This is getting ridiculous.  Second contract starters are getting 25% of the team's cap.  They are actually hurting their teams to get rich--

It HAS been ridiculous!

I remember before the CAP started going up, how the masses were so happy that there would be more money to spend on players. 

The reality is the players just get paid more. The gap between the elite players and non elite just becomes greater.

It's been going that way for years man might as well get used to it. That's why it's so important to capitalize on your franchise QB rookie deals while you can. I love defense as much as the rest of ya'll but I hope we spend and keep spending big surrounding Young with legit offensive weapons and protection. I want that in this years draft.

So he just signed the highest paying contract in nfl history and all these people on here were talking poo because him and his mom were negotiating the deal. Just laugh out loud.

Little early to laugh just yet...

How many times have we seen news about Player X becoming the highest paid at their position ever followed up by career downturns or devastating injuries?

That's a situation where Jackson might not regret it, but the Ravens could.

Those same people calling him and his entire family dumb are nowhere to be found in this thread.

 

Funny how they hide when he gets a deal done...

Not hiding but I don't live on the Huddle either. He got his deal done. Good for him. He was also reprimanded by the NFLPA for using a non approved agent in his negotiations and teams were told not to converse with a non approved agent. 

He got his deal, and it wasn't a fully guaranteed deal like he had been asking for according to DeMaurice Smith, head of the NFLPA. 

And no matter how much you want to taut that he got his deal done, the simple fact is he missed out on probably 70-80m in the past 2 years by not having an agent. And we also don't know the fine details of that contract so it may not be as good as the numbers suggest. 

I'm still happy that we didn't give up 3 1sts plus and that size contract for him. Doesn't change anything for me.

That’s not the point. People were acting like he was going to lose money without an agent. Making fun of him and his mom negotiating the contract. Calling him stupid and other names. He just signed the highest paying contract ever so maybe those people are the stupid ones.

He played the last 2 years if his contract on his rookie deal. Mahomes signed an extension 3 years into his rookie deal. Think an agent wouldn't have been pushing to have his MVP QB to play year 4 on a rookie deal because I sure as hell don't. 

You’re “speculating” he lost 70-80 million to save face.  We have no clue. What we do know is that him and his mom just negotiated the highest paying contract in nfl history.

He didn't lose money, but that's also not like he got a massive increase in overall salary. And of course he didn't get the fully guaranteed deal.

He has a deal though. Next step is to see whether it works out for both he and the Ravens.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
