This is why it’s so smart for the Lions to sign their stars to early extensions. The longer they wait, the more expensive it will be. Every. Single. Time.
Depends what you mean. They pay a lot, by avg-family standards, in terms of absolute dollars. But typically pay a much smaller percentage of their wealth than poorer people. Which I’d say is the more relevant measure.
The best part is looking at that list and asking yourself who is unquestionably better than ARSB? It’s not an easy comparison because most of the big money guys are outside receivers who are going to have more yards per catch simply by the nature of the routes they run. When I consider our man’s ability to keep drives going by attacking the middle of the defense and his TE level blocking the price becomes an absolute steal. If an outside receiver gets a 75 yard TD while ARSB makes 3 catches for 40 yards and the TD on a 75 yard drive has he contributed less because he didn’t get the whole thing at once? I don’t think so.
