MJS Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 4 hours ago, Mango said: I actually don’t mind the contract value. It’s billionaires paying millionaires a fraction of the product they produce. I’d be for the salary cap taking a larger percentage. I do wish the QB market was less of a percentage though. The players get 48% of revenue. So, about half of revenue goes to the owners who pay employees, maintain stadiums and other facilities, pay utilities, and all the other costs associated with running a business, including paying pensions and healthcare for retired players. So, it isn't like they are just taking half the money and just using it on themselves. And this is all collectively bargained. If the players association wants a larger cut, they have to bargain for it. I personally think it is fine the way it is. Players are making boat loads of money. Owners are too. Since the players get a percentage of revenue, both parties have incentive to see revenue grow, and contracts are ballooning because revenue has been ballooning. The highest paid player 10 years ago was making $20 million a year. Now it is $55 million per year. Almost tripled in a decade! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without derailing the thread, different from other business ventures, the players, their personal lives, and their play on the field are the product. If the players woke up and said "We want 52% of revenue." I would support that. I don't necessarily mean they are getting jobbed. That said QB contracts are bonkers. To your point the QB contract has nearly tripled while the salary cap has only nearly doubled over the last 10 years. I definitely wish the quarterback wasn't taking such a large piece of the pie these days. I am surprised that some of these guys haven't caught on. A big part of Brady's longevity was him taking some paycuts over the years for depth at WR, OL, and of course some of those stingy New England defenses. Imagine if Burrow took $40M and said "Make sure you keep Chase, Higgins, and Boyd". EDIT: QB's are paid like they are Lebron, Kobe, Mike, etc. But honestly, in BB those guys can more or less win you a championship on their own. How many years did Rodgers flounder? Brees? You can't win in the NFL without a QB, but having a QB and paying a QB can make it difficult without being savvy elsewhere.

Of course that's not true. Would be like saying all poor people are dumb. I am not by any means trying to argue that Mike Brown is an intelligent owner. I’d say he’s near the bottom of the list of good owners. But I guess I’m just failing to see how you think Burrows contract hurts Mike Brown’s bottom line, or why you think this makes him insane? Besides having to guarantee the money, I would say it’s a big win for Mike Brown’s pocket book. The Bengals are quickly becoming a popular national team with Burrow at QB and have made the AFC championship game twice and the super bowl once in burrow’s 3 years as the starter. That’s more revenue for Mike Brown. I would say he is making more profit by paying Burrow, considering how much he’s already helped the bengals popularity and playoff revenue. And what was his alternative? Refuse to guarantee Burrow the market rate, tag him twice and let him walk? Why would they do that to their beloved star franchise QB who wants to spend his entire career in Cincinnati? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 100% of guaranteed money into escrow. Non guaranteed salary can come from elsewhere. That’s why owners fight so hard against fully guaranteed contracts. That interest alone from that Burrow guaranteed money is at a minimum $10 million a year Brown isn’t pocketing. Guys like Pegula, Kraft and Kroenke can swallow it. Same with the Packer without an owner. For guys like Brown and Davis losing that liquidity and interest is a big deal. It’s one of the reasons that the raiders had to trade Kahlil Mack. Separates the rich owners from the guys who survive on NFL cash. Jones is a bit different because of how big the cowboys brand is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being so bad that we are giving him away for a dime two years into a cheap rookie deal definitely hurts the long term outlook. Benford (or less likely Elam) hitting big would be massive for them. As would a big Greg leap. Because they need to have one premium position beyond Josh manned by a young guy who is legit top 10 at his position.

There are other estimates on google, ranging from $250M to $256M, so situation might be actually a little (or significantly) better. Oh and technically we have 3 DEs under contract - Jonathan being the 3rd. I think we use him as DE more than DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how he gets used this year. A guy like him might be hurt by our heavy rotation because we rotate a whole second unit in which means they all need to be able to play as a base end. I think Jonathan really wants to be a pass rush specialist only in on 2nd/3rd and longs lined up as a wide 9 and let go hunt. If they want him to play the run well on 1st down he won't and he will get taken off the field. It's about usage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrow told reporters Tuesday that "whenever you have guys on the team that need to be paid, that's always on your mind." "You want that to be a focal point," Burrow said, regarding keeping Higgins and Chase. "We're working to make that happen. ... You gotta have good players. It doesn't matter how good your quarterback is. If you don't have good players around him, you're not going to be a very good team." Quote Higgins even noted Tuesday that he, Burrow and Chase all "talk about staying together for the long run." "Hopefully we can do that," Higgins said, "and get something negotiated to where they can keep all three of us." Like Higgins, Chase sounded like he believes Burrow won't chase market-setting money and instead look to keep the Bengals' offensive core intact. “He knows what he has to do to win and he wants to win," Chase said. "He's a winning guy. He's not a quarterback that's always interested in money and all that other stuff. He just wants to win, and that's the big thing about Joe." So much for that… lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 “Joe Cool” is a top 5 QB in the NFL. He had to get paid. His performance today against a revved up Browns defense was that of a tentative, injury compromised QB. How long this level of play lasts is anyone’s guess, but I would be a little concerned about his ability to stay healthy for the long haul. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
