right, but the first three are the guaranteed years, which is why you keep hearing 3/$30mil.

But basically its a 3 year deal. Base salaries are not worth the paper they are printed on in the NFL.

So if you look at the numbers and rumors that he is getting 30.5M in the first three years and his signing bonus is 22 to 24M, that means his base salaries in the first three years are 2 or 3M. (So the cap hit is about 6M in each of the first three years).

So that means his base salaries in the last three years are 9 or 10M each year. He will never see that money. He'll be cut or restructure before those base salaries are due.

Like I said before, these negotiations are all about the guaranteed money up front. Base salaries don't mean squat.

Who is the highest paid defensive player in the league? It's not Peppers or Gamble...so I don't know who else it could be.

no peppers has the highest. Naodi's hit is for about 14.5 million per year. at 14 million last year he was the highest paid defensive player.

The deal is base salary front loaded according to the sources I've read. The 3 years 30.5 million is just in base salary over those years. His last three years will be dirt cheap though.
