Bears sign DT Larry Ogunjobi (3 years, $40.5 million; $26.35 million guaranteed): MILLEN Grade
Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first Millen grade of the offseason! Millens are "F" grades, except they are worse, somehow.

I don't understand this signing. Larry Ogunjobi is not a great player. He recorded seven sacks in 2021, but that was fluky; he notched 2.5 sacks in the prior season. Ogunjobi also tends to get trampled while trying to defend the run. If you were to ask me, "How much money will Ogunjobi get on a 3-year deal?" I would have answered with anywhere between $12 million and $15 million. I don't understand how the Bears determined that Ogunjobi is worth $40.5 million.
We’re switching to cover 2. You forget already with lovie how this is going to play out?

I like ogunjobi a lot as a fit and a player. I would have expected him to get more $8-10 mill/yr but what do I know. Also I'm assuming that Matt Millen grading which is meaningless

I mean, that's from Walterfootball. He has no more concept of free agent value than a random toddler chewing on rocks.

Only 26.5 mil guaranteed though?
I don't represent myself as a cap guru fan or anything but doesn't that mean his deal is closer to 9 million per year with incentives and escalators? If the third year is where the money is,the contract would make much more sense, no?

This definitely has high potential to be a gross overpay, but let's maybe watch the guy play a season in Chicago before freaking out

That's exactly my point. Every time we switch scheme these coaches need two years to "get the guys they need to ,fit their scheme." It happens every single time.
How is it taking two years if they have already signed a guy?
