I just need to clarify my upvote was to add to the condolences. Sometimes we forget these are young men as well as competitors.
Tua had to go first; the 'Fins smartly didn't pay him more than Trevor (even though he actually might be better than Trevor). Jordan Love is next and he may temporarily be the highest paid ever. Then Dak will end up on top. All of this before the season. Cowboys will also take care of Lamb; Micah will have to wait. Aiyuk and the 49ers will reach an agreement soon. Brandon is being chummy with John Lynch this week.
The QB money is getting out of hand IMO, yes, they should get paid but at some point where does it stop and how much are you willing to spend VS the % of the overall payroll. By the time CJ is due he could be looking at $60 million per year. Tua`s contract is the market, no way is he worth that but what else can they do? He is barely an above average QB but the market says $50 million + for that. I am not sure what the answer is, some type of QB cap, a % of overall payroll cap, I am not sure of the answer but they need to look into this.
So the NFL loses the USFL court case for up to 2 Billion, but only pays out 3$, And the NFL loses the Sunday Tickets Court case for 14 billion, but it's been overturned for $0. Suspicious doesn't even begin to describe it.
It is so weak Bryce Young is sitting out tonight for the Panthers. Has he earned the game off? I mean, CJ is playing two series tomorrow and Mahomes is supposed to play the entire 1st quarter Saturday. If any starting QB needs game reps to prep for the season, it's Bryce.
This is the NFL Offseason Thread and I made a comment about a game tonight. If you don't care, don't respond.
It'd be funny if the Chiefs end up cutting Rees-Zammit given all the hype and media exposure he's gotten.
