aristocrat Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Cap keeps going up and people keep forgetting that. If it goes up all contracts go up. A left tackle just got over 15 mil per on a deal. He got 20 mil per last deal and it was probably the same percentage of the cap 1

billspro Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 These contracts are crazy. I think the best plan is to try and win a super bowl with a QB on a rookie deal. Bills have a five year super bowl window starting now.

Still have to field a roster of 53. Yep. Go back and look at the 2008 draft— bunch of guys who are now OOF, with Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco, still going strong 10 years later.

Best way to look at it. So after 5 years of work he got a 1.28% raise. Compared to his past contract against the team player budget. Edited May 3, 2018 by MAJBobby

It's great for the QBs, but soon, the pay disbursal of an NFL team is going to be all the money to 3-5 guys, and everyone else in the league making nothing. They predicted that as the end outcome of the cap back when it was instituted. To be completely fair, at this point, they should just get rid of the cap. Every team in the league is oozing money, and popular players leaving franchises for FA is not exactly great for long term jersey sales.

When it will get iffy is if the cap stops growing Edited May 3, 2018 by MAJBobby

Why ruin it? Seriously, why would owners give that away? That would be sheer insanity. The players play, the owners own. They all make plenty of money right now. 1
Boatdrinks Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 It's the way the NFL team salary structure has been trending... Elite QBs, elite pass rushers, elite pass protectors, elite WRs, elite CBs that cover them. Then everyone else shares what's left. 2

OrtonHearsaWho Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 I think the bigger deal is the guaranteed money. If anything is potentially becoming a trend, that could be it. Premier players have been paid big contracts for years now...they make a lot more now but the increases are proportional. But compare Ryan and Cousins to McNabb's contract from the Redskins. It looked huge but was worthless in the long run. I think more guaranteed money will become a BIG deal going forward and could potentially result in another work stoppage. I for one am fine if that's the case (guaranteed money...not the work stoppage). Football players have their bodies wrecked more than other sports with less to show for it.
