Pretty solid guarantee . . . almost as much APY as the exclusive tag (estimated at $45M) and $10M more than two non-exclusive tags $71.3M ($32.4M yr 1 and $38.9M yr 2)
Appears rankings #1 Lamar - only $32.4, but can still negotiate his own deal on the open market. #2 Daniel Jones - $82M guaranteed over two years is solid, curious to see what year three cash due is #3 Derek Carr - $70M/2yr guaranteed or $100/3yr . . . people say that the $50M is just for the agent to pad his earnings, but it is a solid move for Carr, either Carr gets $50M in yr 4 or he is a FA again, able to negotiate with anyone, but needs to have a significant Roster Bonus due in March of 2026. It’s not all fluff for the agent #4 Geno - his contract looks goofy Probably $55M over two years, $20M in year three plus incentives
What does this mean for Goff? I still say, let it play out. If the agent/Goff wants a new deal, give him one. If he want’s to play out contract, that’s fine too.
I’d prefer to do an extension now, adding two years and bonus/guarantee some of his 2023/2024 salary.
Except our last QB was a top 8 QB. It was a catch 22 where he was so good that the chances of replacing himself with something better were so low it made sense to keep paying him until he retired or decided he wanted to leave versus trying to replace him even though he never had a playoff win for us.
Id like to resign Goff but I dont want to overpay for him. I dont care what the Giants paid Jones, you want that money, go sign with the Giants. Goff gets us to the NFC championship game, we can start talking 40m. Otherwise how about 5 years 150m.
Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts and Herbert will all have 50-55MM plus AAV deals signed within 12 months of today….
I think stating the obvious over and over make some posters feel “profound?”
It’s not really about the QB, not to the level you all think.
— Josh Allen has had BY FAR the #1 D in the NFL the past 4 years… there have ONLY BEEN 8 TEAMS SUB 300 POINTS ALLOWED IN THE LAST 4 SEASONS…. 8… The Bills account for 3 of them!!! In fact the Bills have averaged 300 points a year on the button the past 4 years. Literally 132 points better than any other team…. 3 different top 2 defenses…
So with the #1 D, a top coaching staff, a top 3-4 WR, and top 3 QB… why can’t they make the SB?
Jalen Hurts was considered a gimmick or project by mid 2022…. Now he’s a stud? What if he misses 4 games and throws 18 tds next year?
