I'm backing Elway on the Okung deal because giving a guy with Okung's injury history that much money is stupid.
Quote:
OT Russell Okung to Los Angeles Chargers
Actual: Four years, $53 million, $25 million guaranteed
PFF play-earned contract: Four years, $14.9 million, $4.3 million guaranteed
Grade: F
The headline figure for this contract looks insane, but though some reports had the guaranteed money at just $13.5 million, the later consensus seems to be a monstrous $25 million of guaranteed money, turning a one-year risk into a multi-year millstone for the Chargers. Okung remains a good run blocker—particularly on the backside of zone plays—but has his struggles in pass blocking, and was last solid in that regard in 2012.
