Guess Hawks contract :)

[Tony Oday]

I say 5 year 35 million, 13 million guarenteed

[RashanGary]

5 years 24 million with 17 gauranteed.

[Rastak]

5 year, 32 mil with 17 gauranteed.

[woodbuck27]

Four (4) Years - $28 Million with $14 Million guranteed.

[woodbuck27]

5 years 24 million with 11 gauranteed.

Your morphing back to being Ted Thompson again Greg (ALA) Nick Collins.

No way we get him signed for less than $7 Million per year.It definitely will take 4 or 5 year's at between $28 and $35 Million Big One's - and about half of it guranteed.

[KYPack]

5 years 22.5 million with 12 mil gauranteed

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

6 years 34 mil, 12 mil gauranteed

[Deputy Nutz]

Kameron Wimbely signed a 6 year deal worth 23 million with 9 million in guarantees

So with Wimbely being the 13th pick overall, you can expect that Hawk is going to get over 30 million with over 12 of that being guarantees.

So my prediction is this,

Hawk is going to get a 6 year deal with the 6th year going to be an optional year that can be voided if Hawk meets certain requirements.

Hawk will get 14 million in guarantees. Hawk will get somewhere in the neighborhood of an 8 million dollar signing bonus before he even steps on the field.

His total worth of his contract is going to be 32 million dollars.

1st year = 525,000 dollars
2nd year = 2,000,000 dollars
3rd year = 2,500,000 dollars
4th year = 3,500,000 dollars
5th year = 4,475,000 dollars
6th year = 5,000,000 dollars

Well thought out but I believe it will be a four year deal with the fifth year as an option for Hawk to get out.

Your dollars /season look low Nutz, considering the status of AJ Hawk and the position in which we picked him.

This may have been the finest and ready to go - built in College player in the draft..[/b]

My four year proposal and using your numbers Nutz and say a $10 Million signing Bonus, brings the total value of the contract - excluding the 5th year option to $18.525 Million dollars.

I believe that is low as his contract will average out to about 6-7 million per year over the decided upon length of the contract. AJ Hawk wants to win a Super Bowl, and he won't lock himself into OUR TEAM, with all the needs we are going to experience at the end of this season.

Without Brett Favre there will be a strong argument for us being the WORST team in the NFL.

Hawk will recieve a 5 year contract, 33 Million 16 guaranteed, 9 Million Signing Bonus

1st Year - 4.0 Million
2nd Year - 3.2 Million
3rd Year - 3.0 Million
4th year - 3.0 Million
5th Year - 2.8 Million

We've got alot of cap right now so why not pay him now and keep him cheap later?

[MadtownPacker]

Not sure about the $$$ but I say a 5 year contract with the last year voidable.

Never known the Packer's to pay 4 Mil for the first season to a rookie. It will be around 1 mil for the first year and go up from there. The signing bonus is the key. If they were smart they would offer a HUGE contract with lot's of escalators. Something like 60 mil for 6 years. BUT, only guarantee about 6 mil.

Never liked the idea that someone can get rich just because they got picked in the draft. If he never plays a down and you guarantee more then 6 mil, you aren't very bright.

[Spaulding]

5yr deal with option for sixth (where the Packers wanted 6yr contract and Hawk's agent wants the flexibility of a 5yr) for 34.5 million with 15 million being guaranteed and an option on the sixth for around 7 million.

Woody, go look at other rookie contracts, and then come back and critique me. The Packers almost always get a five year deal with their number one pick in the draft. So far everyone that has signed in this years draft has gotten 6 year deal with the 6 year as either a team option or a player option

I saw something pretty interesting the 2005 draft
take a look and see if you see the same thing, I will be amazed if it happens this year with rookie contracts

1
49ers
QB Alex Smith
July 25
6 years, $49.5 million ($24 million guaranteed)

2
Dolphins
RB Ronnie Brown
Aug. 15
5 years, $33.67 million ($19.58 million guaranteed)

3
Browns
WR Braylon Edwards
Aug. 10
5 years, up to $40 million ($18 million guaranteed)

4
Bears
RB Cedric Benson
Aug. 28
5 years, $35 million ($18 million guaranteed)

5
Buccaneers
RB Carnell Williams
July 29
5 years, $19.1 million ($15.1 million guaranteed)

6
Titans
CB Pacman Jones
Aug. 17
5 years, $18.5 million ($13.6 million guaranteed)

7
Vikings
WR Troy Williamson
Aug. 1
5 years, $15.75 million ($13.3 million guaranteed)

8
Cardinals
CB Antrel Rolle
Aug. 9
6 years, up to $43 million ($13.6 million guaranteed)

9
Redskins
CB Carlos Rogers
Aug. 2
5 years, $13 million ($11.26 million guaranteed)

10
Lions
WR Mike Williams
Aug. 1
5 years, $13.5 million ($10.5 million guaranteed)

Did you see it? Payment for the top 4 players were all above 30 million dollars in total, then the 5th pick, Carnell Willams signed for 19 million dollars almost 17 million less than Cedric Benson. Although 15 million out of his 19 million was guaranteed. Thats absolutely crazy. I can see why guys don't want to sign their deals until they see what others a head of them and right behind them get.

[Zool]

So we only get to spend $6.5mil total on all 12 guys right? Hard to sign the 3 second rounders if we tie up $4mil this year in one guy. I have no guess, just questioning.
