There is quite a gap between the deal Von Miller got and the the one Mo Wilkerson signed. Chandler Jones should be motivated to play this year to get some of that coin. I'm sure he is eying Miller money but given what he has done up til now where do you think he fits on the inflated pay scale? The Tag number will go up next year and Miller's tag of $14.129M this year is starting to look like a bargain. Jones cap hit of $7.8M is really a bargain at this point.
Wilkerson's deal is 5 year worth $86 million, with $36.75 million guaranteed, including a $15 million signing bonus. The contract averages $17.2 million per season.
Miller deal is 6 year worth $114.5 million, with $70 million guaranteed, including a $17 million signing bonus. The contract averages $19.08 million per season.
The bottom line is the teams that figure out how to draft a pass rusher will be the winners because you can't keep paying these guys and premier QBs at those rates.
