Hope that's four years on top of his contract year like Thomas's was, but I suspect it may not be since Sherm's final year of his rookie deal pays him peanuts.

Of course it is an extension. The big signing bonus takes care of this year's paltry salary.

Signing bonus would negate any complaints about his paltry salary this year and play nicely with the cap.

It's pretty common to rip up the final year of the current contract in working out an extension. Anyway, I hope you're right.

Of course it is.

These are extensions .. not new deals. So basically we have Sherm for the next 5 years, just like Earl.

You mean I may be wrong in not entirely trusting "guy on reddit"? The horror!!! :mrgreen:

Thomas's final year was not ripped up, he just got a big chunk of his signing bonus to make up the difference. So I assume the same game plan contract wise will be used for Sherman.

It not only helps keep this year's cap number friendly, but it becomes a TRUE extension. If you rip up this year, then it's not an extension, and you lose a year on the deal.
