Mcdermott Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The key to Dak’s deal is the term, he realizes that in 4 years $40M per year will be paltry. This “one year” cap drop is hysterical. Teams are going to use it to get rid of guys and sign others for less. The cap will be $220 next year and will keep skyrocketing with TV contracts doubling and the revenue they are going to see from all the new “crypto” sources.

That’s why he insisted on a 4 rather than a 5 year deal like Dallas wanted him to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but once I’ve made $100 MILLION dollars, I’m not sure how much the next $100 mil affects my life. I’d rather be on a good team that wins a lot than listen to my agent who sucks every dollar out of the team resulting in a sucky roster. Hate him or not, Brady did some stuff right. To each their own...... The value of incoming rookies on cheap deals is going to go up in terms of draft capital until we find a balance. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have heard players want to make max money, but highly talented QBs who often play 15+ seasons would be smart to stay around top 10. Point being there’s so many other sources of revenue for QBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) In actuality, we don't yet know the terms of Dak's contract yet. So we don't yet know how they're dealing with this year's cap hit, front-loading, back-loading and so on. Most of these contracts are in the details. No way to discuss it very intelligently till we know. About all we know is what is true for every contract, some of it can be signing bonus and the part that is will be amortized But as for this year's cap drop being laughable, that's nonsense. Of course teams are going to "use it to get rid of guys and sign others for less," as you say. They do that every year. It's basic cap management, so of course they'll do it this year too. Duh. It's going to cause a lot of teams to cut guys they'd rather not cut. We're a great example in terms of handling Milano and Daryl Williams. They'd love to keep both. They're among the best players on the team. If this year didn't have the one-year drop they would very likely keep both. This year doing that would be on the edge of impossible in terms of doing the other things they need to do this year. As for your guess at next year's cap, well, that's ... certainly one guess. People do forget, though, that the NFL didn't make $182M (assuming that's what the cap is next year) per team last year. The difference between what they actually made and the cap will be taken from future years of cap. Somehow. Perhaps if it's a $30M shortfall they'll make it up by subtracting $10M per year from the cap over the next three years. But they will make it up by subtracting from future cap. The owners aren't going to forget about that money. Edited March 9, 2021 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point being there’s so many other sources of revenue for QBs. That’s the game the NBA stars play. They can get max money anywhere so they group up into a couple of all star teams. Those teams dominate the league, they stay in the spotlight and the shoe, Gatorade and other endorsements money keeps rolling in. I’m very happy that the NFL’s dynamic does not lend itself to that.

Don Otreply Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 How much say does the players union have over the cap being lowered or raised? I was under the impression that the union only has a say as to the cap dollars distribution percentages, if so, is the actual cap amount controlled by the owners group, who knows the actual answer to this question?
