OT: Football Thread

Personally, I'd rather not have either.

i think you'll be pleased then because we're not getting Rodgers lol

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Jones wants 48 mil supposedly, I think the Giants would happily give him 40 and tag Barkley but Jones is saying no to that, which is why they'll probably end up tagging Jones and having to let Barkley go.

Jones is on meth.

Hallelujah!!!!!

Do you guys believe everything media click hungry idiots say? It is a negotiation. DJ is not really looking for $48 or anything close to it. This is all about who will give in more. They are probably chipping away from $36-$41.

He might get a 40+ contact but the guarantees will probably be structured that he'll have to play into it to earn it.

In todays NFL that is fine. WR are getting 25-30 mill. All that really matters is the guaranteed money. The rest is mostly salary cap fluff.

that's absurd.

Love it. Good for DJ. Took that bullet from the team last year when Schoen didn’t pick up the option, and DJ earned this deal.

Tagging Barkley might bring him down to the Giants’ number on an extension. I’m going to guess Barkley really doesn’t want to play on a tag, but his reputation takes a pretty big hit if he holds out (even though most would understand).

Bonkers. He's gonna run into a concussion or ACL tear and it's over.

 

[NickyFotiu]

that's absurd.

It is actually a very fair deal for the team. DJ only got $82 in guaranteed money. Carr got $100. The average number and nonguaranteed money is almost meaningless.

 

[NickyFotiu]

DJ's year 1 cap hit will probably be around $18 mill.
All the greed talk was pure BS. He got $82 in guaranteed money. That is very fair for the team. Lamar allegedly wants over $200.

 

[LionsHeart]

NFL contracts and structures are weird. I don’t mind the deal, plus they got to franchise tag Saquan. You have to think they’ll be active in the LB market too. I’m interested to see what they do at Receiver, because although there aren’t a ton of options, even mediocrity would be an improvement on what we had.

The Jackson situation is interesting. There’s a reason the Ravens don’t want to commit long term.

 

[I Eat Crow]

that's absurd.

That can't be all guaranteed, right?

....right?

 

[Ruggs225]

I do not want Rodgers. Especially if we have to trade first round pick

 

[NickyFotiu]

That can't be all guaranteed, right?

....right?

Little more than half guaranteed. Very fair deal.

Are you related to him?

Are you related to Joy Behar?

Deleted an earlier comment of mine. Waiting to see the full deal. If it's just guaranteed money over 2 years, then if he regresses in 2023, you can draft your eventual successor next draft.
