No state income tax, but still.........great deal for Bucs. 1

Everyone seems to be taking discounts, which ... means they're not actually discounts. The spotrac projection estimates seem way off to me so far given the reports coming in from around the league on signings.

In a normal year I wouldn't have been surprised to see him get $25M aav but I thought he would get $20M aav at least this year. I mean Watt got $15M aav.

I mean Watt got $15M aav. Yeah, but Watt was actually pretty darn good last year. He was the most double-teamed player in the league and for what it's worth had a significantly higher PFF grade than Barrett last season (85.4 to 70.7).

They are in the position the Bills were in recent offseasons...........not seen as a real contender..........so they will have to pay a bit of a premium............but that shows that there is some normalcy in the market and that below market is still a discount at this point in free agency. That Barrett deal was a relative steal for the top pass rusher in the first wave of FA.
IgotBILLStopay Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) This sets the upper limit for what a top level DE will earn this year (18 mill) - which is less than years past. The floor was set at 13 million with the Okwara signing. Now Judon, Dupree, Hendrickson, Ngakoue will all come in somewhere in-between if they are signed in the next week.
