That would be a fireable offense if an agent accepted that. 30 per year is fantasy land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL stands for NOT FOR LONG! You can get your guy 100 million guaranteed before he's become a starter, you do it. I'm as big a Jordan Love fan as there is but he's not proven a thing, other than 1/2 against Philly. There is a chance he doesn't pan out. There is also this thing called renegotiating. After a couple of years his agent could renegotiate the deal if he does well. The upside for Love is 100 million guaranteed, the downside is he gets the 5th year option and never gets another deal again. One could say not taking that deal would be an offense worthy of dismissal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to make 20 million next year, then will be in line for hitting the open market or franchise tags (90+ more over 2 years). Even if he doesnt play all that well for us he would get 30+ on the market in two years. The cap is rising and so too are qb salaries.

Lamar jacksons mom gives better advice than to take 5 years at 30 million per. It is premised on the expectation that Love would want to take a home town discount without accounting for cap growth. Matt ryan, ryan tannehill, jared goff money - except in 5 years. The deal is so long that there is no hold-out leverage to renegotiate with.

Hell, he was super high on Kyle Orton, and 12 is sorta of like fancy Kyle Orton at this point. I'm wondering if it a) isn't a sell to Rodgers, b) they feel the gap between rodgers and Jimmy G isn't huge, c) Brady isn't retiring, or d) 7 is too much to pay. I think its the latter, mixed with b. 12 is Orton. Holy **** the delusion is real. I think you smell because you **** your pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine paying the guy all this money to sit on the bench only up turn around and give him a 5 year deal while proving nothing. Gute might actually be dumb enough to do it.

Gute might actually be dumb enough to do it. Yup. You already are able to pay to keep him in 24 at 20 million, and have choice of non exclusive tag in 25 if he is not lights out. Love is a GBP or we get multiple first round picks if he is not worth top 5 money to us, but another team wants to pay him big. The whole proposition is nonsense from both sides.

MacReady Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 13 hours ago, skibrett15 said: they did a great job of blowing the game from start to finish. Giving up the lead after they were bailed out by the offense, only to get bailed out again and again I hate to pull this line because it's such a BS line, but did you watch the Chiefs in the postseason? Against the Jaguars, Bengals and Eagles, that defense flipped a switch at multiple points in games. Intercepted Burrow and sacked him in their final two drives. At the most crucial point in the Jaguars game, the Chiefs ended two consecutive drives with a fumble recovery and an interception. When the Chiefs are down, it's always the defense getting the ball back for Mahomes to clinch it. This whole conversation is lolable considering we're comparing the Chiefs defense to the Packers defense. They're capable of coming up huge at critical moments whether you can admit it or not. With who? They have two first round picks on their entire roster on the defensive side. They were both rookies this year. The Packers have 7 first round picks on their roster. It is absolutely 100% about attitude on defense. Some teams convince themselves they're going to win. Others come to the conclusion they're going to lose. They play accordingly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few minutes ago I was hearing the agent who agreed to this should be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
