Why does everyone assume the numbers are accurate?
Even if it is accurate, by way of comparison, LT signed an 8 year 60 million dollar deal with 21 guaranteed. The cap has gone up around 25% since that contract was signed, so a first demand for 8 years 80 million isn't far off. The 34 guaranteed is insane, but it's part of the negotiation process. The 80 million portion is monopoly money away. It could be 8 years 800 million - it wouldn't matter as those final years are always inflated and the money is never seen nor paid.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
