Let me just say that I’m for going after Watson, or using picks to move up in the draft. I’ll be content no matter what with either scenario. If we move up in the draft, however, no players need to be dealt, and I’m cool with this years 1st, next years 1st, and a combo of mid rd draft picks not including our 2nd this year.

You can do it as long as you have them--let's say via trade (which is why Miami and the Jets could do it because they each have 2 first round picks this year)--but you can't go more than three years into the future. 

 

Yeah that’s it. Can’t completely ruin a franchise for a decade. Nothing more than three years out. Thanks for the clarity!

his new deal only had 110 guaranteed I think and already has a chunk.  That much money isn't actually out there I don't think.   I would need to look it all up. 

Andrew Luck walked away from like 60 mill in cash sitting out there. 

 

Oh only $110,000,000 huh...gotcha.

Luck had already banked $110,000,000 when he retired...LOL.

If you're correct and Watson does walk away from the game and retire, will be interesting to watch --- what kind of odds are you placing on that exact scenario playing out?

He sat out one season. What are you talking about? If you think this is an apples to apples comparison, you are the only one.

False.

He held out the entire preseason of 2017 and ownership didn't blink.  Ultimately he signed the tender/tag in time to play the first game of the season and due to lack of preparation stunk up the joint from game-1 onward in that season.

Then he threatened to retire if tagged again the next season...

...and guess what, the Steelers never "caved" and tagged him again.

Then the dummy sat out the entire 2018 season and cost himself many many millions which he was never able to recoup...

...Deshaun is smarter than that.

False? He sat out 2018. Don't make poo up!

Oh, now we're talking about NFL standards and not in reference to most people on the earth?

Bringing up Stafford's earnings in comparison to Watson's bespeaks of disingenuousness.

...Watson will eclipse Stafford's earnings after all is said and done.

Exactly, that's what I said from the get-go, went right over your head.

Complete horse-hockey, both are NFL QB's and it's a perfect comparison.

If Watson does bank more than $269,478,969 in career NFL salary/earnings it will be because he showed up and played out his current contract --- if he sits out a season he has no chance.

According to what I've reaf, Stafford had made 226 mil, but anyway...

You just want to keep him in his place. Not going to happen!

Yes $226M so far but his new contract with the Rams is worth $43M which takes him to $269M.

What "happens" is TBD...

...completely in DW's control -- I suspect he will put his hurt feelings aside and show up to collect his massive paycheck per the terms of the contract he is obligated to!

...but rather, Bell "folded" and showed up to play in 2017.

In 2018 he was dumb enough to sit the entire year.

 

Preseason and 2017 doesn't refute what I said. Stop making poo up! You're simply wrong. That's the bottom line. Get your facts straight before offering them.

110% refutes it!

Bell made demands in 2017 and sat out in order to get them -- Steelers ownership did not "fold".

Again in 2018 Bell made demands and sat out in order to get them -- again Steelers ownership did not "fold".

You said ownership "all fold in these situations" and "they ALWAYS end up somewhere else after a season at most"...

...completely false.

You're full of it, but you know that already. Preseason can't be equated to a regular season. Just stop!

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
