I'm putting the over/under price on Timmons at $5.5 million a season. And I would expect a 4-year deal to help spread out the salary cap financing.
So a good deal for the Steelers would be 4-years, $20 million. A good deal for Timmons would be 4-years, $24 million. I think just like the old deals for Farrior and Ward in their waning years, the board here is undervaluing the dollars.
Remember, Farrior signed a 5-year deal at age 33 and had a signing bonus above $7 million in today's dollars. I think if I was Timmons, I would be asking the same thing. Maybe 4-years, $21 million with $6-7 million in signing bonus. I'm not saying I would sign that, but I think that is the number we're talking about.
