Who is going to get paid more?

Since this thread basically went down the gutter, I'll save it by making a better question out of the thread title...

 

Who is going to get paid more? Wilson or Luck?

​Andrew Luck is getting more.  I actually don't think it'll be close.  Luck straight up carries an otherwise pretty mediocre team to the playoffs every year (albeit in a WEAK ass division).  Wilson plays on one of the most talented rosters in the NFL with an amazing defense.  A defense that carried them to the Superbowl in 2013 and got them close to another one in 2014.  Wilson will play hardball and say "OMG I have a Superbowl ring I should be paid more than any other QB getting an extension right now" but his numbers are closer to Cam's so I expect him to get a contract comparable to Newton's, whereas Luck will probably be the highest paid QB in the NFL.

I imagine Luke will be paid close to what JJ Watt makes.  There's no QUESTION he will be the top paid MLB in the game, maybe the top paid defensive player.

​No sir.

MLB's just aren't as valuable.

He will be the top MLB, but probably not the top LB, at least not for long, 34 OLB's get PAID.

Luke is humble enough that he won't ask to be the highiest paid mlb in the game, even though he deserves to be. Won't be more than cam's contract.

​You are correct, he won't ask, his agent will.

If you are an agent, and you have the best player at his position as one of your clients, you better get him paid the highest at his position.  Either that, or you won't have a ton of clients going forward.

​If Luke gets paid what JJ Watt got paid my "Gettleman for President" campaign will come to a sudden stop.  LB's that don't get sacks don't make anywhere near that much money.  Willis was then highest paid non-pass rushing LB before he retired at just over 10 million a year.  Luke might get to 12 million, at the most.  Anything over that he should kiss is agents ass and help adjust Dave's shorts before every practice.  He will probably get somewhere in the 11 million range but that's just a guess.

​Correct. But also it is not entirely impossible for a player to tell their agent. "Hey, i really like it here and i don't need to be the highest paid at my position".

​For a player on their 3rd contract, with a top tier team, (Tom Brady) I can see that.  But not your first big one.

I really don't strike Luke as the Money Hungry Type, Meaning he wont leave us because someone pays him more. I do however, think he should be getting decently paid. I should have remembered that QBs are the Highest Paid Position, I wasn't thinking at that point.

 

However,  #59 should be getting a pretty penny. Hopefully, he doesn't go for the money.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
