Re: McKinnie Signs 2 year deal with Ravens
Well, count me as shocked this got done. Ozzie was content to let the market set itself for McKinnie...and it did with his visits. Will be interested to see the details, see how high we had to go to retain him. Will tell us if McKinnie's camp "won" by getting Ozzie to jump on a more expensive deal.

2 year max value of 7 million. no more details yet on the contract.
Re: McKinnie Signs 2 year deal with Ravens
I wonder how it is structured and what the guaranteed money is?

I can't find anything more at the moment. The only detail I saw from Aaron Wilson is that 7 mil includes incentives.
Re: McKinnie Signs 2 year deal with Ravens
Probably workout bonuses...weight clauses...etc.
Things that will actually motivate him to workout with the team during the off-season and maintain healthy practices.

Its been 2 years now of paychecks and from what i understand he owed 4.3m for missing ONE payments and its never been said if he didnt have some or all of it in his possession at the time. I have to assume hes gotten that mostly taken care of at this point, by either 2 years worth of pay and/or endorsements plus whatever savigns he may have had. Maybe he made enough with his record label...
side note: reading up on that is obviously a sign at how bad McKinnie is with money, but it also speaks to how shady that loan company was. The terms were ridiculous. extremely high rate, miss one payment and they can sue you for the entire loan+interest+fees+penalties. I guess anybody stupid enough to sign it is one thing, but a business saying theyre trying to help the players, certainly wasnt doint that based off this.
