NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Now that deal seems like paying a guy for what he did and not what he can do anymore.

Until you look at the details.

 

[shopson67]

More likely Russ.

Darnold or Rodgers

 

[shopson67]

All the top qb’s got paid…unless I am missing something. Maybe someone gets new money kinda like Allen did. He was already extended but they added on a couple years for more money. Is apy is higher now

That's less than $60M per, which Dak is already getting for 2025. 6/330 is 55 per, even with Burrow/Love/Lawrence. Josh's cap hit for 2025 is now $44.7M. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the contract is laid out.

You left out oft-injured and broken. Still hurts as I am definitely a Kupp fan.

Adams isn't getting 30M. His cap hit for 2025 I believe is $14M (8m base plus 1/2 of the 12M signing bonus), more or less.

Maybe I’m mistaken but I thought that was the cap hit pre-extension as well. This extension didn’t open up cap for 2025?

More guaranteed then…

Nice deal the way it is laid out. $14M cap hit in 2025 and they have an out next year. I didn’t think it was great initially but not bad for one year essentially

Perhaps, tough to tell with Spotrac not fully updated.

 

[dtgold88]

Thought he wanted a stable QB situation?

Like most everyone else he wanted the money and Steelers gave it to him.

Yep.

 

[dtgold88]

Total lack of continuity. Like why the fuck did Gayle and okepka leave lol

And then they add Meechie back and he bitches out

Honestly didn't even know what happened just knew he was not playing. what happened (to Meetchie)?

Don't want Holtman back but most guys stayed and he could recruit. Maybe it's time for a more prolonged search?

 

[dtgold88]

Browns ruining the market for everyone.....again.

oh well...glad have an owner who is willing.

cry more though.

 

[dtgold88]

and since willing to admit if I'm off base I did and now doesn't look as bad. Now go back to crying about Myles deal for those poor teams/owners.

It's always good to have an owner who will spend...but he may want to consider who he's spending on. He gave that fully guaranteed contract to Watson and it hasn't exactly worked out.

Garrett might be worth that money, but I wonder how much that may affect other potential moves.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Snyder was always willing to spend. That wasn’t his problem.

Doesn’t matter if you spend on the wrong guys.

Not saying Garrett is the wrong guy. He is great. But that is a lot of money to pay a defensive lineman.

It wouldn't be talked about if it wasn't for the Watson deal. That killed the FO and owners' reputation. They would have more money, more cap space now and in the future. That move tore down every good move they made. The only way to recover is for them to basically do a 180 and then draft their franchise QB in the near future.

I didn't like the Diebler hire at all. Too knee jerk and the whole team damn near left anyway lol.

Meechie saw Juni was better than him and he is sitting out like a bitch.

Hindsight obviously you undo that Watson deal if able......but pretty much every team wanting to win and needing a QB went after him. The fully guaranteed aspect is so overblown. I mean, would still be a bad deal if 80% guaranteed. I'd guess whoever got him was going to need to up it to that or close to that %.

Garrett? Haven't seen but guessing one of those deals that's for minimum in year one (or maybe even redid to help this year). a shit ton so sure at some point will affect cap. I didn't even hate idea of trading him if we got what we wanted. Just didn't like Myles' approach. Clearly FOS when he said he wont extend.

It is...but just a few mil more than the next guy, isn't it?
