Hold Out No More

Not a rip on you but, How tf would Brooke know this? Was she there? I call Bull****

 

Wow. He gets paid 10 lifetimes of me waking up at 5am to to work 9 hours a day, breaking my back, just to get by, for one season of playing football. Good for him while I go swallow a gun barrel.

Maybe it's because I'm drunk, but maybe our priorities, as a society, are a a little askew. Perhaps.

I've been drunk a lot lately. Hey, I'm sorry guys if I've been offensive with any posts recently. Life just really isn't going well. I'm sorry.

 

Nice. Glad that`s over.

 

She is just passing on Scheffter's info.

 

Cheer up . He already made more than I will ,,(before the New contract...)doing the same things You talked about.
Doesn't change anything thinking about it.

 

Thanks man!

 

No. Problem. Been there done that. I understand.

 

80M Guaranteed is insane!

 

If they didn't have it, they wouldn't pay it.

 

I know they got it. The risk factor is beyond ridiculous.

 

That is BS.

 

I want to see the breakdown.

Yes it's a lot, but cap hit each year going forward is what makes me feel if it's a good deal or not.

Obviously he is one of the best and he stays healthy. And he really does love Pittsburgh. So it's a no brainer to give him top money.

 

A side note, you'd be surprised what gets deducted from an NFL paycheck.

 

Bud was making that much wasn't he?

 

Not in today's NFL, look at Kirk Cousins.

 

He touches the Ball on his side of the ball every play,.....so whether he's the right Guy or not ...I don't know, but I get it.

 

Have to be careful who you give that guaranteed money to.

 

What did Cousins ever do for a fully guaranteed contract?
Minnesota had to have him not going anyplace else...lol

 

Agreed, Bad analogy. But I agree with the other person. Guarantee money doesn't bother me when we know Watt is a very healthy person and plays very smart.

 

agreed. i love watt but you can't weaken the rest of the team for the future with one contract and a greedy agent that wants to break the steelers way of doing business. we are rebuilding like it or not. we have a ton of dead money for this year and next and next year a lot of players to sign. we kind of went all in to make this year better but sooooo, many one year deals opens up a lot of holes for next. then the restructures and dead money to follow. we have to fill a roster and eventually find our next qb, and sign one of the best safeties we have had since troy to a mega deal.

 

If not, He should have

 

Sam Bradford made almost $130 million for being a bad QB. At least TJ has earned his money.

Btw, TJ was never a hold out.

 

Chances are good, the salary cap will rise significantly over the next few years. We shouldn't get too stressed about Watt's contract.
