RandomCampBody Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 With Brady lets just say Robert Craft has already "invested" in TB12, how much money he has actually invested who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 16 hours ago, The LBC said: Conversely, it also sends a message about how quick you should be to guarantee money to players without some kind of failsafe (at which point, how "guaranteed" is it?). We had a spike in premature retirements since the last CBA was signed. It's naive to think that that won't have some sort of effect on the negotiations of the next one. Teams have already tried to de-guarantee "guaranteed" money as much as possible. Leonard Fournette is an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there's no income tax in Florida, even though he took LESS in Miami than he would have in Cleveland, he made more after taxes. CRAZY. It's same in Texas, no income taxes...

BroncoSojia Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Luck didn't get a big deal until 2016. Grigson had 4 years of Luck on a cost controlled contract and he blew that by having terrible drafts and FA signings. He also alienated just about everyone in the building during that time. He was a terrible GM and you can't blame Luck's contract for why the team was so talent deficient for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of that narrative above being used as to the Patriots success. Brady could afford to take less per year because he didn't have nor need a Wife working at a Boutique on the weekend trying to add $50 to his 300M. Massive difference. Brady took a paycut in '04/'05, before he'd even started dating Bundchen, let alone married her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
childofpudding Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Fully guaranteed deals for NFL players won't happen unless the deals get a lot smaller. Paying guaranteed deals to that many players per year in a physically demanding sport where the average career length is only a few years is a lot different than guaranteeing the salaries of far fewer players in a less physically demanding sport where average career length is longer. Boston Celtics have 18 active contracts, the Red Sox have 25. The Patriots have 92. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/boston-celtics/contracts/ https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/payroll/ https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/contracts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'm all for players getting what they can, more power to them, but to think they couldn't "afford" to take less is just ignorance. They can afford to quite easily, millions of dollars after taxes is still millions of dollars. Do they have to? No. Should they have to? No. Will it increase their chances of winning if they do? Yes. Also I think the full salary cap should be required to be spent by owners. Whether it's in salaries, or placed into a player pension fund or something, where the money would end up in players pockets eventually. This way there is no argument that taking a "pay cut" is benefitting the owner at all. No it's benefitting the player and the rest of the team in their mission to win a Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts4313 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Brady is like the highest paid QB this year. He is making $35m... they are just spreading it over multiple years. Actually Brees is probably highest paid. Brady is second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Luck had one of the best offensive lines in the league last season. All it takes is one hit/sack to be the final straw. Edited August 26, 2019 by Elky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False. He was making 15 million and received 8 million raise to 23 million cash actually. He is not making anywhere close to 35 million this year.
