This is EXACTLY why we should have been thrilled that Tre was first. If Tre signed tomorrow he was going to be an AAV of $21.5M. No matter what, he was going to sign for the biggest CB contract ever. That’s how it works. The market gets reset. With Ramsey, Humphrey, Lattimore all in line for a new deal it was huge for Tre to be first.

Yup and if Dak has a good season, the Cowboys are going to look like morons.  For young players, get them early and front loaded the contracts. That way, you have an out if they regress.

It does take two to tango. The players and agents know this also.
 

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you completely but both parties need to be on board (generally speaking).

Ramsey is an elite CB, but a headcase and a proven malcontent. To see him paid greater than $3.5million a year more than Tre is a travesty, but it’s the Rams error and not the Bills or Tre.

The tre deal was obviously great for the bills and us fans. But if I am tre I am immediately firing my agent. The guy got robbed, plain and simple. 

 

It sounds ridiculous considering he just got $55M guaranteed. But like I said in another thread way before this ramsey deal, if he were to hit the open market and sign a 6 year deal, he would make $25M+ more than what he's getting from the bills.

 

There is a home town discount and there's getting hosed. His agent screwed him. 

Tre articulated that he wanted to stay with the Bills and he wanted to do the deal now rather than wait. His agent works for him and does what Tre says

Where does Ramsey rank on the best CB list because he's not 1st or 2and?

Probably 3 and, as a player, he’s not far off.

Rams as of yesterday were 400k over the cap 

The Rams seem determined to spend themselves into decline. Talk about a team that seems to disregard the cap and relish the 'Stars and Scrubs' strategy.

 

That being said, they put themselves in a tough spot leverage-wise with that trade. Couldn't let him walk after giving up that draft haul and I'm sure Ramsey's people reminded the Rams front office of that.

 

Money: Ramsey > Tre

Talent: Tre > Ramsey

 

Love Tre and love Beane.

I'd say Gilmore and White are in a league of their own

 

After that I'd put Ramsey, Humphrey and Lattimore in the next tier.

For sure.  I respect them for betting on the player. On paper, the Cowboys offense is absolutely loaded. Dak should have a great year.

Take the money we saved on Tre and use it to extend Beane.

Let’s see how this season plays out first.

White is going to hold out for a new contract now

I know you’re kidding but I do if Tre and his agent are second guessing it.  Tre is a better player and much better dude.  He definitely could have gotten $20 million/ season.

It's true he could have found a $20M+ deal. But it would have most likely been on another team, which he'd have to wait TWO YEARS for. Maybe even 3 if we Franchise him. One small injury blows that whole deal.

 

If he was only a year away from the open market, I could see him trying to get it. But 2-3 years is too long to wait. Bird in the hand and all that.

 

Agreed that he is a better player and a better dude.
