Its great we got him signed early.Especially after what happened last year.

[zoinks]

Exactly.

The league should mandate that the team with the #1 overall pick have a deal signed before the draft. This seems to eliminate most of the rookie holdouts, and allows them to get into camp on time. It just makes the whole process much better for everyone involved.

Great job by McFadden, he came out and said he wanted this done, and made it happen, good move on his part not holding out and being greedy...Excellent move on both parts.

Yeah congrats Raiders hope he works out if Kwame plays too much LT they might need him at QB

Looks like the Raiders are depending on the salary cap going away. Considering how much they have backloaded all of the deals they have signed they are screwed if the salary cap stays put. They also better pray they don't have another top 10 draft pick. Seeing them give that much guaranteed money to unproven rookies year after year? Brilliant.

Great job by the Raiders. I've been a McFadden fan for a while now and I'm really interested to see him in the NFL.

NFL.com reports it's a 6-year 60 million dollar deal with 26 million guaranteed. This is getting rediculous.

"Contract terms were not disclosed, but several media sources said the deal was for six years and $60 million, with $26 million guaranteed."

good job getting him signed early

Wow I hope thats not true that would be an insane amount of money, if those actually turned out to be the numbers.

Gaines Adams: 6 Years $42 Million, $18.56 Million Garunteed.

Adrian Peterson 6 Years $40.5 Million, $17 Million Garunteed.

Ladanian Tomlinson 8 years $60 Million, $21 Million Garunteed.

He would be making nearly $20 Million and $8-9 Million more garunteed than the #4 Overall pick last year & the 1st RB taken last year. On top of that he would be making much more garunteed money than Ladanian Tomlinson.

If anything probably anticipating that the cap rises again significantly as part of a new CBA. The removal of the salary cap entirely is unlikely, as a league without a CBA likely means strike, and it's almost a certainty any new CBA will include a salary cap.

That's Reggie Bush type money. It's a decent contract.

Makes me nervous about having to sign two first round picks this year and then try to keep gamble and gross next year.

[NIN1984]

Great news. I can't wait for week one.

[661rep]

Well there wasn't much the Raiders could do when the #3 pick gets 72 million and almost 35mill guaranteed. Well good job by Al, McFadden, & his agent getting signed early.

I feel you Chiefs are in the same boat I think we can get the Albert at 15 deal done but Dorsey at 5 I'm not so sure it gets done before camp.
