Alphadawg7 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Over paid him IMHO, but also had to because there was no way they would sign him for less. Dont get me wrong, he's a very good QB who I would be stoked if he was a Buffalo Bill. But he is not worth $30M a year, but its also very difficult to find a QB as good as Ryan. For me, only 4 guys are in the NFL today that are worthy of this much...Rogers, Brady, Brees, and Wilson. But, thats not how the NFL works...the next guy up, as long as he is pretty good, will be paid as if he is the best. I don't think anyone but the top 2 or 3 guys should get this kind of money, and even though Ryan is a very good QB, he is not IMO one of top 2 or 3 in the NFL. Too often his teams have come up short in the playoffs or flat out not made the playoffs. But again, there is zero percent chance he was going to get paid less and I get why the Falcons paid him. But for me, Ryan hasn't been enough...now with all this money in him, limits the more talent they can put around him. Where as guys like Brady can take a less talented team to SB championships.

BillsFan4 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Just now, LikeIGiveADarn said: To be completely fair, at this point, they should just get rid of the cap. Every team in the league is oozing money, and popular players leaving franchises for FA is not exactly great for long term jersey sales. Sure it is! lol A fan (usually) only buys a certain player's jersey once. If that player changes teams, a whole new set of fans can/will buy his jersey. And then the fan base from the team he left will buy a jersey for another player currently on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what happens? I feel as though the Pats winning streak is partly because they avoid this trap. It may not be that big a part at all. The Pats winning streak is largely due to the presence of a single player. Does it help a bit that Brady's deal is below market? Sure, but not as much as you might think. The Pats have not been known as big spenders during their run, and last offseason's FA splurge was their first in recent memory. Their MO has been more about trading players while they still have value, rather than paying the big $$ to retain them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben won on his rookie deal, Brady has always had a mid level QB contract, Manning was coming off neck surgery so I think he was only around 18 mil, and Brees was on his first free agent contract I believe before he broke the bank. I think Brady, Flacco, Wentz, and Wilson all prove that you are more likely to win with a smaller QB contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It proves that it's possible, but if & only if your team also absolutely crushes it at the draft or player acquisition which not a lot of teams can say.

Compared to his past contract against the team player budget. Can not look at it that way. Cap is a fluctuating animal based on NFL income and players still are only worth market rate based on play level, injury history, age, team cap space, etc etc.....at the time of the contract. If Matt Ryan played avg he would not have received a raise. Edited May 4, 2018 by cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cba fan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: It would be much less expensive to let Aaron play out his deal and then franchise him two years in a row. Would avg about 24 to 25 mill for next 4 years vs 32 mill a year in the redo. Of course Aaron will throw a fit that would make Dez and OBJ proud and that could maybe be untenable for Packers GM and front office due to connections Aaron has with the franchise. But this is a business and throwing unneeded millions at Aaron is not a smart business move as they have a weak roster for Super Bowl level and need upgrades. If Bellycheat hardballed Aaron everyone would say he is a genius. I would be inclined to hardball him a bit as he has not elevated the Packers to Super Bowl wins, has injury history, is getting old, he could easily drop off performance wise before his deal is up and Packers may not even want to franchise him in 3 years...... etc etc........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predicted the 30 million for Ryan back during the Cousins contract speculation threads. It was one of the reasons I said Cousins would sign for over 28 (adjusted Stafford $'s) and not be for 30 million. If these calculations hold up then Aaron Rodgers will be signed for over 31 million per.

Chicharito Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 If your really a team guy and want to win how do you negotiate that kind of a contract? I know money is what makes the world go around but tying up that much money into one player how can you actually build other team positions and needs. Maybe this is why Julio wants out he knows he can't get paid now! But I guess we will find out in 5 years when it's time to pony up for Allen!

Georgia Bill Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I wonder how often these kind of deals for the QB's act as a de-motivator for other players. They might feel that if they are valued so much less maybe they shouldn't try quite so hard. When morale starts to slip, there is not a lot a QB can do about it, no matter how good he is. Of course on the other hand there are probably a lot of players (most?) who realize the best way for them to ensure getting paid as much as they can for as long as they can is to play really good ball. Doing so on a team that is consistently a winner is even better for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some teams are realizing the huge gap between rookie QB and even a journeyman type QB. More and more teams are trading up to get a rookie. You could make an argument that it is smarter to draft another QB in the 1st IF your rookie isn't looking as good as you hoped in 3 years. When a team pulls the trigger on resigning a QB they better be right or you end up with a "Tannehill" situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
