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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
