Jeff Fisher's Negotiations Could Be About Money And A Title

Jason La Canfora of NFL Network cites league sources who say one of the issues holding up a deal between Fisher and the Rams is compensation. Fisher is seeking to be among the higher-paid coaches in the league, in the range of $7 million per season, the sources told La Canfora. Rams owner Stan Kroenke has not displayed a willingness to reach that stratosphere to this point, the sources said. Also La Canfora said Fisher is likely to command a title of executive vice president wherever he lands. In Miami, that title would trump that of general manager Jeff Ireland, which would shift the organization's current structure. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is believed to be willing to spend to a higher threshold in order to land Fisher, sources said.

NFL Network reported that Miami is willing to give him the title of executive vice president.............

His contract could be upwards to $8M a season.

 

Rumors in Indy are that he's holding out to see what happens with Jim Caldwell.

 

I know the Rams-to-L.A. has made him uneasy and Jay Glazer said Fisher is literally torn between St. Louis and Miami.

If Caldwell is fired by the end of the week, I could see Fisher in the mix.

 

I said Fisher to the Colts a couple weeks ago. I think that would be a great spot for him to land and be successful...
