ESPN+: Top 10 WRs according to league personnel
Kirby Jackson replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Without being too much of a homer I agree 100%. Thielen is a nice player. He’s in the Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Juju, Lockett tier IMO. They are good players but don’t keep coordinators up at night. Diggs’ combination of route running and explosiveness put him in a tier above. He’s considered by many as the best route runner in the league. He has elite hands and is tough in traffic. He’s been a bit of a malcontent but his skill set is elite. -

Kirby Jackson replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
See I like Evans but think he plays in the perfect system. He’s big, fast and physical and they chuck it all over the field. Say what you want about Jameis but he did throw for 5,100 yards last year. It’s not like that doesn’t help those 2 receivers. I’m not sure how much more we can expect? Julio is clearly in the top 3 for me. A healthy Julio has the best tools IMO. -

Love the DJ Moore inclusion. He should be in consideration. Is it weird to think that his elite trait is consistency? Allen just feels so reliable. That’s my Cooper issue. -

Honestly, I thought he was the best player in football right before he lost his mind. -

I’d have Cooper lower. I just think he’s overrated. Diggs or Golladay would be there for me. I think I’d probably go with Golladay. -
Bills hire Jason Sinnarajah to Sr. Leadership team
Kirby Jackson replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don’t know the guy but sounds like he has a pretty good resume. It looks like he’s filling Dave Wheat’s role basically. I’ve been pretty adamant that the Pegula’s are not high end sports business minds. They had been surrounded by some early in their tenure but those people are now gone. It’s important to start to fill those roles with capable people. This feels like a step in the right direction. -

The Patriots will inevitably use “Maine” instead of “Mississippi” to gain that “competitive edge.” -

Mahomes Ten Year Deal with Chiefs
Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, they haven’t yet. He’s going to get 4 years and $160Mish next offseason. If I’m Dallas I probably try to make him play under the tag again but that’s playing with fire. -

This made me laugh. -

Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I do but we disagree on who is mad. If you said “Dallas is pissed ?“ I wouldn’t have commented. I interpreted the smiley face as laughing AT the pissed off party. It wasn’t just you either. Others had the same reaction. The point remains that giant contracts, at the same position, are great for impending free agents. They celebrate them because it means they will be getting more. That’s true in all cases. -

The guaranteed money over 5 years would still be in the $140M. -
Mahomes Ten Year Deal with Chiefs
Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mango touched on it earlier. Mario was a dominant player and we didn’t like him then. It happens all of the time in Buffalo. It’s strange. It’s like a weird insecurity complex. That doesn’t happen elsewhere. We hate guys picked early and guys paid handsomely. We like the guys that “earn” it. It’s really stupid but that’s how we are. -

Dak doesn’t care if they look like smart or idiots. He cares that he gets paid. He’s not furious about this. He’s THRILLED. That’s why I originally chimed in. This is a great development for him (and Watson, Lamar, etc). -

Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is, inarguably, a win for Dak (and all QBs). Josh Allen is having a great day. Sam Darnold is having a great day. Baker Mayfield is having a great day. Lamar Jackson is having the 2nd best day. That doesn’t matter though. QBs get paid regardless. Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Jimmy G, etc... this is a HUGE win for Dak. It’s a loss for Dallas now. Dak will get more in 8 months than he would have weeks ago. He’s looking at like like 4 years and $160M with $120M guaranteed (plus the $33M or whatever from this year). That’s more than he asked for. Oh yeah, I forgot about him!! Good call -

That’s the insurance for KC. 8 years from now the market value of Patrick Mahomes will probably be $60M plus a year. KC took the chance that it won’t be Alex Smith in order to lock him in at a smaller number. -

Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the exact opposite. He will play this year on the tag but then probably gets like $38M-$40M a year for 4 years. A giant contract is a good thing for all of the others at his position not the opposite. Mahomes is obviously the best player in the world so I don’t expect the next guy to top it but it resets the market in Dak’s (and all QBs) favor. -

Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nope, everyone will hate him. It’s strange. Mario Williams was an all-pro and people complained about his contract. The same thing is going to happen with Tre. It was either that or he doesn’t sign so yes. That average is good value over the life of the contract imo. -

If Josh plays to the level that I expect he’s going to be in the $30M’s. I’d guess something like 4 years, $145M with $115M guaranteed. Basically the Goff contract plus inflation. TBD will absolutely lose its collective minds and Josh Allen with simultaneously become public enemy number 1 in Buffalo. Buffalo fans hate all highly compensated athletes. It’s the strangest thing ever. -

That’s a good deal for KC. How the contract is structured will be interesting. Where are the outs for either side? -
Mahomes Ten Year Deal with Chiefs
Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don’t disagree but that’s a strong guarantee number IMO. As crazy as it sounds the longer deal with the higher guarantee swings back to the player IMO. Years 1-4 (advantage player), years 5-8 (advantage team), years 9-10 (advantage player). Football is a violent, violent game and the Chiefs would have to insure against an injury at least at some level I’d think? Mahomes is taking the security in this case vs. straight market value. I also assume that it’s tied to the cap at some level whether officially or unofficially. -

If Dak is getting between $35M and $40M a year why would you expect Mahomes to be at $30M or less a year? -

Kirby Jackson replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
$400M+ is my guess. I’ll take a shot, 10 years $425M, $250M guaranteed
