I like this site better as it does not go to Google first.
The best source is overthecap.com. Search on the player's name.Tempest_Crow":23ns7agy said:As is how long and for how much?

And it doesn't teach people that silly threads that are answered in a simple google search are lame. :roll:

Of course Google...why not just use google. I mean seriously people, who wants to actually turn subjects into discussions anyway? Message boards are so yesterday.....on to Google and away from interaction altogether

I don't see him as holding out. This is the final year of his 3 year deal. I think we could very well get a deal done with him to extend his contract. He's earned one and it would likely have a slight reduction in his cap hit for this season (currently at $5.6 million) if they structure it wisely.
Overthecap.com doesn't differentiate between slot receivers and those lining up outside... but if you look at the list of WRs and what they're average salaries are you'll find that the highest-paid slot receivers are paid slightly more than Doug got in his last contract.Laloosh":2ol2fnrj said:Dare I ask what some of the top slot receivers in the league make or is someone going to provide a link to google?
Laloosh":1a67dy61 said:I'm more worried about Baldwin declining an extension in favor of playing it out. I'd wager that he's caught the eye of teams across the league and would make some nice money in the slot elsewhere.
If we can extend him I'd be excited to see them do it. He's convinced me.

“It pisses me off, to be honest with you, when people call me a slot receiver, because that's not who I am,” Baldwin said. “That was just my position when I got here, that's where they told me where they wanted me to play.”
“I think I'm versatile in many ways, and I personally think that if any receiver wants to relegate themselves just to the slot, they're limiting themselves,” Baldwin said. “There are many guys who have been able to display an ability to play the slot and play outside, and I think I'm one of those guys.”

He and Bennett are priority #1, you don't want to recreate last off season with two of your best players unhappy and chirping to the media all through training camp bleeding into the season.
Now if they don't accept the bumps in salary, or the negotiations get contentious? THEN you tell them we're moving on and focusing on the rest of the team's needs.
