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.

      Dates for Training camp are released

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
