Chicken Boo

Daniel Jones - $40+ million Saquon Barkley - $11 million Makes sense.

Good for him. The Raiders and Giants will suffer without them. The same folks slamming them over accepting their value in today's league will be crying about being "team players" next. Recently saw a lady in a faded Javon Walker jersey and that whole saga came back to me. Get your money, fellas.

For that kind of haul, I'd trade him in a heartbeat.

It's going to cost him eventually if doesn't wise up. Imagine how much better he'd be if took better care of himself.

So we're just going to leave out the 13 rushing TDs? Winning is the goal, not stats. Justin Herbert puts up gaudy stats. What has it ever led to?

Herbert needs to log a playoff win before he's anywhere near this discussion.

There are not 5 QBs in football better than Jalen Hurts currently. Outside of that costly fumble, he was great in the Super Bowl.

At least as many as last year.

Audi has its fingerprints all over Lamborghini these days. The Huracan is just an R8.

Fixed that for you 😉

I'm not convinced that this team is better than KC or Cincinnati, but I believe they can beat them and agree with the analogy.

I know a guy who was a resident of Northern VA. His tag read "F DAN". Right above it on his tailgate was Washington's old logo placed upside down. He had it for 7 years before he received a letter in the mail from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles stating that the tag was inappropriate and had to be changed. He always suspected that Dan or someone from his camp made a few calls.

As a car guy, I won't throw stones. Especially at his age.

NFL pension after 5 years includes health insurance and can cost up to $35,000 a year annually in premiums. Keep in mind that you have yet to buy a home, paid for your kids schooling or helped out mom and dad. No doubt, you can live comfortably being frugal, but it is extremely likely that you're going to be working still. In this scenario, you'd be 28 with a lot of life left to live.

For example, I'd rather pay Saquon $12-$15 million than Gabe Davis. That's fine if you want to tear it all down to find the right QB, but it isn't a justification for NOT paying the skill position player most responsible for your team's success.

Take a look at the last 15 Super Bowl winners and tell me how many of them have middling QBs.

It's definitely YOU that doesn't understand the difference between net and gross pay.

I clearly said after taxes and all expenses, especially if you have children. Taxes lop that $15 mill into almost half right off the top *and in this hypothetical, you'd be a former NFL RB. You're going to have former NFL RB knee, joint and back problems for the rest of your life. Heaven forbid you, your spouse or children get cancer or some other debilitating disease... You have to account for worst case scenarios. Cool. Now let's do QBs who make 2-4 times as much.

You don't understand, especially if you think $15 million after taxes, lawyer/agent fees, insurance and whatever other expenses your have or may come up, are guaranteed to float you and your family for life.

If you're a team that relies heavily on your star RB, then pay them. It's that simple. It disgusts me the way RBs are being treated when they take the worst beating of anyone on the field. What are the Titans, Giants, Raiders, Colts without their stud RBs, you know.. the guys that are directly tied to their success? Herbert is another whose flaws are exposed without Ekeler on the field. It's hard to win when you pay scrub QBs $40 + million per season, is more like it. Tell that to Henry, Taylor, Jacobs, Ekeler, Barkley, McCaffrey...all of whom are the key to their team's success.

You're not wrong, but it still doesn't compute for me. Josh Jacobs is 25, had 340 carries last year, 1653 yards at 4.9 a clip, and 53 receptions for another 400 yards. Add into that all that he does in pass protection. These teams want premium production for minimal wages. It's bs. Meanwhile the Tannehills and Daniel Joneses of the world are making 3-4 times their salary. Lunacy!

Gotta be hard to see Daniel Jones pocket $45 million per year on back of your hard work. I hope Saquon and Jacobs stick to their guns and hold out for as long as possible. Neither team is equipped to win without them.

It definitely did, just not more than $15 million per season. Cash is king, always.

All the way back to Vick with "DVD" (Dunn, Vick, Duckett), running QBs aid the run game. With proper play calling and design, it should make running the ball easier.
