[Hapless Bills Fan]

Every time I read this I'm just like SMH

Surely I must be worth 500 grand or so.

It just seems like it should be illegal right? Why not just add voidable years to every contract? Maybe limit voidable years to 2 years or something. 

because why would players agree to that.

It’s a one year, $12.159M contract restructure.  The rest is just pretend money.  I think it was a joke by NO and Hill.

Can we insert this tweet into the first post to avoid confusion?

Hill did.

1 year deal for 12m;  with a (3 year) poison pill to force renegotiation in 2022. Only carries 6mil in dead cap if he is cut. Not bad.

This doesn't seem like good cap allocation from the headline but if it off sets his money until next year when tv revenue will double it may be a non issue right...

This is stupid money. The Saints have lost their collective minds.

ultimately it gives them the option to retain him as a franchise qb on the near impossible shot he earns it

If the Saints can get away with stuff like this than there has to be more ways for the Bills to manipulate the cap to bring in a pass rusher free agent and maybe a tight end.

If you offer me a $9.6 Mil signing bonus, I’d have trouble hearing the rest of the details!  Take the money and run, baby!

there’s no “getting away with” anything here.

So now they're just gifting $35 million annual contracts to completely unproven QBs????

You can void all the years that you want if you pay me a 9.6M signing bonus 🤑

I feel like this is a joke.  Jokeman, Joker avatar, near-useless QB....outrageous post.

 

I'm with you if this guy can get this kind of cash with out having a for real arm & is nothing but legs Josh is drooling because if this guy got this kind of cash Josh will easily got Mahomes money ..

 

Sure QB's are the most important player on the field but dam these contracts are ridiculous !! JMHO .

Sure.  Couldn’t hurt from a motivational standpoint either.  But we all know what it really is.  And it’s not a 4 year, $140M extension.

I've been posting since 1999, my nickname in honor of Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling. I chose the avatar after SJ13 Why So Serious? t-shirt game against the Bengals.

No disrespect intended.

Forget Kaepernick! If Taysom can get a starting job, I feel bad for Tebow.
