Quote:Okay, here's the deal. 

 

Hurns has 2 years left at a minimal salary.  Let's just say for argument's sake his current salary is $500,000.   Then let's say he deserves the kind of money other WRs are getting: maybe $8 million per season.   So we give him a 4 year extension.   That would lock him up for the next 6 years.   

 

4 years at $8 million = $32 million.    Add the approximately $1 million he's due to make over the next 2 years.   $33 million.   Divide the $33 million by 6 years.   That's just over $5 million per year.   Make a big chunk of it into a signing bonus.   

 

Give him a $9 million signing bonus, and pay out the remaining $24 million over the next 6 years at aprox $4 million per year. 

 

So, he can either stay at minimal salary for the next 2 years, or he can put $9 million in his pocket right now, plus $4 million per year for the next 6 years.

 

That's a $33 million contract for an undrafted free agent WR.   He'll take it.
