Look for Suh deal to be massive. I keep hearing$17M/year and $60M-plus guaranteed. If he doesn't land in Miami won't be for lack of effort

<<<gulp>>>.......I'm starting to feel quessy, that is a lot of coin

LOL. Redirect? My only comment on this thread was about Donkey Kong Soo!

And.....I posted a link to back it up.

Again, I was 12 years old when the Nation held it's breath in 1961 when Mickey Mantle signed for the staggering amount of $100,000 a year.

LOL chren but a house was worth 25 grand...back then. A car maybe 2 grand. Brand new.

Now a house is worth 25 mill.

You know. I thought about prices and inflation myself when I posted. But a gallon of gas was about 15 cents at that time in 1961 (may have even been less because I was an elementary school kid and when I was a teenager and started paying attention to those type of things it was .15 cents).

Now it's what about $4.00 a gallon (and that's out here in California), about 27 times more. So multiply $100,000 by 27 equals $2,700,000 a year salary.

That's not the top salary in all of professional sports today as was Mickey Mantle's salary was the top in all sports in 1961.

Nowhere near it.

Wow. I concentrated on the house and just now saw you thinking a car was $2,000. In 1961, it was more like between $500 and a $1000 for the average car. And the average house was about $6000 grand.

Average but not in Lawton, Oklahoma where I was as a 13 year old in 1961. Got those figures? That's what I was going on.

Whoa! And I remember in the 1970's gas being about 25 cents a gallon even in California, when I was driving.

But using your SALARY figures, Mantle would only make $1.9 million today. So considering your SALARY figures, I actually overstated what Mantle's salary would translate into today.

Suh has real opportunity for game-changing contract. Pre-qualify bidders by requiring fully guaranteed contract. Has leverage to do it.

^Anybody have an appetite for this^? ........Let's not get stupid boys

Hell no.

Anybody who gives him a fully guaranteed contract for 6 years $115-120m is clinically insane.

I wouldn't even give that contract to JJ watt.


Now if its a 3 year deal, thats a different story. Just better hope he doesn't get hurt.

Chargers to take a run at Suh...26 mil in cap space

No need to worry about the Chargers. Suh will not sign with a California team due to state income tax. You can take that as a guarantee.

RUMOR MILL: @ndamukongsuh signing with the #MiamiDolphins is basically a done deal:

anyone else think this is a ploy to get more $$ from DET or some other team? no news is leaked at this time without an agenda. everyone knows ross can be played like a fiddle to get more money elsewher

You are right Berk. We'd be much better off if Ross just put his money back in the vault and didn't get involved with pursuing any FA talent.

You do realize that when we get involved in bidding on a player and drive up the cost its a GOOD thing when another team beats us with an even more absurd offer...right? We don't get stuck with a ridiculous contract and someone else does, making it harder for them to sign other players.

Detroit has 17 mil in cap space. Already paying 17 mil each for QB and WR. Have FA starters at 3 DT spots, CB, G C...

Guess I was wrong if reports today are true we signed suh

if suh doesnt work out then at least we die trying...


We got to do something to change the culture of this team...



We got to draft receivers OLine men and Lbs....Maybe a cb.

Right! Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same result but expecting a different result by repeating it.

I think it's more the definition of stupidity.

The Dolphins are more stupid than insane.

Well in fairness the fins have given out huge fa contracts before but never to someone young uninjured and the best at his position. I'll take the suh deal over Wallace any day of the week

Chren nothing wrong with signing the best DT in football.

Im glad they finnally did something to change this thing around.

We have struggled against the run for quite a while now.

The lions led the NFL in run defense last year. I think suh had something to do with it.

Yeah, I was agreeing with you, SamSam.

Sorry my man.....you lost me on that one LOL.

Suh signing is a good thing.
