Actually if you look.  I’m not sure it will effect this.

DJs rookie deal won’t end until after 2022 and new deal wouldn’t kick in until 2023.

Robby’s deal ends after 2023.  So only 1 year you’d have to puzzle the cap

Ya but extending him now before he’s the most loaded WR in football is out the window.

Can we please get a roll call of all the dopes spreading the "Robby doesn't want to be here" conspiracy theories?

You know who you are.

the "conspiracy theory", or at least one I was aware of,  was Robby didn't want to play football this season without a new deal.   Here is the deal.

Still too high. He’s a 6-8 million WR. Let him go test the market. He’ll be back.

I thought he was at $10M this year, not $8M? Very happy we're putting some of the extension on this year's cap. Great contract.

You can still extend him now.  His new deal just wouldn’t start until 2023.

this is what happened with CMC

Robby led the team in receptions last year. Big part of our offense. Didn't overpay. Didn't take away from other players money (future money). I like it.

Nice. This ensures having a great starting trio for the next 3 years. I don't think it is any accident that this length of contract coincides with DJ needing a new deal and Terrace developing. I like it.

Exactly. We're slightly overpaying, but it fits into the long term plan IMO.

Also probably some incentives baked in there, the initial number reported is always higher than the real number. Wouldn't be surprised if his cap hits are closer to $12-13M/year (on average, I'm sure the structure will be different).

It's why I always disagree with everyone that says the Matt KAlil Deal was the worst deal in our team's history. They always claim it was 50 million, but it was only 25 guaranteed. It wasn't a good deal by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't as crippling as everyone painted it to be.

The Teddy deal on the other hand, absolute garbage.

[Little Goody Two Shoes]

My guess is they upped the $ a bit because it's shorter terms. Hopefully we lock up DJ and one of or both Marshall and Smith develop and we don't need Robby in 2 to 3 years. I'm okay with it for 2 years.

Extending means the new deal incorporates boosts into the existing deal. It happened to CMC much more akin to Robby. But if Robby gets X, DJ who is an elite talent is going to want XXX. That’s the issue.

15M a year for Robby? This is absolute trash. He’s worth 6-8M a year at the best. Welcome Hurney 2.0. Ffs.

I agree with both. This is why he stayed away and was not showing up so much. Cried about wanting more money, sucks.
