But in hindsight, that can't have been the problem. Brees salary hasn't decreased of recent. Other bad cap choices have. So now I think the problem wasn't Brees salary per se (or how are they managing to draft/sign now?) but poor choices on how to spend the rest of their cap space (Byrd etc) I didn't say that Brees' salary was their sole problem, but it was most definitely a problem. Clearly bad contracts with other players like Byrd, and bad drafting were the bigger problem, but those problems were compounded by only operating with ~80% of the salary cap due to Brees' salary, before accounting for the usual dead money from other contracts.

The point is, Brees salary turned out not to be preventing them from fielding a competitive team, because for the last 2 years they have clearly fielded a competitive team. I personally think the Seasnakes are likely to be a dumpster fire, but that's gonna be because of other coaching and personnel choices they've made Paying the QB is just a current reality successful teams have to work around. Of course, paying him "off the books" as NE manages is one option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as fans/corporations are willing to spend increasing amounts of $$$ to the league then players salaries will continue to rise. I'd rather see players get their share rather than the owners reaping all the rewards. If you believe that the players deserve a certain percentage of league revenues then that pool of money needs to be divided up between the players on that team. As a Bills fan you must understand (if you've watched the Bills over the last 2 decades) that having a franchise QB is what separates contenders from pretenders. Russell Wilson is a franchise QB.

In favor of....what? This isn't how decisions are made. There is plenty of money to pay one of the best QBs in the league to be the best (by far) player on your team. It's not even a difficult decision, as the Seahawks just proved for you. Yes, Wilson had some great D's backing him up early on (and awful O-line protection throughout). Now that's all gone---and he's still carrying this team. Rodger's "hate"? No, just pointing out that he's not carrying that team. And at 33 million for a guy his age---the Packers are not getting nearly the value the Seahawks are getting for all that cap money in one player. Do you really think the Packers are going to "sniff a SB or NFCC" this year? No they aren't, so by your logic, they should cut or trade Rodgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer these pro's not whine about it. Are you telling NFL players who want pensions, guaranteed contracts, and less games in the season to stop whining as well? The NBA players have been trying to find ways to fix it, eliminating back to backs, etc but they haven't been able to come to an agreement with the owners yet. Larger team rotations probably wouldn't work in basketball though since it's a different style of game with a different flow. NFL players for example play one day a week with some rest and practice between NBA players routinely play back to backs and average 3.5 games a week during the season with practice and travel in between. They have very little time for recovery. It's a different type of damage and such on the body than the NFL, for sure, in some ways better and some ways worse. I think my point is that NFL players typically are worn down from repeated traumatic hits, vs NBA players grinding themselves into the ground with repeated running, jumping, driving and falling onto the court without time to recover on the days between. Very different but still destructive to the body. I will agree with you that ANY professional athlete can say it's a hard, tough job, but I also say that's part of why you make millions, because it's not an easy job, so I'm with you there Edited April 16, 2019 by SouthNYfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a mention that the Cheats pay his foundation or something like that so he gets way more without it being official player salary? And yes, being elite gets you paid. And the headcase situations for teams are when your QB is damn good but maybe not that good... Hopefully Josh becomes a true elite QB and not Stafford-Cousins-Tannehill-Carr-Prescott level... As for Rodgers, he's been getting a lot of flak lately. He's been one of THE best QB for sure. His personality must be really be causing some issues. yep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
