Would you pay Bowe $120-130M for 8 years?
According to...

The OP isn't about 10 mill a year. 8 years/80 million might be much more palatable.

If he doesn't pay Bowe 10 million a year, though, he's a shitbag.

Yeah but if he lets Bowe walk for nothing that's going to look bad. If a deal can't be reached this year tag Bowe again and hopefully get a draft pick for him.

All I'm saying is that I have no problem in paying Bowe. He might even be the best WR we've ever had. But he shouldn't get Fitzgerald money or Calvin Johnson money if thats what he is demanding. I'd be totally cool with giving him a $60-70 mill deal, but not any 100 mill deal, no way. |

People want to act like its a contract that will hamstring the organization for the next decade, when in reality the extra money for that "blank check" will annually only be the difference between journeyman scrub A, and young scrub B.

Good players hit the open market. It's part of football.
I'm sure the team has a reasonable offer on the table and I think they will get a deal done before the deadline. If they don't, I think that's more Bowe than Pioli. |

Jerry Jones admits Cowboys overpaid for cornerback Brandon Carr The Cowboys needed secondary help, so they went out and signed Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr to a lucrative $50.1 million deal, with roughly half that money guaranteed. Locking that much money up with one player will almost always lead to questions from Cowboys fans about whether the team overpaid. But according to DallasCowboys.com writer Rob Phillips, Jerry Jones has already answered that question for fans, admitting that he overpaid for Carr,* before backtracking on his previous statement. "We know we overpaid to get Carr," Jones said at the NFL meetings. "Not overpay -- we paid retail." Whether you believe Jones or not, most would agree that the Cowboys locked up money in a position that they desperately need to fill. Cortland Finnegan, another Cowboys free agent target, cost the Rams $50 million ($27 million was guaranteed) -- so maybe the Cowboys did overpay for Carr after all. So yeah... |

Is there any actual info that says Bowe is asking for a comparable contract?

I don't see them letting Bowe walk, especially with the cap floor coming into place next year.
They also have the cash cap to think about. The only reason they would let Bowe walk is if his demands are unrealistic. |
