Lamb. Parsons is a fantastic, elite player, but there are a lot of rumors that no one in the locker room would miss him if he got traded.

How long before Diggs demands a new deal?

Probably next offseason since he’ll be a free agent.

Man.  34 mil per year is STEEP.  That's a pretty big chunk of the cap for one player.  Wild how much the top end of contracts has exploded.

Justin Jefferson got $35M AAV so a deal just shy of that was expected. But, yeah, that is a lot of money/cap.

I’d take Parsons, even with his antics. You can find more game changing WRs - even as rookies - than you can elite pass rushers.

They can afford both.

Interesting to see the divide in the league right now:

Teams that are willing to pay $30million+ to sign a stud WR1 vs teams that decide to go the "WR by committee" route.

The Chiefs opted to go the latter route and let Hill walk. The Bills initially were part of the "pay megabucks to a WR1" camp, but then traded Diggs away and are going with option two now.

Will be interesting to see how trends involve in the league with this issue.

As for Lamb getting paid...I can't help but wonder if the other WR dominos (Chase, Aiyuk, etc) begin to fall now.

SanFran does not approve this message

 

Meanwhile, Aiyuk is at the car dealership shopping 


I think that’s where the issue lies with SF and Aiyuk. Aiyuk wants that type of money but SF doesn’t think he’s worth that amount but would prob gladly pay him like 25 a season

After the season if he can prove he can be as good as he was under Allen with Stroud. That said the Bengals aren't gonna like that if want to reup Chase unless they do HIggins for less on an extension and let Chase walk.
