Imagine the chaos of us trying to extend Cam. Phew.

Psst, Cam won't be re-signing here.  Keep that to yourself.

I couldn't even imagine him anywhere else.

You can't handle the truth?   Look me up when his contract runs out.

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.

Cams contract is the steal of the century, I’m surprised he hasn’t ask for an extension.

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.

Cousins is reportedly getting 86 for 3.

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....

How does this guy keep robbing teams

Well over 100 million in career earnings.

Of course that's skewed a bit by the fact that he was drafted right before the rookie wage scale was implemented.

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.
