Thread: Chris Harris: Pay me or trade me

He's a great player. I understand why he wants his money. But, I also understand as to why we might not want to give him that contract right now. If we really do think we are close to contending, however, it's hard to not pay him.

Hello, King.

Greetings, Nomad. I am looking forward to drafting our new ILB.

Kinger!!!

Oh....oh my.

**** it - trade him to Zona, take Murray or Haskins. Style. Trade three straight first round picks to number two and then draft Murray or Haskins. Have the greatest QB competition ever. Trade the other.

Why, are the Ravens paying his salary?

I'll be honest in saying I was surprised they signed 2 CB's in free agency, but maybe this was the plan all along. Who knows? But to say we are handcuffed because we may lose one of three top ranked CB's who is entering his 30's is an overstatement in my opinion.

I am saying to pay him 15 million a year would hand cuff us......as in that would not leave us money to pay other positions. I personally believe if we showed him some love, he would have taken less.

Little late getting back to this, but that's a valid point. I still don't think that he's getting 15m APY. At least not with high guarantees.

Im not sure if they are paying any of it or not but it really has nothing to do with Harris's situation. Lol

Elway isn't gonna pay him like that. It's just not Elway.

So...

Chris Harris' Contract Expectations Are a Complete Joke

The 29-year-old cornerback is entering the final year or his contract and is set to earn a base salary of $7.8 million. The contract's average annual salary of $8.5 million is good for 24th among active corners, not ideal for a guy fresh off his fourth Pro Bowl. He certainly deserves more than what he's made these last couple years, but he now wants to be the highest-paid corner in the league. And that's simply a ridiculously high asking price.

Yep. Dude deserves a bump. Dude does not deserve to be highest paid in the league. It's a silly, selfish ask. He put in his time and has been good for us, but if he just pumped the brakes a bit, both sides could be happy... With this initial offer though, the tone is pretty much set IMO.

Over his career, he's made over $47M because the Broncos took a flyer on a UDFA, and it literally paid off - for both parties.

To quote Obama (and not making this political, but...) "At a certain point you've made enough money."
