Rashan Gary’s Contract
Rashan has endured a whole lot of unnecessary b.s. through the past year or so. I think it’s fair to say he can give a big eff you to all the haters (Including Chris Frey). I am totally overjoyed for him AND his mom. Here is his contract summary:

And yet you could just not comment - see a thread about Gary which is largely positive and think "hey that's not my thoughts" and move on, rather than take the opportunity in a thread celebrating the success of a Michigan athlete to bag on him yet again.
He got paid. That's all that matters
Very true. Kid making that money.
Good work if you can get it!
I am extremely interested to see how he fits in Pettine's defense.
Happy for him. He earned every penny and endured a lot of criticism. Some of it was fair, but a lot of it wasn’t.
Go get yourself the best financial advisor you can find, Rashan. Get that money invested and set you and your family up for life.
I can't recall one big play sack he got.?
One, then you didn't watch Michigan.
Two, fuck off.
Congratulations to Rashan. Go Blue!
Now that's how you hit the bag. . .
Certainly made the right decision leaving college this year.
As for Chris "Targeting" Frey, he was pretty badass until he met up with one Devin Bush...
Sadly, I agree with this. Always got the impression he was a mammas boy.
I don't understand this logic.
Of course he was going to be a first round pick and make a bunch of money. This contract doesn't change the fact that he was not that great here, which was the biggest concern for him going into the draft. Every draft analyst spoke about how his lack of production was a concern.
The criticisms of him are more than fair, and if that's too much for him, then he won't last in the damn NFL.
If everybody is talking about how he had a lack of production, that's because it's true. It's not some false narrative. I do not understand the people that can't accept this.
You're allowed to be a huge Rashan Gary fan, root for him to kill it in the NFL, be happy he is super rich now, AND point out his college production left something to be desired.
I hate how everything is either/or now. They aren't mutually exclusive
Why are you “overjoyed for him AND his mom”? Do you know them?
The extreme criticisms here speak to a surprising lack of empathy for a contributing player - let’s just move on. I look forward to watching an NFL game and hearing “Rashan Gary - University of Michigan” during the introduction.
NFL teams average around 1000 plays per season. That means Rashan is making $4000 per defensive play, whether he's on or off the field.
And people are wondering why he couldn't risk that to play in a bowl game when he wasn't 100%?
Ya'll need to reevaluate your priorities.
Or better yet, you can have the fake ass "honor" or "loyalty"...take half your salary and let's see how you feel about it.
I don't care who you are...4 million a year or $40K a year...half that salary is a big fucking deal, that's a blow, no question.
Jake Butt should literally be collecting twice his paycheck. Maybe more. Nah fam, that ain't it. If I came from inner-city NJ, worked my entire life to get to the NFL (not to Michigan, but to the NFL)...I've gotta sit this one out if I'm not 100% and we're not playing for a championship. Hate all you want, I can pay someone to make you feel better.
So many rival trolls on this thread...
Sparty troll
frey is also likely on a cfl minimum deal of around 54k ... Canadian. I'm a mid level software developer and I make more than double what you make, Maybe shut the fuck up
Wow, Rashan, that's a sweet contract and a lot of money. Congrats Rashan and family !!
Extremely happy for him. All our wolverines went to organizations I very much respect. Great outcome imo
Rashan Gary got paid and half ya'll are maaaaaaaaad. LOL
AND he owns his own agency. That 10% he saved is WAY more than a full salary and benefits for most of the haters! (and most of the defenders, like myself) #TheMichiganDifference
Here's a video actually showing Rashan Gary getting doubled, and some would even say tripled, including the maker of the video. I don't think it was intended to be a triple though. It looked like the 3rd blocker was trying to look around the corner for whoever showed up, and Rashan Gary stuck out his arm to stop him from turning the corner.
It would be interesting if someone had the time to make a video of all the games where Gary and Winovich both played to find out which got doubled more. I would bet it was Chase Winovich.
Maybe this link will work:

That's not even a true triple team. The play has 3 OL pulling to the strong side. Gary did his job which set the edge and prevent the OL from getting out to the perimeter to block additional defensive player. Gary pushed upfield which forced the pulling to block him.
That's a nice takedown by the OL and shoudn't be any penalties as a result. Let's just stop with the triple team because it's a myth perpetuated by Michigan fans. Rashan is often single blocked but sometimes get double teamed. He's great against the run but the criticism is his lack of pass rush. He often has no plan when it comes to it. If he gets stonewalled with his first move, he often get stuck in a block.

Screw the haters
He played out of position at UofM.
Impossible he had the greatest defensive coaching mindtrust ever assembled
You know more than Don Brown and Greg Mattison.
Where was he supposed to play?
Wrong place for my response. Love the re-design.
This is the technically worst, and most poorly run, web site I have ever seen.
