Nate Solder - $62M for 4 years. That's $15.5M per year average with $35M guaranteed.
Sammy Watkins - $48M for 3 years, $30M guaranteed. That's $16M per year average.
Malcolm Butler - $61M for 5 years, $30M guaranteed, $12.2M per year average.
Carlos Hyde - $15M for 3 years, $5M per year average.
AJ McCarron - $10M for 2 years. About enough to get the Bengals a 5th round comp pick.
Kirk Cousins - estimated at $86M for 3 years. That's over $28M per year.
Glenn will make $11.25M this year, $9.25M next year and $9.5M in 2020.
Me thinks we should extend Atkins and Dunlap sooner rather than later.
That was part of the brilliance with this trade. We didn't overpay to offensive line help, and we got one of the better left tackles in the league under contract for the next 3 years.
