The way I understand how a player receives his salary is X dollars per game.  If we don't have 16 games does that mean the players do not receive their full pay?  My concern is for the new players.

Player compensation basically gets broken up into 3 types: Signing bonuses, which are received when the contract is signed and represent the only guaranteed money, various bonuses triggered by things, some super easy like being on the roster, some not so much like making the pro bowl etc.. The third compensation is annual salary, which is broken down per game. How much of a player's compensation is this third component depends upon their contract and how long they have been in the league. Rookies tend to have pretty standardized contracts for their first few years that weight things towards this third type, so yeah, they got some concerns there.

I have no idea how the exact wording of the CBA might impact this or whether the owners will balk at paying players regardless of CBA if there are no games. We'll just have to see. I will say only that I would not bank on both sides being reasonable and swiftly working things out.

Pretty hard to feel sorry even for the new players and fringe guys. They’re making wayyyyy more than most just to play a game

 

A game they busted their ass for years to have the chance to play professionally. Don't get me wrong, tons of people have it way worse, but there is no cap on sympathy. I can sympathize with both.

Some have busted their ass for years, some haven’t.

Jeremy couldn't have explained it better.  Thanks.  I hope the rookies get paid.

That's been a debate for a long time.  You play and get big money but if you don't invest and spend wisely.......you're out of luck.  I do agree the money is skewed.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
