Donald Butler signed a 7 year contract extension with the San Diego Chargers on March 1, 2014. The total value of the contract is $51.8 million and it contains a $11.15 million signing bonus. In 2016 the Chargers must decide to pick up an option on Butler. The option is worth $12 million. If they fail to exercise the option the 2017 thru 2020 years of the contract will void. Butler can also earn escalators in the final years of the deal. Base salaries of the contract are $750,000(2014), $3,250,000(2015), $4,650,000(2016), $4,000,000(2017), $4,650,000(2018), $5,350,000(2019), and $6,000,000(2020).

I believe they can cut him after this season and the $9.27 million cap hit is accelerated, which can be split into two years just like Meachem and Gaither were so it would be $4.635 million cap hit for 2015 and 2016.

I wonder what they're going to do with the RB position. I can't see Mathews coming back even at a good price. He has crazy talent but just misses too many games. Donald Brown is scheduled to make $3 million next year. He's not worth that either. They can cut him and take a $2.16 million cap hit.
I like TT's draft picks so far but he needs to step it up big time with his signings.

It's pretty apparent that the draft is not enough to accumulate enough talent to make a SB run. There have to be strategic FA signings of high quality starters to improve the squad. With cap hell being over, we'll see if the Spani will shell out the money.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.

turns out he's really toxic in the locker room or something, I think he'll stick around for another year since cutting him only saves $800k or so in cap space.

Originally posted by thelightningwill View PostI don't like the draft picks. Too injury prone. And some just haven't been good. Allen is probably the best pick, but even he hasn't been good with consistency. I can't think of another era in which wide receivers have been this bad at getting open. Fluker is overrated. I'm trying to think of another draft pick who plays in many games. Maybe Watt? Looks like he might still need time on the practice squad.
Verrett has obvious great talent and it's too early to call him a Ryan Mathews. Carrethers looks like he could be a late round gem. Attouchu is a raw player and needs more time to develop but he's showing flashes that should excite people. Look at how long it's taken Ingram to finally take off and he was a much more polished player. The only pick that looks like a true scrub is Tourek Williams but he was a late round pick so no big deal there.
