visajets Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Congrats Leon. I hope he made his wife sign a pre-nupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 $3+M per and you guys want to save money by dumping Tomlinson? No thanks. 27 is a great number, but 27 carries does not amount to "carrying the load". The guy averaged 3.7 ypc. Two carries went for 37 yards, the other 25 for 63. Ouch. I like Leon and wish him well, but it's pretty easy to move on when the guy is basically just a return man again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 How much is guaranteed? Couldn't be much if the whole deal over 4 seasons is $12.5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 It's only $3.5M guaranteed, which basically means he's going to play in year one of this contract ($2M SB and $1.5M salary) and then Seattle can easily cut him before his $1M roster bonus in 2012. This is (granted, allegedly) less guaranteed money he turned down from the Jets right before they shipped him off to Seattle. Seattle has a net cap savings if they cut Leon after the 2011 season. Hope he stays healthy and gets more than that, but when you're a RB who turns 29 before the season begins you're not exactly in the driver's seat for a long-term deal unless Terry Bradway becomes a GM again.
