The Kansas City Chiefs contract extension to linebacker Andy Studebaker is for three years, per NFLPA records.

Studebaker was entering the final year of his contract in 2010.

He was due $470,000 in base salaries for 2010 but that is now $1.3 million so not a bad bump in pay.

He'll make just under $4.5 million the following three years topping out at just over $2 million in 2013.

There could be bonuses and things like that included but I've got no information on that.
So...not a bad week for the Wheaton product, huh?

i hadn't heard this yet

I sure hope he un-seats Vrabel from the starting LOLB position.

Old man Vrabel is just too ****in slow anymore.

pretty sure this is Vrabel's last year for any team

i sure wouldn't mind him sticking around to help coach though

he is slow as **** and still helps the defense

Damn, hope the kids agent asked for some escalators in that deal.

One things is for sure though, this shows they look at him as a starter and were willing to make a commitment to him in that role.

But I gotta ask...why couldnt this just be in the other two "Studebaker has signed an extension" threads?

That can't be.


The world ends in 2012.

i didn't see the other extension threads bumped and this is about the specifics of the contract not the news of the extension.

:shrug:

btw if the old thread was bumped i might not see it due to certain iggy issues.

sorry

More proof that Clark Hunt is cheap.

I hope we draft Von Miller in 2011, move Hali over to LOLB and have Studebaker as our #3 option/special teams guy for a long time.

I understand that he's the Chiefs Planet new Boomer Grigsby, but this team needs a full on speed rusher at ROLB. Stud nor Hali are that guy. Miller has the best first step I've seen since DT and you can't find a skill like that later in the draft.

Having Studebaker as the #3 guy would be ideal though.

Well done, sir.

That's the money you give a rotational player. I think they view this as a low-risk, high reward type deal for the Chiefs, but I don't think they are counting on him being a 10-12 sack guy, either.

The great white hype!!!!!

Why didn't Scott Pioli get him signed through 2014, damn it?

I keep hearing this "Keep Vrabel as a coach" talk. Would he even consider coaching, and if so why this team?

:D

I don't want to get off topic, but it's bugging me..

Jamaal Charles has worked his tail off and has done a lot to help this football team (especially last year when he was the only offensive player who should have gone to the Pro Bowl.) Charles helped lift the team up this season for the first regular season touchdown by a Chief from 56 yards.

He is still sitting with a crappy contract, and Studebaker gets an extension? This isn't to bash Studebaker. Good for him.. Do the Chiefs not want to keep Charles? :shrug:

Keep him? What do you mean? Without a CBA, he isn't eligible for free agency until 2014.

He's not going anywhere.

What rotational linebackers make 1.5-2 million dollars per year?

I may be wrong, but that seems a bit off.

Im really not trying to argue, I honestly dont know and would like to.

Studebakers contract is easy to do since he's not a big time player so contract discussions won't be a distraction. But Jamaal is the prime time guy on this team so Pioli likely wants to wait until the off season.

I'm sure a shit ton make that amount. That's nothing.

how closely did you follow the Chris Johnson situation?

I bet there aren't many his age that do. Vested vets, sure.

Can you provide 5 examples or rotational linebackers 25-26 making that kinda bread?

That's just not that much money, dude.

League minimum for a fourth year player is $550k.

There are teams like the Vikings and Cowboys that have $150 million dollar payrolls for 53 guys. Even though it's not all "even", that's nearly $3 million a guy.

This is a tiny contract.

Here's a list of every linebacker's salary in 2009.

http://content.usatoday.com/sports/f...n.aspx?pos=150

26 players made between 1.25 and 2 million dollars. Cut out some rookie contracts and you still have a shitload of players.

Some are older, some are younger, but a lot of players fit into that salary grouping.

NB: Those are cap values. The actual amounts, with bonuses, etc, will vary.

Hunter Hillenmeyer, Ricky Brown, Pierre Woods, Rashad Jeanty, Na'il Diggs. These are the kinds of guys who get paid like Studebaker.

Im not trying to argue it, but guards and linebackers get the least amount of the money out of those payrolls.

Id like to see some examples to see who they paid him comparatively to.

I nailed it when I showed Aaron Rodgers (6/65) was who they looked as a comparable guy to Cassel when they did his deal (and failed epically) and Id like to see who they comparatively paid Studebaker to.

That's all.

He wil make more than Clay Matthews this year according to rotoworld and his total value of the deal is more than Curtis Lofton signed for as a second rounder. He will make more than Jon Beason this year as well and he was a first rounder and is the same age... Just a couple examples.

I posted that before I saw Hamas' posts

Cushing and Tutupu are other guys he is getting paid like.

Im trying to keep it to players of similar age and pay rate

Both of those guys got signing bonuses, so their yearly salaries appear smaller to fit under the cap.

IMO... Studebaker raise is just about right for what he does on the field. He worked his ass off during the offseason, and it shows. He's a playmaker on special teams in the Gary Stills / Mike Maslowski mold and a respectable (not great) pass rusher on situational plays. Good for him and thanks to Hunt for showing the team that solid play on the field and offseason commitment pays off.

Charles will have a great year and then he'll get his salary redone.

He will be a FA after this season. Denver has signed Dumervil, Kuper, and Orton to contract extensions already and are working on extending Champ right now.

WHO will be a free agent after this year?

No one gives a shit bundle of sticks.

Jamaal Charles.

LMAO

Um, no.

Under the current CBA, the Chiefs will have his rights until 2014.

JFC, Dude.

:shake:

The current CBA will be gone by the time the next NFL season is played and no way will the players union agree to wait 6 years to become UFA's.

First off, you were incorrect in your original statement.

Secondly, before the uncapped year, players were restricted free agents after four years and fully free agents after five. That will NOT change, especially since teams around the league are beginning to decertify, which means there will be NO lockout and NO changes to the current system until both sides agree to a new CBA.

The last time this occurred, it took more than 4 years for the league and the union to ratify a new CBA.

So your points have absolutely NO merit.
