In July of 2006, Marcedes signed a five-year, $7.5 million contract that included $4.8 million guaranteed. Here's the lot of it:
2009 - $830,000
2010 - $1.0775 million
2011 - Free Agent
Our best guess is that Mama and Papa Lewis decided not to find out the sex of their child until birth and were convinced it would be a girl. From that conclusion, we can also assume that the only name they had come up with for that girl was Mercedes. Of course, when out popped a bouncing baby boy, they shrugged, looked at each other once, and said at the same time, "Marcedes?" Then with a smile, they hugged their massive newborn, slept for a few hours, then proceeded to go home and work on their next child, Laxus.
Besides the impressive creativity of his name, there's not much to say about this kid. He's a moose, to be sure, standing 6'6" and weighing 275 lbs, which makes him quite a cog along an offensive line that was built to run the ball. As far as his offensive game goes, it's pretty bland in that he lacks the speed, hands, and route-running capabilities to be an effective receiver.
His numbers have improved in each his first three seasons in the league, which at least shows he's learning and getting better as his career moves along. We can't quite put him in the ranks of being a viable backup fantasy TE, but he's close, and depending on how the Jags offense runs this year, he might sneak in as a tail-end backup for you. For now, leave him on the waiver wire and watch his progress.
The Big Car has only missed one game in his career and it was in his rookie season.
