AJ is a good WR but he doesn't take over games, I do hope we keep him though...just not at 25 mil
That would have been a decent signing...1 yr/5 mil
MariGOATA!
That’s because of the offense/QB not because of AJ.
I feel like mariota is Brian Johnson from the breakfast club.
“hey son! How’d you like to go fishing this weekend.”
“Ya dad, that’d be great…..but I’ve got homework”
“That’s ok son, we can do it on the boat”
“Yay”
Feel like this is going to be a normal for WRs from here on out....
It's like up-pricing on consumer goods -- inflate the ORIGINAL PRICE so damn far that when you say it's 75% off of $4998, it's eye candy and they think "Oh that's a hell of a deal!!"... no, you just spent 1249.50...
not going to be sustainable, these salaries have to break these organizations at some point
you can't keep throwing hundreds of millions at so many players and think the business model can maintain itself
I mean, it appears they're going to die trying lol.
it'll reach a peak, and then the next wave of players that think they are entitled to big paydays won't get them and then there will probably be a lockout
For sure, teams are digging their own graves with these contracts. Hopefully we don’t go down that road!
Hadn’t thought of that. You’re absolutely right though! What are next years top performers gonna say when they don’t get the same type of contracts?
unless we start to draft consistently well in the early rounds our options are going to be:
1) overpay free agents to come here and eventually price ourselves out of the market
2) remain in average purgatory
i don't think it'll be that soon.. maybe like 5 years
you also have to consider all the new stadiums being built and the cost associated with that.. and yet teams are still throwing brink trucks at multiple players
I wonder if they are gambling on caps going ballistic or something? I get blowing out the checking account if you are so close, as we are, but then you hamstring yourself for years.
even if the cap's raised - the money is not infinite. there is only so much revenue brought in, and when you're paying hundreds of millions for a QB, and then you start granting near QB money to position players.. there's no way it can last
or they could become like Cleveland and guarantee EVERYTHING... lol
I honestly would spend that money on the fronts personally. It’s the beef that really wins games. That’s just my opinion, but skill players don’t get a chance if the lines fail. Both sides of the ball.
As long as salary caps and revenues keep going up it is absolutely sustainable. Players get a 50/50 or 49/51 split of the revenue. This is how they determine the salary cap each year.
Along my line of what they are thinking. When we signed Tammy it was a legit high contract, now it’s 15/20 million more $.
