Daniel Jones Agent:  They're paying the worst QB in the NFL, Sam Darnold, 20 million down in Carolina.  You've got to be worth at least twice that playing for the Giants and making the playoffs.

Daniel Jones:  I like the way you're thinking.

I do wonder how much Sam would cost at these rates

For comparison the total value of the 1st overall pick is $40 million over 4 years! With only a 7.5 million cap hit in year 1.

If the Bears are willing to trade that pick and we believe in of these QB’s I don’t see how we can say no to any offer short of them asking for more than 3 1st rounders.

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 😕

dream on, jonesy. not going to get that anywhere. you getting ready to get tagged.

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. 

Seriously.  Having ANY player eat up around 25% of your cap is not a smart way to build a team.  Unless that player is Patrick Mahomes or maybe Joe Burrow or Josh Allen thats a tough pill to swallow

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.

The cap itself goes up each year (Minus the covid year), and with that so do salaries. Don't look at the total number, look at the percentage against the cap. Mahomes is the first QB since the salary cap has been implemented to win while taking up more than something like 13% of the team's cap or so. 

Also, we witnessed first hand a super bowl where a defense dragged the corpse of Peyton Manning to a championship. That was not the same Manning of years past, he was one of the worst QBs in the league that year.

Franchise tag for 23 is 32.4 million and 41.7 in 2024. That's a total of 74.1 divided between 2 years, so that's an average of 37 million over the next 2 years. I think that would become the bare minimum. If they met in the middle of 45 and 37 per year that rounds out to 41 per.

The problem they have is Saquan Barkley is up for a contract too. They can't tag them both and Barkley wants $16 million per. Do you keep your QB or do you keep the RB that your QB is reliant on? I don't see them keeping both without a deal getting done here in the next couple weeks, and it seems like neither is worth keeping for the money they each want.

Honestly, this could get interesting for the Panthers. He was born and raised in Charlotte. If he truly wants out of New York, we would seem a logical landing spot and maybe he'd be willing to sign at a discount to play in his hometown.

I have no idea why people are still attached to this "hometown discount" thing. That is so rarely ever the actual case.

      Coaches can't mentor, they coach, they are two entirely different things, and your coaches can also only do so many things at one time.  When they're running a drill, the vets are pulling the young guys aside after their reps and giving tips while waiting for the drill to reset. You do also realize that for the most part, players are only around the coaches in the film room and on the field, coaches aren't in the locker room other than just before the game and at half.  That's another place someone like Thielen shines, he's always been a pro's pro, he's going to take these young WRs under his wing and team them how you go about being an NFL player. That's not stuff coaches do, you NEED the vets for it and Thielen has embraced the role.  When you have a guy who made his career on doing the little things right, and he is willing to be that vet mentor to a group of young WRs in their 1st or 2nd year that you hope to be your future 1-4, then he's worth every penny we're giving him this year.

      Panthers Wideout Retreat - TMac Vlog

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Why in Minnesota? That's bizarre. Not like we have a vet WR who played his college ball and the majority of his NFL ball in Minnesota that a few room temperature IQ Panthers fans want to poo on who was obviously brought in every bit as much to mentor young WRs as much as he was to play who has still managed to put up decent numbers in awful offenses in the twilight of his career. Anyone who thinks the Panthers haven't gotten everything out of Thielen that they signed up for shouldn't be taken seriously.
