Most folks disagreed when I posted that there needs to be a salary cap carve-out for QB's but here's more proof.  Mind-numbing deals ($40 million for Daniel Jones?) shows that the system is totally out of whack.  It's brutally unfair to RB's on top of other things, especially first round picks where the club retains a fifth year option.  Look at Barkley.  Franchise him for $10 million?  No brainer.

How is a salary cap for QBs supposed to be implemented.  Does each team get say $50 million in total for the QB position?  So Allen would get $45 and 3 other QBs would split the $5.  It would never work, the NFLPA would never agree to it, cant limit the $ for one specific position.

 

The league ebbs and flows and right now QBs are ridiculously important, the league wil evolve and change.

This dude is delusional. Allen's deal is looking like grand theft Beane more and more.

Allen signed a market deal at the time. It wasn't grand theft. All contracts will go up and Allen will get bigger money in his next restructured deal in a couple of years.

L.Jackson is not getting that number. 

Sure he will, easy call.  There are enough desperate teams "one QB away".

I think the NFLPA would definitely be on board with this. Would automatically mean more money for all non-QB positions. That said, this would still go against the reason of having the cap. More money spent on other positions would disrupt parity.

Getting paid more than Josh.  SMH.

A lot of QBs will be paid more than Allen in next 2 years. Then when Allen gets restructured he'll make more. This happens all the time with contracts. The salary cap goes up so do contracts

Yeah right. There are zero teams that are going to pay Jones that amount of money. Unless there is a bunch of funky accounting going on where he makes like $25-30 million the first few years and the number balloons to make the average come out to that but both sides know he is never seeing that money.

He had one real nice game in the playoffs against a weak Vikings defense.  And crashed down to earth the following weak in the Divisional playoff game against the Eagles.  He could be real good going forward.  But he could also crash and burn, and turn into Carson Wentz.  You just never know with QB's.  Who is better he or Derrick Carr is the big question.  I am not sure I would want either of them as my starter.  But I would lean towards Jones.  More mobility.  And any QB who is going to break down and cry in a press conference after a game, that's not who I want leading my guys into battle every week.

I think it would be a mistake to give up on Brown (and don't think they will).  He wasn't considered "pro ready" when drafted, and was always more in the developmental category.  The injury last year didn't help.

 

It would be rough to end up in the same situation that we are seeing w/ Teller - where we let a good one that we drafted get away.

Salary caps for individual players work in the NBA. They call it a "max contract". So LeBron can sign a max contract but not a penny more. The NFL needs to do something like that

Moments later........in private

 

[BillsCuse]

He's not getting 40 million per year, let alone 45 - 0% chance that he does.  

[Man with No Name]

i just can't see there being a huge market for him if the giants let him go. over 40, really? 

[78thealltimegreat]

Ok this is an insane amount of money for at best top 12-15 QB

Is Brad Spielberger his agent?

I don’t know he does work for PFF and overthecap and he probably should be if Jones gets that contract.

[bouds]

If he gets that kind of money, it's going  to open up talks of capping contracts.  This dude is a scrub, he'll keep you in 7-10/9-8 purgatory for the length of the deal.  Would have to be one of those bogus contracts without many guarantees.

[Man with No Name]

well, i root for any team that is not the buffalo bills to make bad decisions. show that man the money!
