Barwin Signed

[WMH]

PFT now reporting:

UPDATE: PFT's Aaron Wilson is reporting that Barwin received a four-year deal with a maximum total value of $4.01 million, according to a league source. That includes total guaranteed money of $2.461 million. The total value increase is 8.6% higher than last year's pick at his slot.

Great.........one to go. Cushing's agent has other clients selected before Cushing to get signed, so it may take a few days.

I look forward to watching Barwin play more than any other rookie this year.

It was reported that Brian Orakpo of Texas signed today with the Redskins. IIRC, Orakpo was #13 so you'd think the parameters for Cushing at #15 are close to being set.

fwiw, the chron reported the guaranteed money at $2.12 million, but the total contract value at the same $4.01 million. Adding min base salaries of $1.75 million over the four years, neither one gets to $4.01 million, so something is afoot here somewhere to throw off the cap estimate by $50k/yr... I'm going to guess Barwin might have like a $50k/yr workout bonus guaranteed in future years until I get better info.
