$3.75M signing bonus over 3 years for a solid #2 QB who may have to start a few games at the beginning of the season? That's a bargain, even given Harrington's very limited success so far in his career.

$3.75M signing bonus over 3 years for a solid #2 QB who may have to start a few games at the beginning of the season? That's a bargain, even given Harrington's very limited success so far in his career.

The $3.75 million is guaranteed money. The actual cost is $5.75 million for two seasons ($3.75 million guaranteed). If the Dolphins like him, then they will have to renegotiate before the third year since includes a $10 million roster bonus, a $5 million base salary and an exorbitant cap charge of $15.733 million.At almost $3 million a year, it is a bit high for a #2 QB, but if they can get Joey back on track, then it will be more then worth it. ANd, of course, it provides a limited amount of insurance in the case that C-Pep does not bounce back.

That deal is a very good one for a team with a questionable Culpepper as their starting QB, IMO. If Harrington gets himself straightened out, he'll be a bargain. If he doesn't, he'll make fair money (for both sides) for a part-time starting QB for 2 years & then be sent packing before the third year.Hard to see any downside for both sides on this one.

Didn't disagree with you that there is little downside for either side. I just think that almost $3 million a year for a #2 is pricey. But we both agree that if Joey straightens himself out it may be a bargain. Its a gamble - but one worth taking at that price. So if you think Joey has the ability to be the #1 of the future, then $3 million a year to hold the clipboard, learn and play when necessary is not to much. Most teams do that with the QBs they draft anyhow.

The caveat is that Harrington is probably going to have to hold the fort until Culpepper is healthy again, and that could extend into the regular season - maybe well into the regular season. That increases his value to MIA if they are convinced he can do that.

I would think that the downside maybe CPEP isn't ready and Joey plays for for team that believes it has a shot right now to win. The downside is, Joey SUCKS really bad and the Dolphins will find that out. Even when he had time he missed wide open receivers and whined like a bittch. miami seemed to be doing all the right things, I just think not going after McNown instead of Joey will hurt them in the long run. I am pretty sure McNowns contract is lower in Detroit.That deal is a very good one for a team with a questionable Culpepper as their starting QB, IMO.

My main question is what does Saban do if the Dolphins are 5-0 when C-Pep is ready to play?

So when did Cade McNown get back in the league???

Better question, what does Saban do when the Fins are 0-5 and C-Pep is NOT ready to play?

QBs are such a highly paid position is 3 mil for a veteran backup w/ starter experience truly a high #?
