"3rd and Jauan" Jennings l WR Tennessee, signs with Vikings

He's worth $15 million easily. He's our best, most healthy and most productive WR. Big and physical and aggressive too. He has it all but straight line speed. $7.5 million is ridiculous for him. Pay him. With top guys now making $30, $32, $35 million and soon to be $40 million as the cap increases this is not too much. It's a good deal for him. 2 years at $15 million would be fair and he's worth that. There is no argument that he's not. As the cap increases and top guys start making around $40 million it won't even look like a bad deal. More like a steal.

The most I would offer is some incentives. They can't keep spending recklessly. They're already paying the price with Aiyuk and Deebo's dead money.

JJ has the best hands on our team. He is our most reliable WR to complete the catch. Find a way to pay him.

If you do a market value system that adjusts up and down based on performance, though fair, the players would never agree to it.

The owners would never agree to a system that just went up, either. Bc you don't become a billionaire throwing money around, you pinch pennies where you can. Remember, they love their money far more than most. So, they would want optimum control over it.

The players also might not want a system that adjusts bc it prevents the chance of setting the new payout at a much higher level than what a system that already makes adjustments would allow.

There's layers. The owners have to spend the cap space, that's the players revenue. The owners only control who gets what % and the GTD payouts.

IF they trade JJ - which I doubt - who are the best candidates in FA to sign?

Such a b***h move by him, which sucks because he's a fan favorite, mofo signed his extension less than a year ago 😂

It would be a shame to screw this up because we over paid on the last two WR deals

He way outplayed his contract last year. If he does that again this year, the question becomes will we want to pay him or will our youngsters be getting traction. We can't franchise him, because without speed, he'll never be worth that. It will be pay him a bunch, or let him walk for a comp pick. Or trade him now and see what we've got in our 2nd year players and others. Any chance Pitt would cough up a 2nd for a good #2? That would be a decision.

I'd be surprised if we got a 3rd. No way in hell a team gives a 2nd imo

My guess would be Gabriel Davis, we've been interested in Cooper but dude seems completely washed at this point

Fr, really we'd probably get a comp pick letting him walk after this year similar to what we'd get for him.

I think you have to find a way to pay JJ this year because we are one of the SB favorites and the SB is in Santa Clara next year. You don't know how long that SB window favorite stays open.

I can't argue with that, but then, how much per year are you willing to pay vs losing him for a comp pick. After this year, he's a free agent.

As long as people keep betting on them, lol. Def not a team for value betting.
