1st Ammendment NoMas Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 That prices us out of Mack. 22.5m per year is madness for a DT. He will never live up to those numbers. With 40m guaranteed he takes a step back this year and by next year people wonder why LA spent so much on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Damn. So $22.5M per year. That makes him the highest paid Defensive linemen by a pretty comfortable margin. It looks like the next closest guy is at $17.1M. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/average/defensive-line/ Crazy to see Dareus listed at #8.

It may price others out but not a team with a QB on a rookie deal and no high priced players!! The Packers may be out at that level. This is good news for the Bills pursuit of Mack. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This narrows it further, and lowers the compensation that the Raiders can command. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meazy26 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Donald is the most dominant defensive force in this league. Regardless of his position, he deserves that contract. At the rate he’s going, he’ll be in the conversation for top-5 all time best defenders in history when his career is over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even pay that money to a defensive end or LB, only to a QB. I know my opinion may be an unpopular one but I've seen these deals blow up way too often. They'll get three years out of him and then he'll be a cap casualty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are another real possibility. What you are paying for is a player that the offense has to account for and scheme around on every single play - something we haven't really had here since #78 retired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff will no doubt get paid in a couple of years. So Goff and Donald will be their core pieces on offense and defense, respectively. Suh is only there for the next year or two, then will be gone, after the Rams make their short-term SB push. We'll see what happens after that in the longer term.
