OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XII - Heeeeeeressss JJ! (Percy Harvin Edition)

[Dr Jan Itor]

Does it though?
JJ: I want to break the bank

The current highest WR AAV is $30M. I have doubts that he's going to need a 25% bump on 2nd place.

Maybe he just wants $90-$100M guaranteed, $150M total (over 5 years), or something.

 

[Minnewildsota]

I saw this mess coming the moment he got his grillz

Well ne heeds the bills to pay for grillz

I think I would do two 1st and Higgins for JJ...

Package those picks in a trade with Chicago. Draft Caleb.

Higgens, Addison, Hockenson, and Jones is still a nice group of weapons to have.

Not sure I'd draft Caleb Williams. I'd probably go Maye or Daniels (wouldn't need to trade up as high)

I’m not sure I would further load Chicago with draft capital either.

 

[57special]

I do.

You just calm down and contemplate the Jones contract for a bit...

Not that I think they actually do anything with it…

This team still has so many holes on the defensive and offensive line...Hunter is gone, Wonnum is gone...

 

[Digitalbooya]

No need to. We got a replacement and picked up one of the best safeties in the league. RB2 will come in the draft.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Yeah. That’s why they’re retooling.
I figured that was pretty obvious but I guess not.

Hunter isn't getting any younger, and in his prime, was as injury prone as they come. I wouldn't expect he'd be healthier in his 30's

 

[StreetHawk]

Not enough info. Could just be a guaranteed money difference of opinion.

He’s an elite player and those guys get at least 3 years average value of the contract in guaranteed money. Year 3 doesn’t need to vest until the start of the year 2 year in March which basically forces it to be guaranteed otherwise you are paying for 2 years but getting just 1 from the player.

 

[TaLoN]

Glad he's back

 

[TaLoN]

2 years $49m for Hunter to the Texans. Glad it's not us.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

$5.5M more per year than the guy we took from Houston. Hope he's good.

The guy we got from them is younger and had only 3 fewer sacks.

He also did it once and got 4 years not 2.

 

[Minnewildsota]

He did rate higher (marginally, but still higher), according to PFF:

Hunter:

Greenard:

Interesting, with his stats being lower across the board.

[Minnewildsota]

A little article reviewing “all” the players KAM had traded away or let walk. Doesn’t include this years FAs for obvious reasons.

Overall, most players regressed. A very select few had minor improvements, though there were some cadveats to that; more playing time, not injured, etc.

What's the usual punishment for tampering?
