That is only about 1 million per holding call.

Unbelievable.

Re-sign Tony Brown and Keith Bulluck.

Anyone think they should put the franchise tag on Keith?

From nfl.com:

Veteran guard Eugene Amano signed his five-year, $25.7 million contract with the Titans on Wednesday, keeping one of the more coveted potential free agents off the market.

Amano is now signed through 2014, according to a league source. Had he hit the open market, the Redskins, who are badly in need of offensive line help, were likely to be among his suitors.

Amano’s deal will pay him $12 million in 2010; he will earn $18 million over the first three years, according to a league source.

Amano will receive a signing bonus of $7.25 million, and $3.087 million of his 2010 salary is guaranteed. His full 2010 salary is $5.265 million. He is set to earn $2.68 million in 2011, $3.18 million in 2012, $3.685 million in 2013 and $4.187 million in 2014.

Amano, one of the key players along the NFL’s better offensive lines, has been performing at a Pro Bowl level.

The Titans also are interested in re-signing Pro Bowl center Kevin Mawae before March 5, when he would become a free agent. The team hopes to make progress with Mawae, and expect them to initiate more serious talks soon. However, if Mawae is looking for more than what aging centers such as the Ravens’ Matt Birk and the Colts’ Jeff Saturday received last year, he’s likely end up hitting the open market.

i see it this way we paid him, at least we know what we got ………………………………. move him to center , that takes care of center harris moves to guard, either that or leave him at gaurd and harris to center …..harris is still playing under his first contract i think , so its peanuts … really it is not that bad …i think it would be worse if we paid that much for kevin mawae…….for a old guy .20 yrs in nfl .. …….so i think its not that bad if we either move him to center or not or move harris who is already locked up ….we have our o line set for a few years …and good for cj to run behind these guys ….

NFL player salaries are here.

$5.25 mm (next years base salary) would have been the 8th highest base salary for a lineman in the entire league last year. $12 mm in 2010 (total salary) would have made him the highest paid lineman in the NFL last year. Let that sink in.

You totally deserve your contract.
