wjag Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Damn. The price of RT poker just went up. Contracts like this must have GMs league-wide spitting out their coffee and throwing their cups against the wall. Be interesting to see what team next signs an RT and for how much bitcoin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsmystic Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 It's bad news for every franchise when a team overpays and ups the market for a players price. Agents get cocky and players at the same position demand even more money. CJ Mosley, Ragnow, Jalen Ramsey, Dak, Elliott and some recent safety deals are examples Sure it's great for the players, but bad for the teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you see someone talking about an umpteen-million dollar EXTENSION, understand that the figure is NOT based on what the guy will be receiving per year, but instead on how much positive spin can be applied to make a contract look better on the player's side. He was due to count $11M this year, but along with the extension, that $11M has been reduced, but we don't know how much. Say for example he ends up getting $5M this year. That'd make the whole deal 6 years and on the order of $95M, which is still a lot, on the order of $16M, but not as much as the headline would make you think. Now, how much money at the end of the contract is back-loaded and unguaranteed? The devil's in the details.

I always look at the guaranteed money for my simple mind as agents tend to hype player contracts based on inflated annual averages. Ramczyk got 60 million guaranteed on a 5 year extension (10 million per year). Compare that to Dawkins who got 29.6 million guaranteed on a four year extension (about 6 million per year) and D. Williams three year deal (about 4.6 million per year). It makes both the Dawkins and Williams deal seem like a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get too caught up in the LT vs RT. Ramczyk is arguably the best RT in the NFL, and could likely make the transition to LT if needed. Armstead is pretty good, but is going into the last year of his contract. So might as well leave him at LT and Ramczyk at RT for now. Maybe slide him over if/when Armstead goes.
