Aussie Joe Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 What’s Josh’s dead cap going to be when they restructure him again - $100m? I think he might be here again in 2025 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 15 hours ago, Thrivefourfive said: The subway money isn’t it. The NFL holds these guys hostage with the entire reputation. They can ruin anyone at a moment’s notice. Josh, and the smarts ones, do their job for the Shield during Super Bowl week.. it’s only a couple days.. the work is batshit easy, and they stay in the NFL’s good graces for all future professional and mostly personal trajectories. What?? Who's reputation has "The Shield" ruined for not doing interviews...or held "hostage"? What are you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why you’re so upset, and I don’t believe that you don’t know the NFL explicitly controls every player’s NIL. Josh’s big ol smiling head and pitch perfect line of speak is an NFL dream poster player. You don’t think they’d like it if Lamar Jackson was better on camera? If you don’t play by the NFL rules (John Gruden) you’re not getting center stage. What exactly do you think is going on Super Bowl week? Players, on their own, deciding to fly to Vegas, to do the spots, to advertise the NFL’s chosen brands.. because they’re independent contractors? Come on, Wee. I know you’re better than that.

I keep thinking that, if they had converted that first down after the two-minute warning, forced KC to use their timeouts, and then scored a TD with seconds remaining, we would have been hailing that final drive as masterful and the overall strategy of beating KC as perfect. Sigh. I keep thinking, was it only Allen that ***** up the perfect strategy? You run the clock down on ONE drive from 8:25 on to lose your mind at the 2MW? That’s on McD! First of all, Cook… not Allen was questionable on First Down to run. Having done that,you must, must attempt to get that critical one final First Down through underneath, in bounds patterns (available) and/or Allen run conversion on 3D. You must, must do so,to burn those TOs Kermit had! Scoring at 1:45 + 2 TOs was totally useless! THAT INFO MUST BE CONVEYED TO 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just pointing out BS ("the NFL explicitly controls every player’s NIL", the NFL ruins players' careers if they don't do interviews). Also, it what you say was true, Josh would have the most brand endorsement deals, by your logic. He doesn't. Gruden embarrassed himself, his team and the League---and was still paid tens of millions for it. They go because they are paid by the brands to promote this brand or that. Subway, for instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, back to a conversation. Thank you. I’ll accept being called a bullshitter, if you will. No, subway doesn’t pick and choose their endorsers without the NFL’s blessing. The NFL is ultimately pulling strings on every single second we see during Super Bowl week. I’m serious, Weo, this is an eleven figure business during its annual mega event in front of the world, how in the holy hell do they let anything take place that isn’t league blessed? If Josh spouted off about this and that, do you think the NFL would allow him to keep doing Subway ads?, even in the off season?! 😂 Gruden was fine until it was time to take down Snyder (because he was historically expendable [this was by far Goodell’s boldest move of his tenure] to cater to social trends…). Gruden embarrassed himself… and why do we know about it?? What do you got on Kaep? Love to hear it. Orchestrating basic ad placement interviews is not the same thing as fixing Super Bowl results…. really guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the NFL didn’t like the Josh Allen brand, he doesn’t get his huge smiling head all over Super Bowl week pushing League blessed company advertisements. The biggest fast food chain in the country and one of the faces of the NFL do not organically collide during Super Bowl week (only!!!😂) without the NFL’s stamp of approval. Yes, absolutely.

"league blessed". Subway is paying the NFL for the sponsorship, not a blessing. Josh works for Subway in all of these appearances--it was a master stroke for Subway to have him do as many "SB press row" interviews as possible with their product featured.

And the contract is for the specific player, in this instance, Josh Allen. I’m not trolling per sé, but I admit I know nothing, and everything that I write is from me literally sitting on a couch. I like banter, and I’m okay with being called out for silly ideas 😊 I’m sure we both have greater talents *that hopefully pay the bills* outside of being willing posters on our favorite team’s message board ☺️ It’s all good, Weo.
