According to Football Scoop TW’s salary is currently TOP 9 and ties. I think TW will make between 1.5 and 1.75 million for his new contract. That would put him at TOP 3 and ties.

Whomever numbered that List is a touch special when it comes to math. If we want him to be in the 10 highest paid DC's according to that list then we need to pay him at least $1.5. Turd said he has coin when needed for coaches so lets get Tony inked. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't making around $1.8 million after this season as other Power5's might come a callin for his services. Throw $3.5 mill at him for 2 years and I bet he would walk out of Rhule's office with a smile on his face.

I misread the title and thought it said “How much should White men make next year?” …

As for Tony, I think he should swap salaries with Satterfield, or $1 over any other offer he gets.

Ya that threw me off a bit. 3 guys tied for first then we have someone in 2nd….

My only concern is Rhule seems kinda tight. Outside of satterfield, who he gave more money than the market was ever going to demand, I don’t see him offering the high end to anyone. If White starts negotiations at 1.8 I could see Rhule telling him good luck thinking he can find someone cheaper to do the job.

I copied the list from the article and then I numbered it myself. Just me but if 4 guys are at 1.9 they are the top paid DC imo if they are all compensated equally. That is why I said it was TOP 9 and “ties”. I kind of looked at it like a leaderboard in ⛳️ 😂.

I guess a better way to put it is to say “Tony White’s compensation is at a range where he is paid comparably to other people making a TOP 10 salary as DC”.

Agree I don’t think TW will get 1.8, but I could see 1.5-1.75; granted 1.75-1.8 is only 500K; but just something about 1.8 screams “best of the rest” to me. Tony White while good, if he was getting 1.8 I would expect to be around TOP 5-15 in most defensive stats.

I don't see it going that way. After the season, I see them setting down and Rhule offering White a revised three contract with a nice pay bump and White signing it. I don't see much negotiating going on, pretty quick discussion between two professionals that like to work with each other, quick and easy and on to recruiting. Same for the other three defensive assistants, a new contract with a pay bump and off to recruit.
 
His wouldn't be guaranteed though since he's an assistant right? So even if we overpay by a little, it's not like we are locked into a 10 year contract or something like that like we would for a head coach.

Assistants are guaranteed contracts usually they just tend to be shorter (think 2-3 year deals).

I could see them giving him a biggish raise with an out for leaving to be a head coach

Assistant coaches are guaranteed contracts for 2 years, 3 for coordinators.

Most of the 1.8 or 2 million talk is crazy. Rhule isn't going to blow his remaining budget on just White. All the defensive assistants will get nice raises and there could be some movement around the TE and QB coach spots. The defense has had a good year, but as someone else has pointed out, our opponent's offenses have been pretty poor. White has had one good year, if it continues than he should get additional raises in the future. I'd expect 1.2 to 1.3 million, that would be a nice raise and put him up with Parker, who has done this for a decade. White has only been a DC for 4 years and that would be a good salary for someone with his current credentials.

what would our defensive stats look like without an offense turning it over in our own territory a few times a game? imo, it's shocking the stats are as good as they are because of that factor alone

I agree, if we could just NOT shoot ourselves in the foot we are looking at an 8-2 record right now. The fumbles have been mind boggling for sure! 🤦‍♂️
