6 years, 34.5 million.

Thoughts?

I'm still undecided.

Does that seem kinda high?

I guess this means no McFadden. As long as it is Jake long or Dorsey I will be happy. If it is Ryan I will cry.

How much of the money is actually guaranteed?

I actually love the signing personally and now it's time to build a dominate line for Turner to run behind.

15 million.

I never understood the whole guaranteed, non-guaranteed concept. Is it if it meets certain points he gets more cash or what?

In the NFL your contract can be voided at any time. If you sign a 34 million dollar contract in the NBA, you're going to get 34 million. In the NFL you stop getting paid once you get cut except for the guaranteed money.

the simple out look comes out to this......

is Turner better than McFadden?!?!?!?!

i was thinking:

1. McFadden
2. Woodson/Henne
2. OL

i guess now it will be something like:

1. Dorsey/Long
2. Woodson/Henne
2. OL/S

If we even consider drafting Andre Woodson I'm going to vomit.

I agree. Henne or Flacco in the second (unless brohm falls there).
