The Hutchinson injury really breaks my heart. BTW DT Peko is out for the season too, he's had a good season so far too, imo. Can't win meaningful games without an at least average D-Line and no pass rush. Sad, I've had high hopes for this season.
Hopefully it's a shootout in Minnesota and the Raiders get crushed. Maxx in Honolulu Blue would be a beautiful thing THIS year, let alone next year opposite Hutch.
Both Garrett and Crosby do not have anymore guaranteed money on their contracts after this season.Hopefully it's a shootout in Minnesota and the Raiders get crushed. Maxx in Honolulu Blue would be a beautiful thing THIS year, let alone next year opposite Hutch.
That's not the point. Either guy could be $50M AAV and I'd still do it. After the decades of historic ineptitude, Detroit is finally and officially in a window to win a Super Bowl. It's this season and maybe another year or two - after that they could blow up the entire roster for all I care, but RIGHT NOW is the time to pounce on an opportunity that might not come around again for who knows how long.Both Garrett and Crosby do not have anymore guaranteed money on their contracts after this season.
That being said, it would also require any team with their rights to hand them both restructured contracts that pay them high $20's per season for at least 2 and for Maxx 3 years since he's 2 years younger than Garrett.
Garrett has an option that can become guaranteed if he is still on the roster by the 1st week of the new league year but at only $19 mill, but again, an elite player like that is going to look to get his deal redone and get that pushed up by several million.
Crosby's cap hit for 2024 (base salary is $1.35 mill per game). Garrett's is much lower (ala Cooper due to a restructure) at like $70K per game.
