faba Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden has agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $68 million, a league source confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. A total of $45 million guaranteed ($23 million fully). ProFootballTalk.com had earlier reported the terms of Haden's deal. Haden's deal comes less than a week after Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawkssigned a four-year, $57.4 million contract extension, making him the league's highest-paid cornerback. That extension included $40 million in guaranteed money. Although Haden received more guaranteed money than Sherman, his contract is for a year longer than the Seahawks' cornerback meaning Sherman's agreement is still bigger when it comes to guaranteed new money. Another corner who may be in line to receive big money is Arizona's Patrick Peterson, who said Monday he believes he's worth more than what Sherman received. Peterson and the Cardinals are in the early stages of negotiating an extension to the All-Pro's rookie contract. The Browns announced Haden signed the extension, which runs through 2019. "This is a great day for both Joe Haden and the Cleveland Browns," general Ray Farmer said. "Joe's a good, young player who's made a commitment to our organization, and he's somebody with whom we want to move forward in order to advance our football team. He's a great person. He's the right guy to both build with and build around as we attempt to become an elite football team. He's a true professional. When we talk about identifying talent, building through the draft, developing solid players and retaining them, Joe Haden's at the top of the list. I'm excited. Our team is excited." Haden, selected with the seventh overall pick out of Florida in 2010, is coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance. The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder has appeared in 57 career games, registering 13 interceptions, 68 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two sacks. Browns first-year coach Mike Pettine said getting a Haden deal done was a big move for the franchise. "It's important for us," Pettine said. "To extend our core players and continue to grow with guys that represent everything we want this team to be: Tough, hard-working and passionate. Joe obviously loves his teammates, and he loves this city. I know he wants to keep growing and improving as a player. That's what we need, and that's what we want. These are the types of players we want to build around, that will help us grow and win consistently." ESPN.com Browns reporter Pat McManamon, ESPN.com Cardinals reporter Josh Weinfuss and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Mostro Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The Brown's occasionally do something positive for the team. The fact that is has the potential to send Mevi$ into a hissy fit is better still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Deserves it - Haden's a stud. I can't wait to see what Peterson gets paid. I assume these guys are all sending Revis their thanks.

I think at this point in his career Revis is a year-to-year guy. I don't see anyone tying up 30-40 million in guaranteed $ to a 30-year old CB with a reconstructed knee and a history of disgruntlement. Haden, Sherman, and Peterson all did it the right way. No holdouts, no hissy fits at mini-camp, no nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No holdouts, no hissy fits at mini-camp, no nonsense. Revis has already made a sh*t-ton of money, more per year than either of these guys are getting. He's scheduled to make $20M next season, and if the Pats don't honor that (or Revis gets hurt), he'll sign another huge short term deal next year. It's fair to not like Revis, but if his goal was to make the most money, it's hard to argue with his methods. Or his results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 From Twitter Based on the deals for Sherman and Haden, it doesn't seem unrealistic that Revis could get back to $16M per on the open market next March. Albert Breer@AlbertBreer Retweet + Follow Have to give credit to Revis as a businessman... he has had an unprecedented number of helpings at the free agency buffet and it looks like it's going to pay off at least one more time for him.

True, but he doesn't get the peace of mind Sherman and Haden have and Peterson is about to get. Revis tears his knee up again he may never see another dime after 2014. The other 3 guys get paid regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It's hardly a foregone conclusion that Revis will make more than either of these guys. Both are younger, healthier, and have yet to give reason to believe they can't be trusted with such contracts. Don't get me wrong, if he stays healthy I have no doubt he'll easily still get himself a very nice contract, but it is doubtful it will be long term or contain much in terms of guarantees. Of course if he gets hurt, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if he gets hurt, all bets are off. Even when you include these new contract extensions, Revis has already made more money than these guys are scheduled to make. And he'll cash in again next year, barring injury. If he signs another short term deal, that's just another shot at free agency for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs another short term deal, that's just another shot at free agency for him. i think he took the pats deal because he recognized the DB market was soft and with guys like haden and peterson up for extensions, he bet (correctly) the market would go back up. i predict he signs a longterm deal after this season, which will be worth about 20% more than if he signed it this year. buy low, sell high at work.

TuscanyTile2 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm not on the Revis hate bandwagon. He was still a great Jet and in the NFL you have to look out for your own interests as teams can cut you at any time. That aside, I wish he weren't on the Patriots.

No holdouts, no hissy fits at mini-camp, no nonsense. Revis has averaged more $ per yr than any of the CB n he still has one big contract left next yr at age 30 (he's already made almost as much in the last 4 yrs than Sherman will make over the next FIVE yrs). Sherman, btw, will be making $1.4mil this yr. Haden is making about $7mil this yr. Revis is guaranteed $12mil this yr before he signs a monster contract next yr (3yrs $45mil?) assuming no more serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure these right way fellers will love it when they're unceremoniously cut and/or asked to restructure before those deals end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
