Sounds like a big portion will be paid next year and it's only guaranteed through next year as well. Good deal.

Excited to get the details as they leak out.

Interested to see how that gets spread throughout the cap and how much dead money we would have if they do let him go after next year.

Figured it'd be in the neighborhood of 16 mil/year. Less guaranteed dollars than I thought, and the contract basically has a clean escape after 2015.

Fair market extension, IMO.

Meanwhile, Rod Graves is still trying to figure out a way to get Kurt Warner to take his calls on his "visit" to San Fran.

I know a lot will change between now and 2015, but...

Larry Fitzgerald - $23,600,000
Carson Palmer - $20,500,000
Patrick Peterson - $14,791,200
Calais Campbell - $14,750,000

Four players, as of now, eating up roughly 50% of the cap. Obviously Fitz is the biggest question mark.

Wow.

Wow.

All teams have this dilemma with their star players if they have any thought of being considered a contender because elite players come with a price and any QB that is just starter material with cost you money in a QB depleted league, with the Fitzgerald situation being the only exception courtesy of Rod Graves. Great job by the front office under Keim!

 

[Buckybird]

Way to go Keim!

 

[NJCardFan]

This is a good move as it solves a major problem at least for the next couple of years. And considering that there aren't going to be any viable alternatives next season, this makes this a great move.

Don't they still have some kind of special financial advisor/guru still on the payroll? I would think he would be doing the money crunching for them. But, no matter. I like their signings

This is really good news. It all starts with having a quality qb and Carson has proved to be one. A perfect fit for BA's offense.

 

[CoachKlein]

I really love this! Happy to keep Palmer for a few more years.. The two big questions are how in the world are we gonna get Larry to stay and if this is going to ruin the mojo the team has right now?? Maybe in a good or bad way? Or just nothing at all...

Really curious as to what mindset Larry is going to have this offseason. Will he go to the highest bidder or is he going to do his best to get a ring. It's highly unlikely that he will be able to get both.

Sure it is! Get a ring now, get paid later!

The market is not going to be that hot for Fitz. His big contract days are over. He won't have it as good as he has it here.

That's what they were saying on the radio today also: he can take a paycut and play here or take a paycut and play somewhere else.

I might be the only one here on the board that thinks this , but I truly believe that Larry is going to get the big ring come February . Then it will be interesting to see if he can overcome his pride and stay . Last off-season big contract guys like Revis , and Peppers took paycuts joining their new teams , I'm hoping that Larry takes one and stays a Cardinal .
