Frank Gore's New Contract - Page 3

I wonder what the Chiefs and Larry Johnson think of this contract?

Frank Gore will receive an initial signing bonus of $6.5 million and total guarantees of nearly $14 million. The contract will pay Gore $13.862 million in its first two seasons and $18.212 million in the first three years. Because Gore had one season remaining on his original rookie contract, the four-year extension creates a five-year deal, and the total value over the course of the five seasons is $28.012 million.

Base salaries are $450,000 (for 2007), $2.5 million (2008), $2.5 million (2009), $2.85 million (2010) and $2.9 million (2011). The contract includes a $4.165 million option bonus and roster bonuses of $1.75 million (2009), $1.85 million (2010) and $2 million (2011). Gore's full base salary of $2.5 million in 2009 is guaranteed.

I would think Larry will want much more than this.

Didn't Clements get 24 mil guaranteed? Gore's guaranteed is 14 mil which tends to prove the point that teams don't value HB's as much as other positions. Even though everyone always says getting a "shutdown" CB is somewhat obsolete because of the PI rules and the league's love of offense, the CB's get paid.
