Who were, unfortunately, Hitchens and Watkins. Length doesn't do anything but let you spread the pain. The length of Clark's contract was immaterial especially once he restructured it. The biggest problem with Clark was the guarantees. And you're not getting Smith on the kind of cheap deal you got for Reid - that's why he walked away from Baltimore. And even on a 3 year deal, Mathieu and Watkins numbers were tough by the end of year 2. Term on NFL contracts is nothing more than an accounting measure - it doesn't matter and in fact in most ways it helps teams (larger pro-rated period and more opportunity for restructures). A 3 year deal doesn't get around any of those problems if Smith is insisting on significant guarantees. It certainly doesn't make things EASIER than a 5 year deal with the same guarantees would. EDIT: I see you were talking about Hunter - it's an even BIGGER problem for Hunter because he's absolutely going to insist on those guarantees due to the leverage he has with his roster bonus imploding your cap and the fact that he is clearly indicating he wishes to be paid a great deal sooner rather than later. If merely signing for $25 million in guarantees was sufficient, he'd be happy to take that $18 million roster bonus and turn it into a signing bonus to pro-rate it out. He clearly ain't content doing that. He's looking for $40+ million in guarantees and you aren't doing that over a 3 year deal without butt-****ing your cap.

KYZIR!!!
edit: Y'know what's sad? Then when I hit submit and CP told me 'this is a duplicate of a post you have submitted' I couldn't even say for certain that I double clicked or the thread had aids. At any given time it's fair to assume that I have in fact shouted KYZIR! into the void in the last 5 minutes.

I like him but is he too light to be a backer? He’s listed at 218 lbs

And he racked up 144 tackles for LAC this year so I'd say he's figured something out.

I mean we're two dudes away from a bonafide circle jerk at that point. So really we're just 1 away because you KNOW Billay will be there. Then he'll find out about the Kyzir White signing.
