Fadingpain Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 You would think the NFLPA would try to alter this trend. It's great for the QBs, but soon, the pay disbursal of an NFL team is going to be all the money to 3-5 guys, and everyone else in the league making nothing. They predicted that as the end outcome of the cap back when it was instituted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 100 mil guaranteed. That’s impressive. I pay more attention to the guaranteed money than the total money and length.

aristocrat Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Cap keeps going up and people keep forgetting that. If it goes up all contracts go up. A left tackle just got over 15 mil per on a deal. He got 20 mil per last deal and it was probably the same percentage of the cap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 These contracts are crazy. I think the best plan is to try and win a super bowl with a QB on a rookie deal. Bills have a five year super bowl window starting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way to look at it. So after 5 years of work he got a 1.28% raise. Compared to his past contract against the team player budget.

Why ruin it? Seriously, why would owners give that away? That would be sheer insanity. The players play, the owners own.

Boatdrinks Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It's the way the NFL team salary structure has been trending...

OrtonHearsaWho Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I think the bigger deal is the guaranteed money. If anything is potentially becoming a trend, that could be it. Premier players have been paid big contracts for years now...they make a lot more now but the increases are proportional. But compare Ryan and Cousins to McNabb's contract from the Redskins. It looked huge but was worthless in the long run. I think more guaranteed money will become a BIG deal going forward and could potentially result in another work stoppage. I for one am fine if that's the case (guaranteed money...not the work stoppage). Football players have their bodies wrecked more than other sports with less to show for it.
