ColoradoBills

You are probably right. Personally I don't get this whole "media" recognition thing. I truly could care less. I do want the Bills to beat the Steelers! LOL.

Do you have a complete list of these "good" teams?

That is such a great story. LOL. It's the first thing I thought of too when I seen some of the posts.

He is 29 years old as we type. You actually think that is the problem here?

If Mahomes plays under his fifth-year option in 2021, he would make $24,837,000, according to CBS Sports Contributor Joel Corry. As it currently stands, that would make him the sixth-highest paid quarterback in the NFL, according to Spotrac. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/patrick-mahomes-21751/ Spotrac confirms the number in the "Transaction" part of his page.

Mahomes got $24.8 for his 5th year option. Josh's should be around $26 or maybe a little higher.

Titanic suck.

Like I said earlier, TEN got BAL next week and then a rematch with the Colts!

that's a shame

love it

It's been discussed that the link only works for US/Canada. Hap put out a phone number to try. Hope it helps Bad Things.

Nice designed play by TEN on that TD. I'd like to McKenzie try that.

Interesting next 3 games for these 2 teams. Tonight: IND @ TEN Week 11: GB @ IND TEN @ BAL Week 12: TEN @ IND

Deshaun Watson just signed for new money at $39 Million per year. He hasn't won a Super Bowl or an MVP. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/houston-texans/deshaun-watson-21753/

You are correct. How fans want to parse out the deals of all franchise QB post rookie contracts is a fun way to look at. If I was to predict (with the Covid stuff included) Josh Allen's cap hits it would be like this. 2021: $7 million (last year of rookie deal) 2022: $27 million (5th year option. Mahomes got $24.8 but his contract and Watson's will drive that up) 2023: 1st year of new money (lets say it's 40 average) will be about 80% of $40) - $32 Million 2024: 2nd year of new money (90% of average) - $36 Million 2025 : 3rd year of new money (100% of average) - $40 Million 2026: 4th year of new money (110% of average) - 44 Million 2027: 5th year of new money (120% of average) - 48 Million I'm not saying this will be exact but this is how all the QB 2nd contract Franchise QBs are structured. I don't think I'm smarter than anyone I'm just going by the norm. Exactly. I would add that its probably what every team thinks using the norm. The only other deviation is Josh holding out like Dak. I give that chance at less than 1%.

His new money was 45.

Yes. I would go so far as to say that the OR (before their 5th year option) is more for teams not quite sure about the QB OR the QB thinking they deserve more money than was offered (aka Dak). The recent QBs using the norm you described are: Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes ALL had their 5th year options picked up in April (respectively to the year drafted). ALL signed a contract EXTENSION (I capitalize this because it's just the way it's done.) before the start of their last year of the rookie contract. Josh Allen will follow EXACTLY this scenario. He will not hold out and the only way Beane and OBD do not follow the norm will be if he suffers a devastating injury or the wheels completely fall off in the next 7 games (which will not happen). The average per year will be 40 million (plus of minus a couple million) once again depending on the results of this season. The amount guaranteed will probably be an average of what the 4 other QBs got. The only variables in this scenario are: 1. How long is the contract? I think a minimum of 5 and maybe more. 2. How OBD wants to roll out the yearly cap hit. They have a lot of options there. So @BarleyNY, you and I will be right and any deviation of that is a long shot.

Spotrac has Josh Allen's market value right at 40 million per. I think the only big decision or surprise if you will is going to be the length of the contract. i would think it's at least 5 years and maybe even 6.

Exactly. Sean is not going to give us the game plan or anything else that matters. The only thing that comes out of OBD of importance during the season is the Injury Reports.

My friend got an XP ball from the Rockpile. We cherished that thing and used it all the time playing sandlot and street football. What I find funny is nowadays it would sit on a shelf.

I like Knox but I think you are correct with your assumptions. If he can't show it soon he will not be anything more than a TE2 in OBDs eyes going forward.

BB can do whatever he wants. I personally think he almost done coaching and he may go 1 more year to see if he can catch lighting in a bottle again with a QB. I don't see him winning 53 more games to surpass Shula.

I don't look to find players to be my "favorites" on sports teams but Diggs is just becoming one of mine.

I truly don't know. That's why my only comment was that the owners seem to think so and well, they are the owners. I am getting old enough I guess not to have to concern myself about things that I either can't control or the outcome doesn't really affect me. The only thing I can say about the new "rule" is............ if a team thinks they are going to "game" the system for a couple of 3rd round picks by hiring a coach who is lacking in talent well good luck to them because I think they are wrong with that train of thought.
