He’s literally approaching Musk/Bezos space so I say spend it on our front office and coaching staff, let’s go…

Don't go overboard. The Broncos owners are like twice as rich as Tepper and they're no where close to Musk/Bezos. I mean Musk lost 200 billion this year and it didn't know him off his perch as the richest asshole in the world.

Yeah, front office and staff is where spending big can make a real difference since there's no salary cap there. Go out and hire the best people available and GTFO of their way and let them do their jobs.

It’s literally the only advantage he has.  

You can’t overpay for players, but you can overpay for experts.  Get some f’ing experts and PAY them.

The Broncos owners (multiple) are Walmart heirs and Musk no way lost $200B, he’s not even worth that.  

Just saying, 90th richest person in the world is insane rich.  Like Michael Jordan isn’t in the Top-1000.

Elon Musk Becomes First Person Ever to Lose $200 Billion

There's a lot of other articles out there saying the same thing

Okay correction, you’re correct, I looked it up.  Tepper is the 3rd richest owner in American Pro sports.

Ballmer - Clippers (~ $110B)

Walton - Broncos (~ $57B)

Tepper - Panthers (~ $21B)

Gilbert - Cavaliers (~ $18B)

Jerry Jones is a distant (~ $13B)

Cuban is ~ $6B

I just want a quarter of one.

Pocket change for Tepper

True, but it's all about perceived value. The kid should just be happy to get an NFL head coaching gig in my opinion. What has he really proven? 

Now from his perspective, I can see trying to get everything you can get, but from a thoughtful owner's perspective I'm simply not going to pay that kind of money until I see some concrete results over time.

Any coach that has other options will definitely have to be over paid to deal with Teppers poo until he changes his reputation. 

Johnson is putting this out there to let Tepper know that is the least he is going to take from him to deal with this clown show as his first head coaching job.

That's the funny thing, most if not all franchises aren't willing to touch 15M for a first time HC.  Yet he could get close to that if he pretty much begs anyone else to get close to that number to do a deal lol. That or he gets his 15+ in CAR but has a really well written contract that guarantees him x amount of years job security.  I don't think we're in endless rebuild territory but give a good coach the first 2 years to see ACTUAL progress and then years 3-4 to build upon or continue that progress.  This football stuff is much easier than we've been making it for the past 4 years.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
