NFL players take significantly more risks with their bodies.

Yeah. A 3 year fully guaranteed deal seems more realistic. Idk how eligibility for the franchise tag works, but that could potentially screw them if they try to cash in

Julio will catch some flak now, but this will ultimately make him richer in the long run. Don’t blame him for wanting the money while the market is hot/he’s still relatively youthful, and I don’t blame others for calling him selfish or wanting him to report. Nature of the business.

In the end he got more money and some weird sounding contract negotiation


I sorta like the way they did it though He isn't getting any extra money at all so he didn't really get a raise.  They just took 4 mil from his base salary next year and turned it into a signing bonus.  So that 4 mil he gets now in cash and we spread that 4 mil across the next 3 years of his contract.  So he is still getting the same amount of money in general as his contract already said if he would have played all the games.  It doesn't affect our cap hit this year anymore since it's a signing bonus and it actually lowers the cap hits of his base salary's a few mil the next 2 or so years.   Although im quite sure they will do a new deal next offseason more than likely.

It makes him happy now just like a front loaded deal would but again they have to address it again or he won't be reporting to camp

That seems like a ludicrous thing to hold out over. 

 

Must have had some kind of debt

what a stupid comment. 

4 mil doesnt seem ludicrous to hold out over to me, but i guess im weird like that. he was assured theyd look at his deal next year, and hes not the type of player you can break promises to.

If you give up 4 million next year for 4 million this year, then you haven't gained anything.

Considering from the sound of it his contract had no more guaranteed money, this means that if for some reason he got injured or cut, not likely but we've seen crazier things, then he would be guaranteed the 4 million from next year that he wouldn't have gotten otherwise.  So he really has gained something and that's additional security.

Jarvis was massively overpaid, tho.

When you're Cleveland, you have to do what you have to! At least until the culture change (is coming IMO) of actually becoming a Winning Franchise!

That's the thing tho - if you're constantly overpaying guys the culture isn't going to change because your roster isn't going to actually get better as the rest of the league is paying less for more. Gotta build through the draft... I know the Browns have tried (and failed) to do this, but it's the only way. There's a long history of teams breaking the bank in free agency only to go on to having a losing record, and those contracts crippling them for years.

While true they can afford to pay players like Landry and others (deserving market value) because they're not wasting $100M on the QB position. It's why the Mayfield pick has to work out.

You build around Rookie contracts. If the Mayfield's, Garrett's, Wards, Peppers work out those are the building blocks you have on the cheap. By the time they get paid players getting top $ now, get cut, restructured, move on.

Although it looks right now that Jarvis is overpaid, the ever growing cap will make that contract look minimal in 3 years when WR's are making 20+. Unfortunately it's coming. I'm good with them overpaying to "acquire" talent. Otherwise no one would sign in Cleveland.

Browns future is trending Up! Assuming 1/2 or god forbid all 4 listed above aren't busts.
