Rumor- "samuel Said To Be A "done Deal""

Backloaded or what?

Well, Nate Clements' deal is realistically a 6 year, $54 million deal, not the 8 year, $80 million that was reported. Clements will never see the end of that deal, which is basically where all the money is at. I don't know about the Saints potentially locking him up for 10 years (isn't the maximum 7 yrs.???), but the deal will definitely be potentially AT LEAST $10 million per year. So yes, the potential deal would probably be backloaded money that Samuel will never get.
