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.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
