BillsFan130 Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Overpaid but they had to do it in my opinion and that's where the QB market is now 1 Quote

I'd take Allen, Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow, Jackson, Tua, and Stroud over Lawrence. I’d put him 7th MaDouche Allen Burrow Lamar Herbert Stroud Lawrence Tua 4 3 Quote
Big Turk Posted June 14 Posted June 14 (edited) This is just getting stupid now...5 years, $275 million and $200 million guaranteed?? For WHAT? WTF has he done to earn anything close to that? They are paying him as if he is the best QB in the NFL and he is fringe top 10 on his best day. I'd probably put him around 12th overall in the NFL. Tua's price tag keeps going up which is always a good thing to see... Edited June 14 by Big Turk 2 Quote
DCofNC Posted June 14 Posted June 14 I would have understood it if that were his Head & Shoulder's deal, but for his play, that’s insane. 4 Quote
Success Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Trevor "plays his best only against Buffalo" Lawrence? Good. Let another AFC team waste some money. Quote

wppete Posted June 14 Posted June 14 What an insane contract for a guy like Lawrence. No doubt at all the Josh Allens contract right now is the biggest bargain in the NFL. But by the time he gets to his next contract Josh Allen will probably get $100million a year at this pace😂 1 Quote
HardyBoy Posted June 14 Posted June 14 (edited) Can he be traded before the contract kicks in? How does that work, do they still have to eat the dead cap if they trade a player before an extension kicks in or can that be traded and the guarentee goes to the other team like had signed him? My guess is since the money is still put in escrow by the team they would still he responsible for the guarenteed cap hit, but just curious. Edited June 14 by HardyBoy Quote

HardyBoy Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Just now, Captain Hindsight said: They would take an enormous dead cap. They aren’t not trading him That's what I'm asking...I know if you trade a player their guarenteed money is accelerated to that season and is kept on the trading teams books (like Diggs). My question is if that is the case if the contract is not technically active yet...like Allen's extension didn't kick in until he played out his 5th year option and maybe even his 4th year of his rookie deal, can't remember exactly when he signed.

wppete Posted June 14 Posted June 14 This is pretty wild. We have the biggest bargain in sports! https://www.instagram.com/p/C8LMeyIPvwk/?igsh=Nml0OHQ3aWJncHNv Quote
julian Posted June 14 Posted June 14 (edited) He makes one or two elite level throws a game, but he looks skinny and weak when I watch him play, like he’s trying to avoid being killed while playing QB. Or I’m just spoiled watching 17 truck dudes and give zero fawks about contact. Edited June 14 by julian 2 2 Quote

BigDingus Posted June 14 Posted June 14 I used to think these contracts were crazy, but now I'm kind of in favor of it. The NFL's been the most popular sport in the US for a long time now, but due to the amount of players, it fell behind MLB & NBA in terms of contracts. That's not the case anymore. And given that the cap is slowly approaching $300 million now, it makes sense that QBs would get paid a boatload of money. Mahomes & Allen's contracts looked pretty huge at the time, but each passing year makes them look better & better. 1 Quote
