December 5, 2014 at 2:41 pm #13149wvParticipantAaron Donald‘s contract, btw:
6/12/2014: Signed a four-year,
$10.136 million contract.
The deal is fully guaranteed,
including a $5.692 million signing bonus.
2014-2017: Under Contract, 2018: Club Option, 2019: Free AgentNow, how good does THAT
look now 🙂w
vDecember 5, 2014 at 3:16 pm #13150canadaramParticipantGood.
He’s more than just a good punter obviously. He’s Legatron’s holder, he’s a specialist at trickeration, and he’s an emergency QB. Plus he’s as likable a Ram that I’ve seen in a loooonnnng time.
December 5, 2014 at 3:18 pm #13151joemadParticipantNot bad for a guy with a perfect career passer rating of 158.3
5 for 6 completions, 79 passing yards with 1 TD and no INTS…..
December 5, 2014 at 3:22 pm #13152canadaramParticipantAlso great to keep a guy who plays such a pivotal role in controlling field position when you can’t play the Raiders every week.

That averages about 3M per fake punt. Not a bad gig.

vApples and Oranges. You can’t compare the two contracts at all.
Donald’s contract is his rookie contract. It is set by the CBA.
Hekker’s contract is his second contract after being all pro last year and having a very good year this year.If you want to compare contracts try Apples to Apples. Like Donald’s and Hekker’s rookie contracts.
Or Hekker’s contract with Quinn’s contract or maybe what Donald will receive when his rookie contract is up.December 5, 2014 at 4:20 pm #13167wvParticipant<div class=”d4p-bbt-quote-title”>wv wrote:</div>

I was simply noting that A.Donald’s contract
looks great to me. An allpro DT for not-so-big-bucks.w

ESPM Presents: The Best (& Worst!) NFL Punter Contracts
Using the same method as my other posts about various good and bad NFL contracts, these are the best, best-paid, worst, worst-paid, and–most importantly–most over and underpaid punters based on their average annual salary and their play in the 2013 season.
A player’s contract quality is determined by the number of standard deviations their performance grade is above/below the average at their position, minus the number of standard deviations their average annual salary is above/below the average at their position. Player performance grades come from Pro Football Focus; salary details come from Spotrac.com.
Teams presumably pay players based not only on their on-field ability, but on their skill at attracting fans and sponsorships, their locker room mentality, and other intangibles. But then again, presumably not many fans watch an NFL game to see a punter.
These are the results. In particular, note where Johnny Hekker, an undrafted free agent signed by the Rams in 2012, pops up throughout the various measures.
The Best 5 Punters of the 2013 NFL Season (PFF Grade in Parentheses)1. Shane Lechler, HOU (40.9)
2. Johnny Hekker, STL (36.1)

24. Jeff Locke, MIN (-10.6)
25. Adam Podlesh, CHI (-10.8)The 5 Highest Average Punter Salaries of the 2013 NFL Season (millions of $)
1. Britton Colquitt, DEN ($3.892 million)
2. Dustin Colquitt, KC ($3.75m)
3. Mike Scifres, SD ($3.625m)
4. Andy Lee, SF ($3.4m)

3. Brad Nortman, CAR (2.12)
4. Chris Jones, DAL (1.48)
5. Ryan Allen, NE (0.85)The 5 Worst Kicker Contracts of the 2013 NFL Season

22. Mike Scifres, SD (-1.26)
23. Britton Colquitt, DEN (-1.39)
24. Dustin Colquitt, KC (-1.79)
25. Adam Podlesh, CHI (-2.06)December 5, 2014 at 9:17 pm #13189MackeyserModeratorYeah… ask Minny if it’s a good idea to get rid of a good punter.
Not so much. Especially with Fisher’s game plan, field position is key, so having a punter that can do all that Hekker can do is totally worth the money.
Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

I like it when the players the Rams draft and develop are worth keeping.

I dunno. Bringing back Hekker
is bound to cause a QB-controversy.w

vHekker + Bradford + Hill + Davis = an embarrassment of riches.
