High stakes gambling: free agent style

(March 13, 2006) -- Start fitting Pro Bowl guard Steve Hutchinson for a Minnesota Vikings.

The $50 million offer sheet that Hutchinson signed Sunday with the Vikings includes a provision dictating that he be the highest paid offensive lineman on his team this season -- or the entire $50 million contract becomes fully guaranteed, according to someone who has seen the offer sheet. Well, Seattle offensive tackle Walter Jones averages $7.5 million per year, while Hutchinson's contract pays him an average of $7 million per year.

The Vikings made Steve Hutchinson an offer that will be tough for the Hawks to match.
So if Seattle matched Hutchinson's offer sheet, it not only would have to figure out how to squeeze in this year's $13-million-plus salary-cap figure, but it also would have to guarantee a whopping $50 million to Hutchinson, making it the richest cash contract in NFL history by a cool $15 million.

As it is, Hutchinson will be the fourth highest paid offensive linemen in football, behind only Jones, Orlando Pace and Jonathan Ogden.

The deal, devised by Hutchinson's agent Tom Condon, makes it exceedingly difficult for the Seahawks to match. One person involved in the composition of the offer sheet predicted the Seahawks cannot match it; the ramifications would be way too severe.

Seattle is said to be miffed not at the contract, but at Hutchinson's actions. As an act of good faith, the Seahawks opted to slap Hutchinson with the "transition" tag instead of the "franchise" tag, enabling the guard to solicit a deal that would be the best gauge of his market value. Seattle opted against the franchise tag only because it did not want to disenfranchise Hutchinson the way so many players slapped with the franchise tags are.

In turn, Hutchinson's agent devised one of the most innovative contracts ever created, a monumental deal that nobody in Seattle saw coming. Now, the overwhelming chances are, Hutchinson is gone.

Seattle does have one other option, but it is highly risky. It can match the offer sheet and appeal the terms of the offer sheet to the NFL's Management Council. A Special Master would hear the appeal and if it ruled against the Seahawks, Seattle would be obligated to pay Hutchinson $50 million.

It's probably a gamble the Seahawks cannot afford to take.

It looks like Hutchinson did not want to stick around with Seattle.

Uh, remember we're Chiefs fans. Hutchinson fucked YOU.

Look on the bright side, though - he didn't fuck you nearly as bad as the refs in Super Bowl. :)

Yeah, well I'm tired of getting fucked!

fuck it!

;)

ouch ... i'm sorry joe

not really ... but i tried ROFL

FWIW, nobody here is a Tom Condom fan. He's a low rent Rosenhaus and generally a team-wrecking douche.

This is fucked up.. First Joe Jureviscous takes LESS money to sign with fuckin Cleveland, Then Hutch bends us over and fucks us after we, in good faith let him establish his market value..

fuck you Hutch!

Bullseye

Because when it comes right down to it none of these guys are about team. Their loyalty belongs to whom ever coughs up the $$$$.
Here endeth the lesson. :)

Well it looks like he established his market value, and the hawks either can't or won't match it. So where's the problem?

We can match the offer so He'll still get as much as he would in Minnesota, except for this.. This is where he ****ed us..

Look at it this way Joe. You'll have the satisfaction of watching Minnesota go into cap hell in a couple of years. And getting to watch Hutch lead the parade to the unemployment line. :)

The way i hear it is.................

The seabags could have put the franchise tag instead of the transition tag on Hutch and no one could have signed him to an offer sheet they would have had to trade for him from and most likely the price would be a 1st and a 3rd round draft pick. The franchise tag would have cost the seabags 600k more than the transition tag.
That's the way Gil Brandt explained it on Sirius NFL Radio
