eboozer Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Run away from the tougher challenge, definitely the mindset that gets you to the NFL. Happens all the time! Why WR's want the great QB to get them the ball in the right place at the right time. Or a RB wants to go to a team w/a superior OL. These guys don't want to set themselves up for failure.... there are millions of dollars at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I don't know what DRC's primary motivation is. The big knock on him is that he plays when he wants to play. He played well last year on a team favored all season to win the Super Bowl. If that's the kind of motivation he needs, he's not going to have that here. Not this year, anyway. Now, if he's a guy who wants to be the best at his profession, as a CB, there's not a better place to go than Rex Ryan's defense. Revis is great, but Rex's use of him elevated him to superstar. Revis get hurt/leaves, Cromartie goes to the probowl. Cromartie falls apart, Milliner is the defensive player of the month in December. A CB is going to achieve success here. If that's what he wants, and the Jets are in his financial ballpark, he'll sign here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confident/arrogant CB's don't think that way. How they think is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Looks like it is going to cost about $10,000,000 to sign this guy.

MexiRoll6 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Free agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is flying to New York to meet with the New York Jets Friday evening according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. This is the first known scheduled visit for Rodgers-Cromartie, who is by far the best cover corner left on the free agent market. Pro Football Focus ranked Rodgers-Cromartie the fifth-best corner in the NFL in 2013 and he plays the kind of press coverage favored by Jets head coach Rex Ryan. It seems like DRC has been in the league forever but he is still only 27 years old. Seems like guys come for the visit, then leave and go to the bathroom where they call their agent and get a better deal SOMEWHERE else. Idzik simply cannot bring himself to spend money. He is the anti-Tanny to a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eboozer Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 An inside look at the Denver Broncos’ offer to Rodgers-Cromartiehttp://t.co/KSd804AzNy By Mike Klis The Denver Post Mike Klis Denver Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie celebrates a broken up pass in the first quarter of a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver on Oct. 13, 2013. Denver Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie celebrates a broken up pass in the first quarter of a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver on Oct. 13, 2013. (AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver Post) I have confirmed a Pro Football Talk report that before the Broncos signed Aqib Talib to a six-year, $57 million contract, they offered their own Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie a six-year $54 million deal. And it’s true, Rodgers-Cromartie turned it down. But before slamming Rodgers-Cromartie or his agent Eugene Parker, the six-year, $54 million proposal was not what it seemed. No NFL contract is what it seems. First, Parker has long been considered one of the NFL’s premier agents. He has represented Deion Sanders and Rod Woodson. He currently represents Larry Fitzgerald and Jairus Byrd. Parker just got a six-year, $54 million deal done for Byrd with New Orleans. Parker knows six year, $54 million contracts. Byrd’s six-year, $54 million deal was structured in such a way that he is all but guaranteed $27.9 million through three years. Rodgers-Cromartie’s six-year, $54 million proposal from the Broncos was essentially a one year, $10 million guarantee. The Broncos’ contracts are very well structured. The team is more than fair, even generous, to the player in year one, but then the Broncos protect the team interests after that. This is smart, clean business by general manager John Elway and Broncos’ contract guru Mike Sullivan, the unsung star of the team’s recent free-agent haul of defensive standouts. What we have come to know about Elway is he won’t hesitate to move on if he doesn’t feel negotiations are going well. This is a guy who sharpened his transaction acumen in the car business. Jared Allen found this out as the Broncos wound up signing DeMarcus Ware instead. It also should be noted that included in the $10 million, first-year money to Rodgers-Cromartie was a $5 million signing bonus that would have carried future salary cap ramifications and made it extremely difficult for the Broncos to release the cornerback after the first year. So Rodgers-Cromartie would have made $16 million after two years. And then it would have been $24 million over three years. That’s the deal Rodgers-Cromartie turned down. The other $30 million over the final three years was essentially fluff. Talib and strong safety T.J. Ward didn’t have a problem with the Broncos’ structure. Talib’s six-year, $57 million contract is really one year and $12 million, two years and $18 million and three years and $27 million. His final three years and $30 million are fluff. At 5 p.m. Tuesday, Talib had never heard from the Broncos. By 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, they had the deal done. Some people — most notably the coaches and personnel executives inside Dove Valley’s headquarters — would say Talib is a better player than Rodgers-Cromartie and is worth $2 million more in year one of the contract. The same people would also say if Rodgers-Cromartie is worth an average of $8 million per year after three seasons, then Talib is worth a $9 million average. Rodgers-Cromartie, a uniquely gifted, long, tall cover corner, and his agent would beg to differ. We’ll see what happens to Rodgers-Cromartie, but my guess is most teams have already spent the bulk of their budget. When it’s over, Rodgers-Cromartie may continue to receive criticism for not taking the Broncos’ offer. And that’s fair. But it’s also fair to say he didn’t really turn down six years and $54 million. He rejected one year for $10 million, or two years for $16 million or three years for $24 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
