re: Saints sign Unger to an extension

Aren't most of the Guarantees usually already paid out by the final year of the deal?

Also with the way contracts are skyrocketing Osemele signed a 5 year 58 million dollar deal, and Alex Mack got 5 years 47 million last offseason...I think we got a discount. We also avoided overpaying on the open market.

As to whether he will earn the money...that really depends on Loomis/Ireland upgrading both OG spots next offseason. If we can put people on both sides of him that can carry their weight (either draft, FA, or both) It will make his life just a little easier and in that situation I fully expect him to earn most of his contract.
