Not a free agent until next year, unless he signs an extension, but how much could Geno Atkins get?

You can tell Ed doesn't want to leave B-more.

Won't be surprised if he's done after 2013. Took him real long to sign w/ Houston, he's heart aint in it.

Packers CEO Mark Murphy recently described signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a new contract as a “priority.”

Soon, “priority” will be replaced with “reality.”

A new deal with Rodgers could be done soon, possibly before the draft.

“It is his time,” a league source with knowledge of the situation recently told PFT.

When it comes to value, don’t expect another nudging of the bar by a quarter inch or so. With Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco getting $20.1 million per year roughly eight months after Saints quarterback Drew Brees receiver $20 million annually, Rodgers could go as high as $23 million annually.

Which then will become the new height for which other quarterbacks aim.

Meanwhile, the teams with those ultra-high-priced quarterbacks will have less and less cap space available to fill out the other positions on the roster.

Rodgers might take up all of Wisconsin's economy with the deal he should get if Brees and Flacco getting 120 mill.

Sports Illustrated inks a deal fit for a (Peter) King - NYPOST.com

Sports Illustrated has inked a new deal with its star football writer, Peter King, for three years at more than $1 million annually.

The weekly is sweetening the deal with promises of launching a new football blog centered around King and supported by other, newly hired writers.

The move marks a big departure for Sports Illustrated and Time Inc., since the deal will involve not so much the SI brand but rather a single writer. The blog will be part of SI.com.

The signing means SI avoids getting another black eye as it did five and a half years ago when its reigning star, Rick Reilly, announced he was jumping to ESPN.

That multi-platform deal was reportedly worth $17 million over five years — making Reilly one of the highest-paid writers in the country.

The deal included heavy TV exposure on ESPN Sports Center and other segments — and eventually his TV workload forced him to abandon writing the biweekly column for ESPN The Magazine.

News also broke yesterday that Reilly has agreed to a new deal with ESPN.

“We’ll comment after his deal is signed,” said an ESPN spokesman.
@ Reilly
The King deal was seen as a key contract for Time Inc., given all the recent turmoil, and it was not an easy one to nail down.

It is estimated to value between $1.2 million and $1.5 million annually, making him one of the highest-paid writers inside Time Inc. today.

Terry McDonell, the former editor of the SI Sports Group, had been unable to wrap up a new deal before he retired, leaving it for his successor, Paul Fichtenbaum, to hammer out.

The old contract expired Feb. 28 and King, a regular on NBC’s Sunday Night Football package, had been putting off negotiating a new deal until after the NFL season.

That had created a sense of unease among the brass who feared they might lose another star writer.

SI would not confirm the dollar amount.

“I did consider five media options, including ESPN, but it came down to NBC or SI and loyalty to a place that has been so good to me since 1989 helped to make my decision to stay,” said King, reached on vacation in London.

He is expected to continue his commentary on Sunday Night Football for NBC.

“It’s safe to say Peter is very nicely paid,” said Fichtenbaum.

Regarding the coming SI football site, “It’s still in the planning stages. Right now, we’re just calling it Peter’s site.” He said he hopes to have it up and running by the time football training camps open in August.
