DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Fair Value Terrell Pryor

In my opinion, keeping Pryor is more important than re-signing Collins.

I think Pryor is still raw and has a lot of room to grow. I think he has enough arrogance that he will work his butt off to become the best WR he can possibly be. That is NOT an insult. I have never had a problem w/guys who want to be the best. Competitiveness is a good thing and I don't care what soccer moms say. LOL

Hopefully, the two sides can come together. There is still time.

I agree. The point I was making was that he is in a "between" mode right now. I just don't think Teams are gonna throw $$$ at him without a bigger sample size. I mean someone listed some pretty good receivers and the money they were getting was around 8 - 9 mil a yr. So that tells me that even a good experienced Rec. is getting less than 10/mil a yr. I think our FO is letting him set his price in FA and then we'll better it.

Tagging Pryor means you are setting a price at 15m and placed that as a value you are willing to spend. Once you offer an amount it very difficult negotiating smaller later. Paying Pryor top dollar gives him no incentive elevating his game.

Personally I think Sashi offers Pryor 10 or 11 with a second year option. Pryor continues elevating his play make him highest paid receiver next year with a long term contract. If Pryor gets hurt, extend the option.

Right now agent most likely is demanding top pay. Sashi thinking 8-9. I see no reason for both sides not to see what others are willing to pay. Pryor is a unique case.

What you fail to understand is that players and agents aren't looking for incentive based contracts.

A. Brown just signed a contract that doesn't have incentives. It's a signing bonus, yearly salaries, and a series of roster bonuses.

Pryor isn't looking for a contact that pays him X if he has 50 catches or Y if he has 95 catches.

The only real incentive in front of him is making the team.

Here is a link on Browns contract.
