Jones is a tag possibility.

Funny to remember that this time last year Jones looked like a middling quarterback at best. Daboll really helped him resurrect his career.

And for that, he gets this 😕

Jones played well last year, but $45mil/year? That’s crazy…. It’s crazy that Murray, Wilson, and Prescott get paid that much too, so I’m sure he’ll get it.

Looks like a good candidate for the tag. He's not worth it. One good season doesn't make him a 45 mil per qb.

His stats weren’t that impressive and he was really helped by Barkley staying healthy. 
That playoff game was impressive but the game after it was not. 
45 million for a QB that threw 15 TDs in 2022 and was very meh the years prior. 
If Barkley gets injured again, and he will, Jones can’t carry the team. 
This is really stupid in Jones’ part. He should take whatever the Giants give him and be happy. 
45 million is money for a QB that doesn't need a healthy RB to win.

If I was the Giants I would be laughing at him when he said that is what he wanted. His supposed “best” season wasn’t all that great anyway. 
15 TD last season, 15. Also Barkley being healthy definitely helped mask Jones’ problems and Jones’ can’t win without Barkley.

It has been less than 30 years (1994) since the NFL salary cap was instituted.  That year's cap?  34.6 million.  Another year or so and NFL teams won't be able to secure the services of a middle of the pack QB for that amount.  Our society's priorities/values are way out of whack.

In fairness, prior to last season you would have a hard time finding many that didn't consider Wilson a top QB. That's a hindsight mistake.

It was a mistake in foresight to have paid Murray and Dak that money.

In today's money that would be about $70 mil.

But also consider the exponential rate of NFL TV revenue, which has gone up 623% from 1990 to 2020.

So, in reality the cap just matches the insane money they make. Goodell set a goal to have league revenue at $27 billion by 2027.

The ludicrous dollars being paid to QB's these days is 100% the fault of the competition committee.  Their insistence on continually changing the rules to favor higher and higher scoring games brought this on.  Gone are the days when you could build a great defense and have an offense simply take the chances presented by that defense.  We'll never see SB's where guys like Brad Johnson, Joe Flacco, Trent Dilfer, Jim McMahon, etc lead their teams to a title.

In order to lower the QB salary range, you've got to make defense a real possibility for building a championship team.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
