I'd like to see how they crunched these numbers. Because I don't see how the backfields pay can be less then 3 million when Chester Taylor is getting 3.5 million a year all by himself.

Something is wrong with the figures or the person doing them.

Geeze thanks :roll: Taylor gets a yearly base salary of $600,000.

Yeah well what do you want?

You make a post no links, no source, no nothing.

Now that I see the link I can see they short changed him his first year and backloaded his contract. Which I still must be missing the point. The numbers are irrelvant. If we are trying to consider how much we invested and equate that to quality then you have to consider his contract as a whole not this year alone.

He gets a base yearly salary of 600,000 for this year alone, and then after that his pay is increased dramatically.

To top it off you say it is their salary yearly which is not the case, it should state it is their salary for this season alone. There is a big difference. The quality between a guy making 600,000 dollars a year for 4 years and a guy making 600,000 his first year then adding up to 14+ million over 4 years is going to be a huge difference.

Thats great. But isnt only something like 6 million not in incentives? This is for this year only. I thought it would be interesting to see but instead I get flack for not going up to 2010? You are more than welcome to do it yourself.

Yeah it is interesting. No one ever said it wasn't.

It is what it is. A snapshot of one seasons pay. The comments apply more to what people are summing up from a jumble of random information with no links or sources given at the time of posting.

People are associating the ammount of money spent with the quality of players we have. Which isn't even accurate because we have solid players in other positions that are getting paid more in sequencial years.

So you got some flack, cry about it.

C. Taylor

2006- 600,000
2007- 2.4 Million
2008- 3.0 Million
2009- 3.0 Million

He isn't crying about getting paid 600,000 this year because he got a 5+ Million dollar signing bonus.

Again take the post for what it is worth. An interesting tidbit of a snapshot of THIS season.

But if your going to try and equate the level of talent with the ammount of money we spent then you need to look at their contract as a whole.

You = Anyone who is doing that.

Im sorry, maybe its me, but when exactly did I ever say that pay was directly responsible for their play? Its a snapshot of this season, it was interesting. Why not raise a stink about how its not accurate because we will soon be paying McKinnie more money? I posted the info for this season, the only relavent data for right now. You are more then welcome to do this over the next 5 years but its the damndest thing is that nobody will care because these people wont be starting, they will retire, we will sign new people, draft new people and so on. Interesting you say im crying about it yet you cant seem to get over the fact that it is completely useless and un-realistic to do it over years.

"You" also need to consider the true cap impact.

Example: Chester Taylor signed a 4-year, $14.1 million contract with $5.6 million guaranteed.

Now - I clicked around a brief bit, but I don't see how his "guarantees" are structured, so these numbers aren't totally accurate. But let's assume that $5 million is in a signing bonus, with the other $600,000 of guaranteed money in roster bonuses for $200,000 for 2007, 2008 & 2009.

The way the NFL counts signing bonuses is to prorate the value over the life of the contract. So Chester's CAP number for 2006 is: $600,000 (2006 salary) + $1.25 million ($5 million/4 years) or $1.85 million.

The other 3 years then count as:
2007 - $3.85 million (assuming the $200,000 roster bonus)
2008 - $4.45 million (assuming the $200,000 roster bonus)
2009 - $4.45 million (assuming the $200,000 roster bonus)

That is, of course, assuming that Chester remains under this contract for all 4 years. If he's cut, say, after the 2007 season, then his TOTAL cap number for 2007 becomes $6.75 million ($3.85 + balance of guaranteed money - $2.9 million).

THIS is why people should respect Rob B - he does a helluva job as capologist for the Vikes.

I agree, it is useless and unrealistic. But... I was bored, so....

It's nice to see people debating over worthless information that was meant to be interesting. That is a sign that football season is just around the corner....like being in MN and seeing a robin in your yard and knowing spring has sprung.

He just needs to kick butt this season...he will have the OL to run behind, so he has no excuses!!!
