You're David Tepper, how do you structure a deal/offer to get Ben Johnson's attention?

Ben Johnson will have WAY better options this off-season:

Bears with 2 first round picks in the top 5, DJ Moore, familiar with the division, cap space, tradeable assets in Fields, an improving defense

Chargers - Top 10 QB, top 10 RB that can catch out of the backfield, top safety, great pair of DEs, top 15 WR. He can turn them from pretenders to contenders OVERNIGHT

 

With that said, any of these franchises will fork out money, so if you're Tepper and have a lifeless team with poor draft capital and no franchise players what's your pitch

 

Money: He has LOTS of it and has not been shy to flex that wallet, current highest paid coach is Bill B at $20 million a year

Commitment: he needs to know he won't be a one and done head coach, that to overhaul this is gonna take 3 years minimum

Control: he needs to know you won't be meddling with every decision or passing post it notes from your tecmo bowl evaluation

 

My offer is:

7 years, $210 million with Ben to pick his GM and it's only Ben and the GM who have final personnel matters

 

You have shown commitment financially by the annual rate and length of the contract, you've also shown you won't meddle in personnel or pick another flunk GM

He looks to want to win and build something over just money. Try seeing what GM he would work with and whatelse it would take to make it work. I'm not huge on a HC picking a GM, I would rather see the opposite (I don't want to see anything else from SF).

Tepper isn't getting rid of HIS GM and he isn't becoming more 'hands off' either. Expect a lot less then a Ben Johnson.

normally you don’t have coaches pick the GM it’s a backwards dynamic, weird, and doesn’t work…really only done with all star HCs but since the alternative is numnuts, I guess we have no choice 

even if I had no clue how or who to pick a GM, I’d demand dumbass Tepper get rid of Fit and let me pick names out of a hat

Hes not remotely close to that money....but dipper likes to try and play money ball.

Bears and Chargers would offer him a 10-15is a year contract for 4 years

If you wanted his attention here to deal with and clean up the mess, it's going to take a massive overpayment

      Tetairoa McMillan - Your 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year - (Welp... Guess I Was Right)

      By cranky · Posted

      Just chasing targets is a fools game. Chase averaged 85 yrds and .76 TDs per game his first year and 87.16 yrds, and .75 TD's per game his second year. Statistically the same. NOT an improvement. Puka saw no increase either. Yes, Waddle's went down because he had to share targets with another receiver - just like TMac will have to share targets with Coker next year so you have actually just made my point concerning Coker. Olave saw an increase in targets but Carr replaced Dalton and even with the increase in targets, his production was pretty flat (83 extra yards and 1 more TD for the entire year). And Wilson's number did increase but the Jets replaced the other two receivers and their contribution was significantly down from Davis's and Moore's. Again, nothing in those numbers should lead anyone to believe there will be a big leap for Tmac next year.

      See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.

      Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum
