Birds Sign Rodney McLeod

[Sect 236]

5 years, 37 mill.

Edit: Safety from Slizz's Rams. Any info Slizz?

[BigSlizz]

Eeeee, I'd rather they'd gone after Jenkins.

Assuming he's going to take Thurmond's spot... The only thing I really can add here is Fisher likes guys who can do a lot of different things (Mark Baron lined up at LB for example). So that might be the plus to him.

Pro Football Focus rated him 10th best safety.

[BIG JAY]

McLeod is a true S...Jenkins is a CB, right?

[BigSlizz]

Correct. I'm saying if I had to sign someone from that Rams secondary, it would be Jenkins.

[J_Cuz31]

Nnamdi McLeod. Howie just cant help himself.

[BIG JAY]

Not for over 60 mil though! We just got out of one of those deals! McLeod addresses a huge need for half that.

[Melchior]

Holy shit, this guy's range is incredible:

No offense to slizz but I will take the opinion of people with a bit more knowledge of him and football in general so I like this signing.

[BigSlizz]

Hey, man, I can't be right about everything (I called Chase Daniel last week, btw).

He was very nondescript, so I guess it's good that I wasn't noticing him.

[CbEagle]

I will give you sammy though.

[BigSlizz]

I'll go out on a limb (without looking it up) and claim that I predicted Sanchez, too.

According to Roob

McLeod base salaries: $1m, $4m, $6m, $7.5m, $8.5m. SB $8m. ’16 & ’17 base fully guar. $200K Pro Bowl escalators '17-'20. 5 yrs, $35 million.

So if he can't play...there's about $16-$22 mil of that he'll never see. Could essentially end up a 2-year $13 mil contract. Not exactly Bambi/Suxwell territory.
