Curry Negotiations Start Monday  E-mail

Danny O'Neil confirms that Andy Ross, Aaron Curry's agent extraordinate, has confirmed the Seahawks and Curry will begin negotiations on Monday. This is good news, and hopefully they can work out a deal. In general, the two biggest factors are a) what did last year's #4 pick make? and b) what did the guy in front of and behind you make?

Last year, Darren McFadden (#4 pick) signed a 6 year, $60 million contract with $28 million guaranteed. However, Mark Sanchez (#5 pick this year) just signed a contract earlier in the offseason for 5-years, $50.5 million with $28 million guaranteed. I would say the odds are that Curry will sign a contract with about $29-30 million guaranteed that averages a hair over $10 million per year. Remember though, that will include incentives, escalators, bonuses, et cetera that will likely never be seen (at least, in theory).

Whatever happens, Aaron Curry is days away from being one of the richest men in the country before he ever plays a snap in the NFL. Here's hoping we can get a favorable contract and he can live up to, or exceed, expectations. Rookie of the year? MVP? Dreamboat captain? Time will tell!

Think he'll give us a discount? I remember him saying that he would take less than Stafford would if he was drafted first overall.

Here's hoping that he signs for 6 years. I'd hate to see a 4 year deal and then have to work on another contract in a few years, after he's been rookie of the year and made a few pro bowls.

The contract negotiations commence on Monday? On Monday? Nothing like waiting until the last minute! I understand it's not free agency, draft picks salaries are "slotted". (And it's helpful to evaluate what other selections have garnered.) Furthermore, I'm confident there have been preliminary "discussions". But I would have thought the negotiations would have begun earlier than the week training camp opens. Hell! Why not just wait until Thursday evening after a couple of beers? Say, maybe about 10:00 pm? Get together, have some adult beverages, and throw around some numbers? Having Curry in camp every minute is critical to his (and the D's) success. Get it done.

Does the lb position have very much to do with it say vs qb/rb/wr?
