Baker Extended

Love the years, price tag seems slightly high but manageable. Solid move. 

Yep.  Been a done deal for a week now, they just wanted to unleash the cork game week.

I'm not sure I follow. Why would they delay a done deal? 

 

Fantastic! The team needed a franchise QB and they got their guy. It puts a ton of speculation to rest. Glad to see this today.

it's almost like these things work themselves out. 

 

so much for that training camp deadline 

So, he basically got the same exact offer from last month; but with an extra non-guaranteed year.

Isn't it slightly more per year but the voidable last year? 

I'm trying to find the apples to apples comparison online

so like many negotiations the closing period was mostly polishing the deal so both sides could claim a win? 

 

Good for both sides to get this done before the season started.

More or less, yes. 

Basically, a team option for 2029.

I don't know the guaranteed money, but the dead cap money is $59 mil wihch honestly seems  a little low.  It says $50 mil guaranteed.  However, there could be, is likely to be, some additional money that is virtually guaranteed and locks in if he's on the roster next season or something like that.

It's because the actual details haven't been released yet. 

So, I'd wait on Spotrac. 

 

I'm trying to understand what he got that changed his mind. It's the slight bump in annual salary? Because a voidable third year doesn't seem to really do much for him...
