Nick Bosa signs - 5 years, $170 Million

[wjag]

Brett Veach is probably apoplectic now..  Meanwhile in the Jones' household ....

[Mr. WEO]

So what would the injury settlement look like with a contract like that?

[PonyBoy]

Great! I wonder how much Epenesa is going to want now!

You can do that when you run the least QB-dependent offensive system in the NFL.

 

And Mr Irrelevant under contract for peanuts for a few years.  

[Saxum]

Nick Bosa should change to #34 (available) since he is the $34 Million dollar man.

I'm old enough to remember reading Ralph paid 40,000 for the rights to an NFL franchise in his 2nd choice of locations when he did not get the Miami franchise he wanted.

Well, I'm old enough to remember when Fred Flintstone was on the ONE DOLLAR BILL. 

So there ...

I’m old enough to remember when that was considered QB type money 

 

That amount is more than the entire team salary cap of 1994

Why should NFL be any different than US with the hyperinflation?

The Von deal with the upside of elite pass rushing on a sporadic basis is looking better and better.

 

Agreed.

 

I was somewhat opposed to the Miller signing.  I saw the importance of having an edge guy like Von on the team, of course.  But I worried about the cap implications and opportunity cost.  We could have built a better OL with that money!   In fact, I still complain about the opportunity cost.  

 

But, compared to this deal, Von looks like a bargain.  

[Ethan in Cleveland]

49ers had other options.  Force him to play on the tag or trade him. Sometimes you just have to make the tough call and let them go be someone else's cap problem.  The master of this was of course Belichick but Ozzie Newsome was good at it too.  Both won titles with great defenses. Not sure that is possible anymore.

How’s he supposed to feed his family?

There's no chance he comes close to living up to that contract. Even if he gets 20 sacks a year, is 1.7M/sack even worth it? That would be like paying AJ Epenesa 10M last year.

It's far more realistic that he averages in the mid double digits ~15 for 2.8M/sack

 

Contract doesn't make sense to me either.  He had better dominate in the post season.

every deal from 2-3 years old looks better. 

[Shortchaz]

Good for him but impossible to live up to that (imo)

Probably was top QB money like what, 10 years ago even?

 

Crazy how much the cap has skyrocketed 

Literally 5 years ago. Matt Ryan signed for 5 years $150 million.

Sometimes it just doesn’t work out

[klos63]

The cap goes up every season, by a lot, and teams restructure deals that frees up a lot also.  Let's not overreact here. SF is fine. Super bowl contender with an amazing defense.

The QB contract is starting to flirt with becoming prohibitive. 
 

The QB plus superstar WR1 combo is definitely prohibitive in modern terms. (Allen/Diggs are nearly $75M next season)

I haven’t run numbers in the last year or so but as a percentage of cap qb contracts aren’t wildly out of line with days gone by. 
 

the remarkable thing is likely as a percentage of ownership cash on hand
