Sucks it happened to him, but after the Watson and Wilson contracts I'm guessing there's a bit of owner collusion to get these guaranteed contracts back down to the mid $100m's

I think we all know it was collusion. Nobody is getting the Watson deal anytime soon. These owners talk behind the scenes this was them coming together and saying "F that".

 

Im guessing Lamar will probably get the Kyler Murray deal with 189 mil guaranteed or a little more.

So, what if those contracts were just outliers?  One or two owners do something extreme/dumb does not mean the rest of the owners have to do the same thing.

As for Lamar, he is not a victim here of some grand conspiracy.  As I mentioned in earlier...a QB in his same draft class...who has an agent (Josh Allen) to date has made over $80 mil...Lamar, who has no agent, has made a bit over $30 mill to date.

Some people just make better business decisions than others.

We've got quite a lot invested in the secondary already not sure how much more we can risk. 1st round top ten pick another on a significant contract coming off an achilles tear another we traded a 3rd for. Not much wiggle room.

Did yall know that Okudah was benched later in the season? He has not lived up to expectations so the Lions gave him up for pennies on the dollar. Like CJ Henderson, there's a reason that the team that drafted him so high was ready to cut him loose.

Okudah was horrible. Falcons fans celebrating this move is comical.

idk....it seemed like the light bulb finally turned on after the midway mark last year. Drafted at 21 by a different regime, lost a year to injury as well. 

Not saying he's the second coming of Revis, but for a fifth...yeah, I'm seeing what he's got as a CB2. Horn on one side and Evero and DeAngelo working with him at 24 years old.

      Trade deadline thread

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
