kyle rudolph contract extension 

Post#1 » by hermes » Mon Jul 28, 2014 2:54 pm

5 year deal worth a min of $36.5 mil (max of $40 mil), with $19.4 mil guaranteed (although $12 mil of that is if he gets injured)

seems like a good contract for both sides, i'm glad it got done - i don't like contract distractions

I'm not sure he's proven to be worth it, hopefully with some better QB play he will.

Tight ends usually flourish under Norv's offense. If we wait after the season and he has a great year, they'll have to pay him a lot more.

I'm okay with this extension, especially knowing it's not fully guaranteed.

It's a team friendly deal. Looks a lot better on the inside than it does on the outside.

Its nice to get him locked him up. I'd like to see Patterson, Rudolph, and Kalil stick together for Bridgewater's growth. Everybody else is expendable on some level. AD obviously too, but if it came down to Patterson or Kalil vs releasing AD, then the choice is obvious.
