re: Junior Galette "low-balled" by Saints?

something backloaded with a fair signing bonus. one that has an option to cancel if he doesn't pan out after 2 years. the numbers are irrelivant, because contracts are much more complicated than just a per year figure. to go along with your question though, I'd say a 3mill signing bonus for 5 yrs, with the first two years being in the 800K range and the 3-5 years in the 2mill range with a 3 mill roster bonus after year 2, which allows the team to evaluate and decide if they will retain him for those last three years or not.

Based on those numbers, you are likely arguing with people that agree with you. It is a lot more likely that the Saints offer is in that neighborhood and that Galette considers it a lowball offer than vice versa.

he may have an inflated sense of worth, but what player doesn't? if he is asking for 5 mill/year and refuses anything less, then he is insane and will be gone.

Again, you are arguing with people who have effectively said the same thing.
