Unhappy with his contract, Broncos running back Willis McGahee recently joined a long list of NFL players who have fired agent Drew Rosenhaus according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post.

The Broncos recently informed Rosenhaus they would not renegotiate McGahee's contract just one season into his four-year, $9.5 million contract.

He has blown away my expectations.

And if he's a asking for a couple of million more. I don't see how we cannot give that to him if he performs at the same level this year. Like He rushes for 1,200 = BONUS, He makes the pro-bowl = BONUS, wins a playoff game = BONUS.

I'm all for that

He outperformed his contract. That's the tough part, on one hand you want to be seen as an organization that rewards guys for effort but you also don't want the reputation of pushover either.

McGahee will be 31 in October. Nuff said. I don't blame EFX for not wanting to give him big bucks and a long term contract.

He is old, gets hurt alot so I would not give him more $ . Use that $ on a young RB.

He's the only RB on the roster worth one dime.

Cut Moreno and give McGahee a modest raise.

You can always try to do these as incentive based. Players don't like them, but there is a motivational factor that benefits both parties.

IMO, all player contracts should be incentive-based, and especially for those
of McGahee's age. As Chaz mentioned, McGahee clearly outplayed his
contract, and, if he were to keep that up, it would be a shame not to reward
him accordingly. And the only way to do that would seem to be with incentives . . .

I wouldn't do it yet. If he performs again like he did this season, give him a little bonus. It's not like he's Victor Cruz making garbage $$ and tearing up the NFL.

Agreed.
He's old, comming off a productive season and is at the end of his career. He wants his money now. Hope we don't bite.

WTF is he gonna do with the moon anyway?
put it on a chain and wear it around his neck?
I am all for incentives added, along with some more coin up front !
If all he actually wants is a BIGGER PAYCHECK, then we shoulod contact the PGA and find out where they have those big paychecks printed/ fabricated.

Oh Zam, I do appriciate what he did last year, I do. However, with the amount we ran last year he should have had a good year. I think we could replace him though.

Better consider the extreme drop-off when he was out. I believe a huge part
of the team's running success, and Tebow's running success, was the threat
of McGahee out of the backfield. Yes, they can replace McGahee, but with
another very good back, not just any back . . .

Lol,

Victor will get his payday. It wasnt like Victor was going to get a huge contract before he hit the field. He was basically a nobody.

^This

We've seen all too well that even drafting a first round RB guarantees nothing. Production on the field counts and should be rewarded. Like i said, no need to overapay him but lets not be a tight stingy organiztion either. No player will want to play here if we dont want to at least reward the guys who are performing.

I agree North, however, he's 31 yrs old. You can't stretch to far with him. I'd rather pay the money to younger FA guys like M. Bush, The law firm, etc.. I do like Willis but he's at the end and injury prone.

The Broncos should keep his base contract the same but include more bonuses in next years contract. Just a little something more to motivate him to get to 1200 yards again. We should also think about adding a couple of more years to the deal too. Our running game didnt look the same when he wasnt in there and you all know it.

toad has the right of it, folks. . .

everybody appreciateds the year willis had, but he was never going to be more than a stopgap, and that hasn't changed. . . dude is 31 years old and very injury prone. . . if they want to add more performance incentives to his deal, fine-- but he's too old to get another big contract. . . he should be very happy to have a starting job at all at his age-- don't get greedy! dude should worry about staying healthy this year and not fumbling as much. . .


if doug martin actually lasts 'til our second pick, mcgahee could find himself competing for his job this year-- he might not want to make himself too big a pain in the FO's ass before the draft. . .

He's lucky to have his current contract. Even if he is the offensive MVP, on this offense that's not sayin much. Should be a backup.......

Simple Jaded
03-04-2012, 03:41 PM
They brought him in to compete for a starting job, he shoulda thought of that before he signed his contract.

Remember too, Denver has a long-standing policy of not re-negotiating contracts with more than 1 year left on his contract. If they made TD wait they'll have no problem making McGahee wait.......

If McGahee wants to get out from Denver, then get RB Michael Bush. End of the story!

No he hasn't. He has SLIGHTLY ourtperformed the first 1/4 of his contract. Did he play well? yes. Does he deserve more money? no. As good as he looked AT TIMES, his constant injuries and fumbles don't bode well for the next 3 years...especially at his age. If he busts the next 3 seasons, or even 2 of em, he made 9 mil for 2 solid seasons. So far he has only performed well duing 1 of em. Not bad pay for that if ya ask me.

After The Denver Post reported Sunday that Willis McGahee had fired his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and is unhappy with his contract, the running back took to Twitter to emphasize his desire to stay with the Broncos.

Peyton Hillis has gone through 3-4 agents because he overvalues himself and the fired agents weren't getting what Hillis wanted. McGahee is doing the same thing only compounding it by wanting a raise at the end of his prime/career. The running game may have been a bright spot for the Broncos this year but, IMHO, McGahee doesn't deserve a raise. Stats show that a RB's play will start to decline right around age 31.

Fox said end of this year they are going to limit willis carries. I think the number was 150-200 they want him to get.

he is signed for 4 years, we have no need to restructure
we are going to get another back in FA or draft. We hold the cards
He is getting up there in age.


I would not give him a new deal either. He wont hit the numbers he did last year, as he will carry the ball less.




He is just fine with where he is

SIDE NOTE:
Not a McDaniel's apologist, but I wonder how the haters of the Hillis trade are feeling now. Not that we "won" the thing, but it appears that Hillis isn't quite the asset alot of folks wanted him to be...

still wish he was here... in fact I have been hoping maybe he ends up back here..

he did deserve a pay raise from his 6th round pay rate after being a man recking crew for cleveland 2 years ago.. my only knock on him is he does seem to get a hurt a lot..

McGahee can kiss my left nut.

He signed a contract, he's bound by the terms.

1200 rushing yards and a plethora of injuries does not justify a brand new contract. Everybody and their mom knows that McGahee will not match that production in 2012.

McGahee had a great year and overwhelmingly surpassed my expectations...

However, I doubt he would have put up those numbers if we weren't running the Read-Option...

I know tons on here will probably disagree with me on this, but I think the fact that teams arent used to preparing for it, coupled with the need to dedicate at least one defender to be responsible for QB contain opened up a lot of running lanes for him...

I don't see McGahee putting up those kinds of numbers again, as we are supposedly scaling back on the read option and teams now have a year's worth of film on it.
