The Titans make weird decisions.

Damn that’s a lot of money.  

[Basbear]

Should have kept a much  younger aj brown if you're willing to go this high!!

[RJK]

That contract is crazy lol

[frankw]

Paying Calvin Ridley that much money is why I keep saying draft draft draft. Dan better HIT.

We can finally stop talking about signing Calvin Ridley.

Calvin Ridley is not worth that big time contact. You know Jefferson is smiling watching avg WR cash in. Rumor has it that JJ wants more than $30+ mill per year, he wants QB money!

These salaries are getting absolutely insane. At some point, the NFL salary model (resetting the market each year) will be unsustainable. The League as a whole can’t reset the market every year for nearly every position just because there is roughly 10% more money to spend.

Signed Hopkins with no QB.

Fired Vrabel didn't upgrade the HC.

Signed Mason Rudolph.

Signed Ridley still no QB.

 

Chaos!

Teams will start relying more on the draft for them to avoid those massive contracts. They will use the rookie payscale to their advantage.  Eventually there will be very few vet receivers getting anything close to that. It will take a supply and demand shift to settle the market. If I were running things I would be drafting skill position players in every draft just in preparation for situations like this.

I'd like to see an emphasis on running come back in style. I don't find the game more interesting than it was in the 2000s decade when there were phenomenal receivers and running backs shaping the league.

Being able to run the ball is crucial in the playoffs. If your lucky enough to get there. I believe in having a strong running game but you need a balanced attack during the regular season or you will run your RB's into the ground before the playoffs. Again, if you're lucky enough to get there.
