Imo, he's giving us the sweetheart deal now, it's the contract of a century. We gotta capitalize.
His agent is an advisor… he's not the boss. No agent likes team friendly deals and yet they happen. No player with a competent agent isn't fully aware they are giving a discount when it happens.
Agree otherwise though.
What some don't seem to understand is that a "lesser contract" or "team friendly contract" doesn't mean he signs for $20M a year. Lol
there are a ton of ways he can structure his contract to make it great for him and the team. Signing a huge contract doesn't mean you're getting all of it - would you rather signs 5 year 500M with $200M guaranteed or a 5 year $400M with $300M guaranteed?
i personally think the market will be around $70M a year for a top tier QB when he is able to resign and I hope he signs for like $58M-$60M and gets nearly his entire contract guaranteed. Does a triple bonus structure.
some of these guys on here think taking a team friendly deal means he takes half of what he can get or something ridiculous like that.
there WILL be cap casualties eventually. He will eventually have to carry more of the load. We eventually will be in a situation like KC & Buffalo where our weapons are super inexperienced or average cause we can't pay top of the market to all the positions, like we are now.
we have the highest paid (or near) FB, RB, TE, WR, LT, DE, MLB, DT (twice). Only way to sustain anywhere near that is if Brock doesn't eat up an insane part of the salary cap. So hoping he doesn't do it isn't dumb? It's moronic to hope he does. Lol
here is a scenario - we pay Brock this off season (hypothetically). Guess what, our new number two is jennings or Ronnie bell. Imagine a player like Ronnie bell being depended on at this stage in his career. Jennings is an awesome third option, not first or second. These are the kind of scenarios we will start running into at multiple positions as we try to find ways to fill them on the cheap side. Since it's all we will be able to actually pay. We just have to hope we keep drafting all stars all the time. Which would be great but risky af.
