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

It’s more likely a player would ask for more money to stay in a location they do not prefer. That may be what’s happening and would have the same effect.

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.

Unfortunately, too many RBs are producing from late rounds to pay $16m per year.

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.

This is really accurate if you think about it, he led the biggest market NY to a very impressive year he earned it to me. In the nfl get paid immediately as much as possible you could die out there.

I dont understand why people are so shocked by these numbers. It's 'next man up' when it comes to QB contracts. 

If you are a top 15 to 20 starter in this league that you will almost always get a MASSIVE contract. 

This not new but people react like this every offseason. 

Which is why teams are going with the strategy of trying to load up while they've got a quarterback on a rookie contract (like our own GM has said is the best way to go these days).

Yes, some quarterbacks are going to get overpaid. That doesn't mean every team wants to be the one paying them.

It certainly is understandable from a player's prospective and with the salary cap is going up again, why not ask? 

From the Giants prospective, I'd want to see Jones replicate his recent level of performance for at least another season prior to signing him to a long term deal.

We're fans.  We want to think that players love us and our city as much as we think we love them.  When they won't sign for a hometown discount, they're dirty money chasing whores.  /s

This is why im very curious about what happens in Baltimore with Lamar. This is one of the smartest FO's in the NFL. So Im curious to see what they do. 

I think there is a blue print to draft mobile QB's run them into the dirt and rinse and repeat without having to pick up a 2nd contract. 

If they can get 2 1st rounders for Lamar then draft a player like Richardson....

I suspect Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers have entered the QB conversation in the Giants HQ as well. 

"If we're going to have to pay Jones 45 million per season, we might as well see what else is out there before committing to him."

Tire kicking free agents.  It’s a thing…

Apparently they're gonna try and keep him.

Among the consequences...

If he gets 45 mil per season, the Giants will be the only one to pay it. They could try the nonexclusive tag. 

As for Carr, I don't know; Jones is young and has already done something Carr never has: win a playoff game. Carr is also 1-9 in games where it's 45 degrees or lower at kickoff. 

I don't think that the Packers will trade A-Rod to an NFC team, or at least that's a prevailing notion.

45 million for Jones is unbelievable, but it could simply be a negotiating tactic.  If I were the Giants I'd try the nonexclusive tag and hope some team makes a deal with Jones, so the Giants end up with two first round picks.  Realistically, I think the Giants tag Jones and end up keeping him when he fails to attract any acceptable offers from other teams.

They're kind of stuck though, the Giants don't really have a better alternative. Yeah, I guess they could do Tyrod Taylor for a year or two, but he's not really that exciting of an option. They may end up being in QB purgatory (if they really believe that Jones could be the guy)l.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress.
