"Newton's 2016 cap value ranks 10th among quarterbacks at $19.5 million.

He ranks behind New Orleans' Drew Brees ($30 million), Manning ($24.2 million), Roethlisberger ($23.95 million), Atlanta's Matt Ryan ($23.75 million), Flacco ($22.55 million), Detroit's Matthew Stafford ($22.5 million), Rivers ($21 million), Dallas' Tony Romo ($20,835,000) and Washington's Kirk Cousins($19,953,000)."

Damn, I love G-man. MVP less of a hit that Stafford, Romo, Ryan, Manning (the sucky one), and Kirk frikin Cousins.  Ha!

Extending Cam last year and adding a $7.5 million roster bonus to the last year of his rookie deal (2015) helped a lot. The next five years he will make $19.5 million, $21.167 m, $21.5 m, $23.2 m, and $21.1 million. Even Cam's most expensive year of $23.2 million is still below Breesus, Eli, Rapelisberger, and Matty Icemelt's earnings this year

I also credit Rivera and staff for creating an atmosphere these guys take pride in and want to be a part of. The things you have seen take place with our FAs and the words you hear from Jarred Allen are a direct result of this. The next time you hear someone trumpeting some jackass  to join the team realize what an important role team class and chemistry plays.

How incredible to be a fan of a team where I love and root for the GM just about as hard as I root for the biggest stars among the players!

DG is a rockstar.

Gettlemans a blessing for this team hes hands down the best gm in the nfl and turned us around big time.  Cant wait to see who we pick for the draft

He was in the first year of his deal. Most of those players are not. 

You do realise that newer contracts usually mean more money thanks to inflation and an ever rising Cap. He signed a deal comparable to Matt Ryans, and that contract was written 2 years prior. After Cams MVP season its a flippen bargain. Cant wait to see what Luck signs for. Irsey was already prepping the fan base for some biggest mega contract ever, like thats something to be proud over.

I havent seen Luck's name uttered since like... week 8 of the regular season.

re: an actual good article from david newton, he's a good writer. just don't expect him to know what he's talking about when it comes to things happening on the field. he only knows what those people actually watching and who know what they are talking about who aren't tired of answering "what just happened?" tell him.

about this article....yeah, makes me all kind of happy. hurney magic would have had him the top paid every year and/or backloaded to the point of crippling the team. this isn't a trash hurney comment, just a happy comment that we don't have a guy that feels it necessary to overpay and doesn't have us in the situation that the saints are in. i love being on the outside looking in at that contractual dumpster fire.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
