I would be OK with this. But the Steelers seem to dislike having incentive laden deals. I think Rooney prefers to have cost certainty. I don't...
I'm fine making him the highest paid CB now (not after Gonzalez signs). AAV doesn't mean as much as structure / guarantees. My guess is that the...
They start low because guys like Benton (and really Cam too) will take the team friendly deal. If you gave Omar truth serum, he'd likely also...
I tried watching this guy this offseason. But I just couldn't take the hyper-clickbaity titles.
I think it's important to remember that 3-5th highest paid isn't the same as 3-5th best player. Because cap inflation is really high in the NFL,...
If he can hold in long enough for Gonzales to sign, he'll definitely make more money. He's already made a lot of money by waiting this long. He...
I get it. I would prefer that he was something like the 3-5th highest paid CB when he signs (especially if Gonzales signed first). But it's also...
The hold-in stuff is pretty new. I think guys used to hold out. But the league made fines mandatory and changed it so teams couldn't waive...
While it's been reported that the Steelers haven't made an offer, I think this is BS media weasel words. There have unquestionably been talks....
Could be wrong, but I think from the beginning of camp Porter being on PUP is something that both the player and the team benefit from. That way...
This is just the market rate for a high end CB coming off a rookie deal. The cap inflation that comes from the massive revenue the NFL generated...
Not even to go all the way to winning a SB. Burrow has only made the playoffs twice of the six years he's been in the league. He did win 5 games...
I think this was true of him last game. But he's had such little work that I think it's hard to know if that's true on the whole. I assume that...
This is probably true for every franchise. And there will certainly be fans of other franchises that say this about Ben. Just like we say it...
I agree that looking at contracts is an OK, but imperfect way to do this. I only brought it up because you were doing it. As stated upthread, it...
I agree that it's hard to find AAV numbers from 2 years ago...which is why I think it would be better to use the contract he signed in 2025 (which...
The perennial probowl center also scored for the wrong team here.
Yep. It's hard to come back from big deficits like this. Especially when you're playing in the playoffs (which means you're playing against a good...
I think we're mostly saying the same thing. He was signed by the Texans on that 1 year deal to compete for the starting job on a team that was...
This is exactly why it's wasteful to spend big money on WRs when you have a very good QB. Because guys like Ben make WRs better than they are. So...
