Ehhh, I haven't looked into it fully just yet, don't care to either...but I'm pretty sure that a lot of players were going to get some pay raises when the new TV deals are done...I think that's soon no?

Personally, were I a player, I would take my lumps this season, not stretch it out over 3.

I think the TV deals are up in 2022 and 2023. So that could boost revenue for next season, potentially. 

If I were a player, I'd definitely be in the NFLPA and my agent's ear looking at the next three or so years before I opted to sign any deal. I mean, unless you are already looking at a mega-contract headed your way. Keep in mind, there were some big deals signed during this whole thing, so the elite player market may not be impacted very much. 

Once FA kicks off, it will be interesting to see what the mid-tier player contracts look like.

This article is about a month old but the first part covers the new TV deals.  Except the money part.  The current deals are like 10 years old so expect the new deals to be much bigger.  That is what the NFL is counting on.

I thought the deals were sooner than that?  But like I said, haven't really looked into it for a while.

Either way, I do expect to see more short term deals, but that trend started a few years ago when guys started taking 3 year deals to have a shot at another before their 30th B Day.

It makes me feel semi better that the Broncos have fallen off the face of the earth after 2015 like us...It would have added insult to injury if they were still averaging 10 wins a year...fug Von Miller.

That's the issue with buying a team to go "all in" for the SB. I expect the Bucs to have similar issues, but not as immediately since Brady sold his soul to the devil in 2001 to stop the aging process.

I will be honest,  anyone criticizing Mr Scot does not understand what he does for the Huddle.  Full Stop.  I do not always agree with him, but that is not the issue--he puts it out there and keeps it fresh.

^Much respect to Mr Scot

I mean, that isn't that far out and I imagine the negotiations have begun already. 

I agree on the shorter term contracts being the trend. Honestly, most players never make the end of a 4+ year deal anyway, so why even bother?

Thanks for the kind words. Didn't really intend for this thread to be about me.

FYI: If you subscribe to The Athletic, they have a story chronicling the timeline of events between Deshaun Watson and the Texans. It's amazing.

We may not agree on everything but you getting called out by that dumpster fire of an idiot is laughable.

Pretty sure Albert Breer said they have.

I've seen who you've been arguing with recently 😃

    • It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.  
    • We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
