lol, does CatScratchReader shorten to derp? 

I think that is just a link shortener that the website uses?

Luke isn't getting anywhere near $72m. A 5yr $50-$55m extension will be his ballpark.

You really don't think he'll make 12/yr? I think that seems completely reasonable for him.

I mean all we're disagreeing on is $1 million. I said 6 year/$72M ($12M/year) and you're saying 5 year/$55M ($11M/year). $10M is too low. Look at the link I posted, Lawrence Timmons is making $9.5M/year. Luke has won DROY and DPOY and has led the league in tackles the past 2 seasons. Additionally, with the salary cap set to explode over the next few years, contracts are rising among all positions.

The reason I think it's going to be a 6 year deal instead of 5 is because Luke is only 24.

Yes!! Sign LUKE now then work on Star, Kk and Norman so all our stars can be locked in for at least the next five years" So everyone can be on the same page for the future and happy too know we cherish them and there willingness to become close and better.. So the next draft want scare us too go after a top DT,DE or OT cause even if they are better then our starters we can pay them and be loaded!!!! Just imagine drafting 2 DT maybe next year that's better then Star and Kk but we have the money to sign then when it's time too and still have Star and Kk under contract for years to go.. That would be a ridiculous rotation up the middle none-stop all game" who could run against that!!!! Our linebacker ' are set for years already....

Luke is the best MLB in the league and deserves a contract that sets the market for all inside linebackers.

Prediction: 6 year/$72M contract, a 25% increase over the currently top paid inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons (averaging $9.5M/year)

 

I'm fine with Keuchly getting 12M a year over 6 years, especially when you consider how the salary cap is rising every year.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
