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.

      The reason Freddie didn't dress

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Yep, you're right. I forgot about that. Fly was banged up, but RBA put him on the ice for a reason, too. Could have put KK out there, but there was a purpose for Deslauriers on the ice.

      So David Moore is making the 53?!?!

      I wasn’t speaking of Metchie in the context that I referenced Renfro  I couldn’t, he hasn’t played a snap for us    My Metchie esteem level is just not real high. As an NFL WR.  I am no expert on WRs it’s just what I think based on how it has gone for him as a pro  If he can’t catch on here with his old buddy then who is left? I am not wishing him any misfortune and hope he does well because that means we stole some talent; basically for free to boot.

      Thornton and Lee III

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      No one said it would be a permanent thing.  The best thing about having more than two good corners is that you can play them in different position which changes how a QB sees the play unfolding.  You put question marks on a QB you had a second or so of decision making and gives our improved (hopefully) DL a chance to sack him.  If Thornton and Lee turn out to be studs you have 4 good CBs that can be used all over the defense.  That's a good thing.  If you are looking at it just based on salary it is kind of weak take.
