These marquee guys just don’t hit FA anymore

Surprised the Steelers caved after this thug made those social media posts from listening to his bad-influence brother.

TJ Watt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> James Cook

 

Honestly, did anyone think Watt wouldn't get a new deal from Pittsburgh? 

[NewEra]

We got Rousseau on such a great deal considering his age and potential.

It will be interesting to see the details, Watt is entering the Miller zone we just experienced.

And you think Cook is more valuable than Watt in what way?

Is that what I said?

Hell of a lot of money to pay for 9-8.

[HardyBoy]

I don't understand why that gets reported as $41m/yr...it's 95% most likely not going to be that...they should report it as $36m/yr...and even then, without having looked, I'm gonna assume it's a two year deal with a void year even if there isn't a void year...like he'll restructure or be cut after the second year most likely as a pre workout bonus designated as a post June 1 cut or something?

 

But yeah, why do they report average yearly salary based on the total value and not the guaranteed value or at least give it as two values: the guaranteed/yr and the max value/yr.

 

It's not just a small annoyance either, people use that to calculate % of cap at signing and such and it drives narratives and pro bowl/all pro voting, etc.

[Doc Brown]

I never doubted they'd figure it out but didn't expect $108m guaranteed for three years.  Taking advantage of Rodgers's rookie deal.

TJ Watt is the type of elite player who can shake free.  Older, coming off a year where people wonder if he’s lost a step. 
 

Still gets this contract. 
 

If you want a difference maker, you better draft one.

Surprising Dallas keeps punting a contract with Micah Parsons down the road.  Price keeps going up on him and Hendrickson.

Dumb ass

They looooove waiting until just before Opening Day. Jerry just burning through his money being so stubborn.

[SCBills]

Bengals folks had been hearing there’s been somewhat positive momentum on a Hendrickson deal.   Have to wonder if this changes anything.

It’s a tradition up there with a game on Thanksgiving Day, Jerruh playing things poorly on the contract front. 

[HOUSE]

This means the Steelers will draft at # 8 instead of #9

Big Progress here....

[bigduke6]

well,  thats a lot of scratch for a guy whos no spring chicken and been barely healthy the last few years.  does this fix their offensive line and QB problems?

Neither he nor Micah's contracts will match their impact.
