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.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.

      At least we have Mike Kay and his little buddy sidekick whoever to put you to sleep when suffering from insomnia. They're all useless unfortunately.
