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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
