So about CJ's contract...

not too bad huh?

Will have no bearing on Luke's future deal.

Apart from JJ Watt, Justin Houston is probably the best pass rusher in the league. He led the league in sacks last year with 22 and has 3 straight years with double digit sacks. He got paid what he deserved IMO

I think this is the most amazing thing about Justin Houston.  http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2015/2/2/7951447/justin-houston-penalties-two-years-kansas-city-chiefs

Even though they play different positions this a little worrying, but we have to figure something out for Luke.  

[Khaki Lackey]

I dont think Luke will take an active role in his contract talks. He seems more like a "let my agent handle that" kind of guy.

Unfortunately, that probably isnt a good thing for us.

I thought the same about Cam and we signed him to a very fair deal.

This deal has very little influence with a 4-3 MLB deal.

[Fenrir]

Pass rusher in 3-4 vs 4-3 MLB. The positions aren't comparable. Don't think Luke makes that much (which is good news for us, because that contract is absurd).

That'd be Tom Condon and unfortunately you're right.  I have ZERO concerns about a deal getting done, but it will be "fair" and Condon will get his.  With the 5th year option we also have a trump card the Seahawks don't have, although I wish the deal would be done sooner than later myself.

Is it smart for a Player like Luke to play an Active Role in a Contract? Or is it better for his Agent? I mean of course his agent is going to expect more because he gets a cut, and wants to make sure he is representing his client to the fullest potential. However, Couldn't Luke tell his Agent look im only expecting "X" a year, so don't worry about trying to get Max.

I'm not sure what this means?  I know Houston is good at what he does and his contract is earned.  

CJ got paid 30mil less than that, has averaged double digit sacks over the past 5 years, plays tough against the run and is a leader on this team.  

I was just pointing out to the bean counters around here that our very own CJ is worth the money.  How it was structured is up for debate but I digress.  CJ rules.

I don't think it will Honestly... Luke is not a person that is money hungry, does he want to be paid decent? Sure, but I honestly think he will be happy with 6 Mil a Year.

Lol that's not happening

I personally think that would be foolish for Luke to do. The landscape is constantly changing with new contracts, rising salary caps, etc so "X" a year might sound ok now, but might be way under his market value as arguably the best MLB in the game.

I know, right. I literally have tears in my eyes from laughing.
