Only half of Jones was guaranteed. About 70 percent for Gino, Seattle didn’t have to go that high.

Is he though? Way early to declare that. It’s understandable to say that Watson has to shake off the rust because he didn’t play for 2 years to explain away a mediocre 5 game finish to the season. It may have just been working out the kinks. Or he’s not the same guy he was 3 years ago. It remains to be seen.

Daniel Jones got a 4 year deal worth 160 mill, more than Carr.

Giants, QB Daniel Jones agree to 4-year deal

Last season, Jones threw for 3,205 yards with 15 touchdown passes and five interceptions. He also rushed for 708 yards and seven TDs.

Yikes.

I told you so, lol.

Ravens drafting a QB this year if the pick and player is right?

top 4 will be gone already, doubt anyone else is an impact player

Daniel Jones and Geno Smith didn't cost picks on top of that money.

A little more...not a lot. But, NY may regret that.

That’s because of accounting shit to manipulate the cap. For all intents and purposes, Mahomes is a $45 million dollar a year QB and Jones is a $40 million dollar a year QB based on their contacts. That is crazy enough. Shit like this just embellishes.

Mahomes overall got $5 M more a year and $60 M more guaranteed. 5 more years too. It’s pretty likely Mahomes got $290 M more than Jones.

Additionally, that Mahomes deal likely gets restructured some 3 or 4 times over the next few years.

And even though only about 35 % was guaranteed Mahomes is out there playing hurt winning championships.

Possible, though whether it should be or not is up for debate.

With a 10 year contract. Did he play with a compromised knee on the last year of his deal?

He signed it in 2020. I was referring to this year playing hurt.

It’s the way the cap manipulation game gets played. You use the QB and other big ticket items to kick the can down the road. Brady and the Pats showed everyone how that game gets played.

I’m giving you the respect of neither of us insulting the others intelligence. Your post about Mahomes was a poorly cloaked dig on Lamar. So I asked if Mahomes was in the same spot…playing on the last year of his deal and risking his career on a compromised knee. Mahomes was drafted in 2017. First round picks get a 5 year deal to work with and their teams can choose to renegotiate ahead of that. KC committed to Mahomes and Mahomes committed to them. These things are very different from the Jackson situation.

I stated facts, which since you mention it you have no idea about in the Jackson situation. I’ll give you some, Lamar was offered a MUCH higher percent of guaranteed money than Mahomes got. It’s not close.

Did Mahomes choose to play a playoff game on a compromised knee on the last year of his deal?

That’s the fact that’s important.

Not important at all honestly. He actually might have had he been in the same situation but it doesn’t matter because he wasn’t completely unreasonable in contract negotiations. I wonder how many more teams will announce today they are out on Jackson? A couple more I bet.
