re: Did Mett have insurance to protect against future earnings losses b/c of injury?

Yea $5 mill per year.

I agree its still a very very good contract haha, but thats still a lot less than what Bradford got. Bradford got 6 years for $78 mill with $50 guaranteed, along with a $17mill signing bonus. So Bradford is guaranteed $77 mill. Luck got 4 year for $22 million with all of it guaranteed, with a $14mill signing bonus. So Luck is guaranteed about $36 million. Still half of what Bradford got. And i dont think Mett was going to be a lottery pick.

And look at the difference between a top 5 pick and a late 1st round pick. Matt Elam for the Ravens contract is 4 years for $6.7mill and a $3.3mill signing bonus.

I can work out 20 mill for life, hell I could work out 5 mill for life.

Mett would have probably went between 15 and 25 which would have netted him anywhere from 12 mill total to 14 mill while playing as back up.
