Yeah exactly. He's already missed right at half of his entire professional career. Just seems like a huge risk.

I assume they're putting a lot of money up front to take advantage of Herbert on his rookie deal


I don't know what the specifics of the deal are but I'd bet with his injury history the deal is only the deal if he's on the field.

Minkah Fitzpatrick’s deal he just signed is roughly:
$73 million / $36M guaranteed

Derwin James:
$76 million / $42 guaranteed

Looks like his injury history was not a factor at all. Minkah’s deal was the bar for a safety contract. They simply threw a few extra million at Derwin and raised the bar.
