Diva wide receiver shenanigans strike again!

[Sharky7337]

Poll - with diggs and hill most notably recently deciding to want to leave mid extension, do we see teams now looking to sign short contracts and protect themselves more?

perhaps for WR.  Reminds me of that hilarious commercial for I forget what brand where the diva WR is drafted, celebrates, and falls down the stairs.

Who is Stephen Diggs?

Tyreek is great but not worth the headache plus he is 31 in March.

You know they have to agree to it, right? That’s why they have agents and stuff. You have to compete in the market, not in a vacuum.

There will always be stupid teams who sign WRs to crazy deals. A few years ago, nobody would've believed a team would ever give a QB a fully guaranteed contract, and here we are...

This is the answer. The market speaks loudly. WR contracts are getting bigger as a total but also as a % of the cap. Teams are moving MORE towards a commitment to the top WRs. I know some people desire “the good ol’ days when players did what they are told.” That’s not sports in 2025. The power lies with the players.

Diggs's situation is that he is injured on IR....

[4th&long]

I'm thinking wr will be treated like rb's. Drafted every year cut when the rookie contract is up.

He used my favorite excuse, "I have to take care of my family."

I am sure they won't starve but maybe the Lamborghini is using to much gas.

And likely wont be back for next year for the full year and probably not overly effective for the rest of it as he gets back... I see him as an OBJ now.

Based on what? The data suggests that WR contracts and % of cap are higher now than at any point in history. The data says the exact opposite of what you posted. That is all true even before Chase signs his new deal that will certainly be historic.

what's that got to do with the OP's topic?

 

Players get injured.  Not something for factoring  into contract length--unless the player has a significant history and is near end of career..

Winner.  Beat me to it 😂

[T.E.]

Really interesting how some of these guys have no loyalty whatsoever to organizations who give them insane money and do everything in their power to make them successful on the field.

 

Miami gave Hill $105 MM guaranteed, and he feels no shame at all about causing problems during an off year.
