i think its a good move. you have to protect the QB to have any chance in this league and this guy will do that

^Russell got $32 million in guarantees last year so expect something in that neighborhood. Paying that kind of dough for a right tackle though?

Yeah, that's why I asked. I was hearing that they didnt want to pay nowhere near that for him.

Good Deal, hopefully Rams pull off a trade with Saints and get the 10th pick plus their 2nd.

Shouldn't someone start the official NFL Draft thread now that the 1st pick is official? Just sayin...

I think he got like 5 years, $57 million with $30 million guarenteed. That's what I heard on Sirius Radio so the numbers may be off. Listening to them,that's a great deal for Long, because if he lives up to being a dominant tackle then he's renegotiating in 4 years.

the dolphins will almost certainly play him at left tackle. i don't think bill parcells would let the team draft him #1 and give him that muchmoney to play right tackle.
i do agree that the biggest question with jake long will be his ability to play left tackle in the NFL, but i think he'll be a very good left tackle. notelite by any means, but very good. i do think he'd be a great right tackle though. at the very least, he has the versatility to play both.

I agree. The contracts these players get right away are ridiculous.
