The players agents dictate the market then.

What if the NFL steps in and says they're gonna limit the salary based on the players position?

QB's - no more than 10%

WR - no more than 5%

.............. and so on,

It'll make it easier for teams to sign there own players. It'll put more emphasis on drafting good players and keeping them.

Teams will be built from the draft, the way it should be.

 

 

 

The NFL does not have that power. It would have to be collectively bargained in a new CBA. QB pay is getting out of control, but I’m not sure what the best solution is. 

 

A wise man I knew once said the answer to high prices is...........high prices. Those rookie deals look more inviting every year.

Maybe Josh is between Prescott and Mahomes?

I’m not saying this because I’m a bills fan but Allen is way better then dak. Allen had 0 run game and everyone know what was coming and Allen still carried this team to the AFCC just think if we had Zeke. So I think he will get more then dak especially if he plays the same this year.

I don't see why ANY team would be opposed to it. I'm sure some players wont like it.  Tough sh*t, if you got a problem with it, go get a normal job.

You do understand collective bargaining and the CBA, right???  You know, contracts and “stuff”.  What all the lawyers do?

So let's do a little  accounting

 

Est cap 170mill

 

Dak 40 mill

Zek 15 mill

 

So 55 mill for 2 players 

170 -55

 

115 mill for 49 players 

 

So basically  2mill per player 

And just think Oliver gets 4mill per year on a first round pick

 

Not many clams to go around for the rest of the team

To a certain extent yes. And again, why should 1 player get upwards of 12% or more of the teams salary cap? Is there a rule saying the QB should get that much? Or a star WR should get around 10%? or why 3/4 players should consist of 25% of the teams salary cap? I don't think so....

Mind you, I didn't look at the CBA, but I believe that as long as the team is under the cap before the season starts(or whatever the rule specifically states) then that's all that matters.

If the cap is 170M, The top QB's (Mahomes) should get 10%, so at most 17M. Dak's would probably be like 12M in this scenario.

Just limit the positional spending(all positions, not just QB). It'll give teams a lot more money to put towards other positions of need. Some players would get mad because they wont get as much, but others would end up getting more.

This sucks, it is going to drive Allen's price way, way up and limit us building depth around him long term. 

I don’t think this deal will impact Josh’s deal at all. He was always going to get 40+ million on his deal. The cap will start going back up, the Bills will be able to build a team around him.

Guess Allen just made a killing without doing a thing...

Not really...the cap is about to skyrocket especially after the new TV contracts kick in after 2022...

If the aav is 40 million then what the hell was Dak asking for? These QB deals are absurd. I think this sets the market for Josh as he isn't taking a penny less.

I think Josh is focused on winning a championship and like Brady will do right by the team to ensure that they can put a competitive team around him.

Watson 39 last year

Dak 40 this year

Mahomes 45 last year

 

 

Factoring in QB Inflation, Josh should get 47-48 

I don’t think he will get more than Mahomes. Mahomes was a MVP and Super Bowl winner. 
I can see 10 years at 430 million with half guaranteed. I think that’s a fair contract.
