Quote:No way he get what Riley Cooper got, IMO.  Better not since we just drafted two WR's so high, and he's had injury issues.

 

If we resign him soon, Cecil will probably get some where between what McCluster and Edelman got.  If he holds out, goodbye Cecil....

 

I think the will want to resign him to a deal that will be trade-favorable down the road.  Not one where nobody will want to touch him, and we'd just be forced to release him if Robinson and Lee do happen to outplay him.  

 

Not sure what drafting receivers in the 2nd round has to do with Shorts contract situation.  It didn't seem to concern Caldwell when he said they were working on an extension.  That $4-5 million range is pretty much where he falls. 

 

You're basically agreeing with what you're responding to if you bothered to look at Edelman's contract.  He's getting paid around $5 million per year under his current contract.  He has about the same total receiving yards as Shorts (1770 to Shorts' 1786), but it took him 5 years to get there while Shorts is coming off his 3rd year in the league.  Shorts also has more TDs, and a higher average.

 

McCluster is getting $3 million a year and Shorts has more receiving yards, averages 6 more yards per reception, and more than twice as many touchdowns, all accomplished in a year less than McCluster.

 

You didn't really bother to research this, did you?  It's okay to admit you just have an agenda here.
