

How many Johnsons' did we have back in 05 ? 5 ? 6 ? can't remember

Fisher has a long ways to go before he's ready to do near as good job as Smith. Hope he progresses well during the season.

Here we go, a little bit more clear

32,750,000 of 71,176,000 is guaranteed.
