One of the questions during Wednesday’s edition of “Blue 42” was whether it’s time for the Seahawks to give Justin Britt a Troy Hill Youth Jersey contract extension now that he’s eligible for one as he enters the final year of his four-year rookie deal. Brock Huard doesn’t think so. Nor do I. The simple explanation is Adam Jones Youth Jersey that as well as Britt played last year following his move to center, there doesn’t need to be any rush on Seattle’s end to make a long-term commitment to him at what will likely be significant cost. The five highest-paid Willie Young Youth Jersey centers in the NFL, based on annual average, make around $9 million per year. For the next five, the annual averages are between roughly $5.5 million and $8.5 million, per the website Spotrac.com. If I’m Britt, I would want – and would feel justified in asking for – a contract that at least puts me somewhere in the bottom end of that top 10. And if I’m the Seahawks, I would want to see another season of Britt http://www.teamdolphinsproshop.com/shop-by-players-reshad-jones-jersey-c-1_47.html at center before paying him that kind of money. Remember, last year was his first one there after starting at right tackle as a rookie in 2014 then left guard in 2015. What type of leap will he make in 2017 with a year at center under his belt? How will he develop into the leader of Seattle’s offensive line, a role he can now start to grab hold of in a way he couldn’t last http://www.teamdolphinsprostore.com/shop-by-players-walt-aikens-jersey-c-1_49.html year while he was still learning the position on the fly? There are obvious benefits to extending players a year before their deals expire. It eliminates the risk of losing them in free http://www.teamseahawksprostore.com/chose-cheap-kam-chancellor-31-jersey.html agency as well as the bidding war that can drive up prices when multiple teams get involved. That’s the tradeoff the Seahawks have used to – somewhat improbably – keep so many of their star players, extending them with a season left on their deals as opposed to waiting until free agency. The player may leave some money on the table compared to what he could make on the open market, but he gets to cash in a year earlier. |
