Cards 1997 player salaries

[Ray Uniatowski]

Pick your guys and see if they earned their money last year. On a 4-12 team
is going to be hard. Maybe we can understand some of the teams moves in the
off-season, like letting go of Eric Hill. I don't have 1998 salaries. Total
salary for team was 36.95 Million.

>. Maybe we can understand some of the teams moves in the

I think we let go of Eric Hill because finally the coaching staff saw what so
many of us fans saw for years. He is overrated and overpaid. I don't know of
a player that made more downfield tackles and was less of a playmaker than
Hill. Good riddance. Check out the defense Vs the run in Hills absence vs
when he was in the lineup.

Next guy up on the chopping block is Larry Centers but that won't come until
next season when the Cardinals will have to figure out how to pay Rob Moore,
Jamir Miller, Eric Metcalf and 2 first round draft picks.

>Total
>Player, position Base pay Bonus 1997 pay
>Eric Swann, DT 2,000,000 1,500,500 3,500,500

He was worth more this year than in previous years IMO

>Aeneas Williams, CB 2,200,000 1,200,500 3,400,500

Definitely

>Lomas Brown, OL 2,000,000 1,000,500 3,000,500

He's sliding, but he's still the most consistent lineman.

>Rob Moore, WR 2,100,000 752,200 2,852,200

Definitely

>Eric Hill, LB 2,000,000 750,200 2,750,200

And how many games did he actually play?

>Larry Centers, RB 2,000,000 500,000 2,500,000

Maybe he'll do more under Trestman's offense.

>Simeon Rice, DE 595,300 1,845,200 2,440,500

Hopefully he'll rebound in his third season. Maybe not playing basketball will
help.

>Tommy Knight, CB 598,000 747,200 1,345,200

Nowhere to go but up

>Michael Bankston, DE 1,000,000 200,700 1,200,700

We're going to miss him. Of course, there's always that Wadsworth guy

>Jamir Miller, LB 615,000 450,000 1,065,000

Finally showed up last year

>Kent Graham, QB 650,000 88,700 738,700

Good riddance

>Leeland McElroy, RB 500,000 103,400 603,400

See above

>Frank Sanders, WR 375,000 150,500 525,500

One of the best 1-2 combos in the league

>Brent Alexander, S 470,000 34,100 504,100

Not really

>Jake Plummer, QB 241,700 233,300 475,000

Is there any question

>Joe Wolf, OL 460,000 2,900 462,900
>Mike Devlin, OL 400,000 53,600 453,600

Let the line play a full season together, and we'll see what develops

>Bernard Wilson, DT 400,000 51,900 451,900

Hopefully Mark Smith will show up big this year

>Pat Carter, TE 450,000 0 450,000

There's a reason hardy was drafted

>Jeff Feagles, P/K 300,000 105,700 405,700

The biggest loss of the off season, mark my words.

>Rob Selby, OL 400,000 500 400,500

eh

>Leshon Johnson, RB 365,200 700 365,900

It's a shame what happened to him

>Anthony Redmon, OL 361,000 2,200 363,200

The jury's still out

>Brad Ottis, DE 361,000 500 361,500

Gives us great D-Line depth

>Johnny McWilliams, TE 242,000 110,900 352,900

Tobin and Trestman really need to utilize the tight end more.

>Matt Darby, S 350,000 0 350,000

There's a reason Chavous and Tillman were drafted

>Stoney Case, QB 240,800 94,500 335,300

Back up for life???

>Jerry Drake, DE 300,000 2,400 302,400

Didn't really do much.

>Kevin Williams, WR 300,000 0 300,000

I'd take Eric Metcalf any day.

>Cedric Smith, RB 275,000 3,600 278,600

Worst running attack in the NFL, 'nuf said

>Anthony Edwards, WR 275,000 700 275,700

He's okay, nothing special

>Trey Kunkin, TE 275,000 500 275,500

What's the league minimum??? Is a long snapper really worth this?

>Mike Caldwell, LB 275,000 0 275,000

I think he did well last year

>Ty Howard, CB 180,000 80,000 260,000

He impressed me almost as much as Knight

>Aaron Graham, OL 183,000 57,500 240,500

Give him time

>Terry Irving, LB 196,000 33,100 229,100

He's worth it

>Chris Dishman, OL 153,000 56,700 209,700
>Chris Gedney, TE 196,000 3,400 199,400

He should have been the go to tight end all of last year

>Kwamie Lassiter, S 196,000 3,400 199,400

nope

>Derrick Moore, RB 196,000 1,700 197,700

nope

nope

maybe

nope

>James Dexter, OL 164,000 23,400 187,400

maybe

>Tommy Bennett, S 164,000 1,200 165,200

no

>Ronald McKinnon, LB 164,000 700 164,700

Definitely, give this man what he's worth

>Joe Nedney, P/K 164,000 0 164,000

A little accuracy, and he'll have an impact

>Mark Campbell, DT 164,000 0 164,000

Worth it

>Tony McCombs, LB 137,500 12,000 149,500

worth it

>Mark Smith, DT 135,000 9,000 144,000

A steal last year

>Thomas Guynes, OL 131,000 1,800 132,800

Give him time

>Fred Brock, WR 131,000 0 131,000

Nope

nope

>Kenny Harris, S 131,000 0 131,000
