Aaron Rodgers is the next big QB up. Expect those numbers to be ungodly.

I'm not a fan of the "pay one or two superstars and skimp everywhere else" approach to team building, but it's certainly popular.

He'll get guaranteed 75 million a year for five years. Watch. Packers don't spend money on anyone else and it's why he'll never win another SB.

Smart teams looked at the Seahawks, and mimicked.

Eagles are doing that now.

Get a decent rookie QB, surround him with as much talent as possible, and open a window for 3-4 years.

However, to be really successful at that, you cannot have bad contracts before said rookie QB is in place.

As we've discussed, in a climate of ridiculous contracts, drafting well is more important than ever.

Wonder which team is going to do the"trade the franchise QB before the huge contract" move?

 

Seahawks could trade Russell before he breaks the bank on his 3rd deal.  Candidates would have been Lions (before the extension), Packers, Panthers, Eagles (in a few years), etc....

If these contracts are "ridiculous," then so is the money that the NFL makes in general.  I certainly think that ticket prices, parking prices,  concession prices,  and even gear and paraphernalia prices have gotten to be "ridiculous," so the players that make the league go 'round may as well get paid "ridiculous" money.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
