I get they are not this simple.
Yet that is exactly what a good agent is going to use as the benchmark.
certainly guaranteed is more important than APY.
He can use it, sure. But there's not some judge that gets to decide a final number or anything. He's under contract and without anywhere near the number of years Geno has in the NFL.
Geno's tenured and since LV's coach knows exactly what they're getting out of him (low risk), I'm sure they already had some general number amounts in mind before any trade happened.
Brock's situation is completely different and unique, actually. Can be seen as a high risk/high reward situation. When you make him automatically better than whatever players u so choose, you've obviously put all your chips in towards the "high reward" scenario.
The 49ers know better than any of us just what level that risk is if we're talking longterm contract RIGHT NOW for Purdy,...and that'll be reflected.
There is no "bad look for the 49ers" for the franchise given his '24 year, as I've heard that alot of analysts out there would be nervous about going to far for a player that still has alot to prove. And even if there was,...if they dont wanna take the high risk of a bloated contract, then that's simply their choice.
The owners colluded to come up with this "Franchise Tag" thing for exact scenarios such as this one.
