Step away from the ledge. You know who you are.

Hmm... I hope Graves doesn't feel accomplished now and feel like he's done enough for the week.

LOL

ESPN is also reporting $15mil signing bonus and base salaries of $4mil each year

 

[LACardsJoe]

ESPN confirming their error, 2 years, 23 million, 15 million signing bonus and 19 mil guaranteed. KTAR was on the money.

 

[Redbird 78]

but now the text that i got says...
"Cardinals sign Kurt Warner to a 2-yr deal 15 signing bonus-19 million guaranteed"

that from KTAR....

I hope that's wrong. That's too much guaranteed money, imo.

 

[PoolBoy]

NFL.com is saying 19 mil guaranteed

Ouch! That's a lot of guaranteed money.

DUMB if true IMO.

Get your season tickets now...we're telling the NFL, we aint the same ole Cards, Q will probably get his contract redone next.

 

[Saxon079]

Hmmm, John Clayton ESPN was stated as saying 2 years, 23 million, 12 guaranteed. Well at least the man is signed, the terms are what they are. We need to lock up Q now and give Edge his release. Be nice to keep them both though. Can you smell another SB run?

Clayton has it at 2 years 23 million 19 million guaranteed also.

 

[krispydude]

well $19mil was want Warner wanted guaranteed anyways. they just tried to hide it by having $6mil guaranteed both years plus the 2009 salary.

So is it $15mil this year and $4mil next or all $19mil this year?

 

[Feeble Mcjackson]

2 years 23 mil. 12 mil guaranteed

its 2 year 23 million NINETEEN guaranteed. this was a horrible deal.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Till five minutes from now. When something else "to die for" comes up.

 

[Proteus]

19 million guaranteed? Way to just roll over Graves.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Good...I hope the FO didn't cave on the second year though.

I'm glad our long CardsNational nightmare is over. On to Adrian Wilson.

FTFY

The 9'ers got what they wanted by getting the cards to pay too much for Warner.

WHOOP-DEE-DOO!!!

Me? I'm happy!

11.5 Million a year is right on IMO. Kurt wanted 14.5 to 16 million. I say good job lets go back to the SB.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Basically the front office was bidding against themselves and just caved to Warner and his agent. Typical. There is no way Warner is worth that much, I would rather had him walk and see what he got elsewhere (which would have been nothing).

Guys dont go bonkers over this 19 mill gauranteed info. They are counting the first years base salary as already in his pockett. 15 mill signing bonus(which is the real true gauranteed amount) + 4 mill in base salary = 19 Mill. he will pockett the first season.

Thats if those amounts are real. The media and especially agents like to play very loosely with the word "gauranteed". It makes me made becuase what they say is gauranteed is not actually gauranteed but it sounds good to possible future players for the agent to try and sign.

It breaks down like this in its simplest form. If he can still play at a high level in year two this contract is perfect. If he cant play in year 2 we have 7.5 mill in dead cap space in 2010.
