Money For Marcus

There has been way too much time wasted on discussing the Pats contract extension for OL Marcus Cannon. It works out to be 5 years for $32 million.

We all know that he will never see all of this money. It's a typical NFL contract that isn't guaranteed. Coach Belichick seems to really like him as player.

Why did they redo this contract with so many other potential free agents? His contract value turns out to be #21 for starting right tackles at $6.6 million annually. Sounds like a bargain.

At some point, he will renegotiate this contract or be released by the team.
