I'm expecting $60M a year but $50M a year would be great.
would you take less money so your company could be more productive?
I wouldn't.
The difference is if his company is more productive he will be more likely to get paid again in 5 years, and if he wins a SB he will get even more sponsor deals. He shouldn't have to take a discount, considering the number of mediocre QB's who have done nothing in the playoffs getting paid 55+ mil, but hopefully he is smart about looking down the road and considering what will allow him to make even more.
Fair enough.
Just don't think it's fair for fans to be demanding he take less to build a team around him.
A team friendly contract is no guarantee they will do the right thing with the "savings"
Trevor and Dak really screwed the market up for teams.
Yea. It's a tough situation. I don't think he owes it to the team to give a friendly deal but what 99 says is also correct. He will ultimately earn more if he is more successful and theoretically he would be with more $ to spend on the players around him. But it all depends on if this front office can make the right FA decisions. I wouldn't say they've done a good job in free agency the last few years.
The fa thing is so stupid to me. You build an elite team through the draft. If you literally have to buy your team in fa, it's not going to be any good
First of all, FAs are rarely elite talents in their primes. Hargrave was supposedly the top guy when we signed him. Higgins is the top wr this year. You aren't going to be great by getting into bidding wars and overpaying for these guys
Not only that, but you aren't going to land all the FAs you want. They make their own decisions. Throw your qb away for more money and now you have no future. Nobody that cares about winning wants to sign with you
Adding cmc gave this illusion that we were strong because of Brock's cheap contract, but the truth is the roster has deteriorated. You build through the draft or you don't have a team, period
