140 million with over 36 million in signing bonus for 4 years. 110 million guaranteed.

Resets the WR market.

States the Panthers whole WR core costs less than 25 million a year while Jefferson will be getting 35 million a year.

Wonders where teams will start looking to go cheap with having to pay QBs and WRs so much now. They didn't mention how much edge rushers are getting and how that adds to the trouble of building a roster.

He is a really good WR and they have a rookie QB so they can afford it. Look at what they have been wasting on Cousins for years? That's where this cap came from lol. Now the guaranteed money is high but Minny had to keep him while taking a shot on a rookie QB.

dumb.

a lot of good WRs are going to keep coming out of college resulting in a devaluing the position, or at least affecting the scarcity of good receivers.

you pay that much when there isn't that much talent out there. i just don't think that's going to be the case anymore.

Idk, Justin Jefferson is different. The dumb ones are going to be the ones who will pay Justin Jefferson type money to just really good receivers. Same thing that happened with Brian Burns. It’s the guys who aren’t on that level that demand that level of pay now.

i just think that the separation in talent between guys like jefferson and the rest of the good ones is going to be diminishing. the level of talent that is and will be coming out of college now is just that good.

This isn't exactly a Super Bowl winning formula we're talking about here.  Justin Jefferson is a great player, but he's 0 rings.  And he probably will have 0 rings for as long as he's a Viking.

That's on the QB and staff at this point. If they have drafted a good QB then it could be a SB team. His deal is up before they have to pay the QB so it's at least a decent try. Cousins was a get into the playoffs QB so good for them moving on when it was obvious what their ceiling was. As long as they are not paying nonrookie QB contracts they have an extra 30 or 40 mil laying around.

Watching the WR market explode is a bonus. That model doesn't work when your paying a QB 40+ a year.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
