If you draft well you shouldn't get penalized down the road and lose that player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the young people out there you will NEVER see this. The NFL wanted FA BAD back in the late 80's. It all started with Reggie White. The fans where getting tired of seeing the same teams over and over again. The fans and the NFL wanted different teams making the payoffs and Super Bowls so they went with a cap and FA. This put the Cowboys, 49ers, Bills all in check. I like FA and seeing guys move around. It sucked seeing the same thing over and over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe56 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I would love if the NFL adopted the bird rights system of the NBA With these QB contracts, you cant keep a lot of other good players on your team. Thats why its been shown recently your best window to win a SB is on your qb’s rookie deal, because its see ya to a lot of the other guys that helped you get there once that qb gets his second deal. Its also the reason im so anxious for the Jets to make a move for a guy like Clowney, I want to have a chance to win now while Sam is still on that rookie contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsandI Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Clowney is waiting for physical exam because ? Does he have a lengthy contract or a huge prove it money (one year contract) on the table? Edited May 6, 2020 by JetsandI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDotNova Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) At some point, teams are going to have decide not to sign these QBs. Are the Cowboys better off with Dalton at $5M or Dak at $35M? I’m taking Dalton even at $10M. You can have Dalton and another Amari Cooper for the price of Dak. If I’m the Cowboys GM, I would consider trading Dak. He’d probably command at least 2 1st. Probably 2 1st and a 2nd. Edited May 6, 2020 by SDotNova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDotNova Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) These top QBs are worth 30-35. It’s that second and third tier that is way over paid. Jared Goff - 33.5 Tannehill - 29.5 Brissett - 28.0 Id much rather have Nick Foles at $8M since all those second and third tier QBs rely on the people around them anyways. Might as well go cheaper at QB and stack the team around them. Edited May 6, 2020 by SDotNova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you sign Foles for $8M a guy may not want to come to your team. I just like the idea of a soft cap. Reward homegrown talent, bring back some loyalty. But just because I say that doesn't mean I would want to pay Dak all of that money. Homegrown or not you're not a $35M QB. It could also help these lower market teams afford their guys instead of always trying to retool (I think lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucked seeing the same thing over and over again. It was the union wanting FA not so much the owners. Hence the strike in 1987 that lead to FA and antitrust action and scab games. Players starting crossing a couple of weeks in ... Gastineau, Montana and a few other big names I think like Flutie, Randy White and Largent. Crumbled the whole strike but ended up netting FA and Salary cap. I think now form a league TV revenue and popularity of the league in part because of FA the owners may think FA was a good thing but no way did they want it in the late 80's. Remember watching those "scab" games. Scott Merseraeu was a replacement player at DT that stuck after the strike for the Jets #94. Ironically he is the guy Dennis Byrd went head first into the cause his paralysis and end his career.
