Lavelle Hawkins Deal Reportedly Worth $7.2 Million

Terry McCormick is reporting via Twitter this morning that the deal Lavelle Hawkins signed last week is worth $7.2 million over three years. Here is the breakdown via McCormick:
#Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins' 3 yr deal worth $7.2 million with a $2 million signing bonus. Hawkins will have base salaries of $800k in 2012, $1.9m in 2013 and $2.5m in 2014.
That seems like a very reasonable deal. That means his cap number for this season is about $1.47 million. That is perfectly reasonable for a 4th/5th receiver.
It is also good that his base salaries escalate as time goes on. To me that says that there is pretty much no shot that he gets cut this season, but he will only stick each year after that if he continues to improve because his cap number goes up pretty significantly in the final two years.
Hawkins showed a lot of improvement as the season went along (there was one point in the year that I wanted them to release him). Here is to hoping that he will be even better in 2012.

This deal is absolutely reasonable.
If he turns into a good player, we get to hang onto him at a low price for the next two years.
If he doesn’t and we want to cut him after this year, no harm done.
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

very happy with this deal
I met hawk during training camp his rookie year and thought he was such a down to earth, nice guy. ever since, ive been pulling for him. after the production he had last year i think this is a great deal for the titans. i know matt hasselback really likes him and mentioned a few times about how good he is at working through press coverage and getting off the line. congrats to hawk!
good deal for both sides and leaves us with more cap room to go get a top FA

Anyone who meets Hawk will instantly love him. I met him when he went to Cal.
He came to my HS football game and we spoke for a bit. He’s very humble and just like any other guy. He told me about how avoiding the wrong cliques and groups can help influence your decision making. I love the guy and am happy he’s back.
Lemme See Your HANDS!
yeah, man he is hilarious
he can make anybody smile and laugh.

My thoughts exactly
Prior to this explanation, your mancrush made my brain hurt trying to comprehend why. Now it doesn’t hurt so much.

Wow. Clearly they think quite highly of him.
I think this illustrates that he’s going to continue to get a lot of opportunities in our offense.

I don't think either will amount to much, honestly.

why don't you expand on this line of thinking?
It is also a 3 year deal.
Little if any guaranteed, but that signifies to me that’s a bigger commitment than you think

Wow so Jimmy approves the signing ...
and now EVERYONE thinks it’s a great idea and loves Hawkins.
Good to know most of you guys wait for “daddy” to approve your opinions.
