Money should be the issue

Whether or not it matters to him is his choice but it has to matter for BigCat and the organization. If Pep stays, his cap hit is 16.683 million. His monetary hit over the past three years combined has been 39.492 million.

That would pay him $56,175,500 over a four year stretch. Owners and GM’s throughout the league are blasting the Raiders for signing Asomugha for potentially 45 million for just three years of future production. But at least they are paying for the absolute #1 CB in the league, no questions asked. Think about where Peppers is ranked with other DE’s in the league. Even if he gives us another 14 sacks next year, has his four year production been worth 56+ million? Think long and hard about that and make sure you weigh in the 2007 season.

Put it into perspective, Gross is going to get 60 million for six years. So based on the three names and amounts now mentioned, who do you think has the potential of giving their organization the least amount of production verses dollars paid?

Yes I realize that Gross and Asomugha’s contracts were planned and Peppers is a result of tagging and restructuring but intent is debatable, it’s the bottom line that counts. I think Pep needs to move on and the FO finds other alternatives. Everyone will be better off (except perhaps the new team that signs him).

      BREAKING: Panthers signing a new QB

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's true. I did actually mean the FO but that's a fair point.

      A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.

      Bills predictions

      If you only factor passing, there is a VERY mild argument Dalton is more efficient but it's ignoring the threat Cam was as a big play literally every snap. With his feet OR through the air. Dalton was never that type of player. I would say Dalton over 200 is a very safe bet.
