18 million guaranteed is probably less than Foster would settle for, but I think it might be closer to what the Texans have in mind for him while Arian probably has
Chris Johnson money ( 30 million guaranteed) in mind, which is too much IMO.

Considering Lynch just signed this deal, Arian is about the least greedy guy in the NFL to take $43.5M over 5 years, $20.75M guaranteed. I know it's all relative and he is now a rich man, but it is still a great deal for us. Perfectly timed too. 5 year deal for a 26 year old back. He either plays out the contract or is gone in year 5, but barring injury we paid for the prime of a guy with low miles. That is about as good as it gets for big RB contracts.
