Purdy Just turned 25 years old. Yep thats it, 25. He wont turn 26 till December so his best years are still ahead of him. Did they over pay? yes was it a bad move, yes but some of you here wanted to "over pay" for geno just to keep him. I would rather have Purdy than Geno. I think Purdy will be a step better than Geno and 4 steps better for his career but he isn't worth the money he is getting paid. NO NFL PLAYER IS!

Absolutely no one was saying we should give max money to Geno. I think everyone would have been angry if they gave him a 5 year max contract

Purdy's contract is nearly double Geno's lifetime earnings.

Mmm, some folks here wanted to keep Geno (I was fine with it) but I don't recall anyone saying they'd overpay to keep him lol. Most people were fine paying him AROUND where the Darnold contract was.

Overpay never said max money and over paying for Geno is anything over 35.

No they skirted around the money issue when people brough it up with things like " What other option do we have?" then bashed any OTHER options people brought up. Lol you "DON'T" remember that?

Maybe I was just ignorant to it. I remember folks wanting to resign him because "What other option is there?" but I don't remember overpaying him being part of that.

I was ok with keeping Geno on another deal if the high water mark never got above about 13% of the cap. Just throwing out a number like "35" doesn't mean much unless we know what the cap is. $35M is a lot less if the cap is $350M than if it's $270M. It goes up around 8%/year, and that matters.
