Yeah, he just got paid 25 for his ex to get roasted. Write a book, it will be a best seller. He has lot of money making opportunities in retirement.
Could of had a lot more. He wouldnt have had to take a job as an announcer.
It's way too high for a player of Goff's talent within the structure of the NFL salary cap. The contract structure is just out of whack. The next QB up (maybe Dak if he signs) will also pretty likely be overpaid if he is not elite just like Hurts, Murray, Watson, etc are all overpaid. Until teams stop giving in and just handing the "next man up" the highest or close to highest contract because it's "their turn", even if they aren't one of the best at the position, it isn't going to stop and this isn't just for QB. The problem is that as soon as an owner tries to take a stand someone else will just give the player what they want.
I don’t think you could. 50+ million is the going rate now for QBs with a market. Goff is a QB that multiple teams would be interested in. This was the price. It is what it is. It’s silly to say the Lions could have gotten him for $40 million. He’s not signing that when if he couldn’t get $50+ from the Lions he would get it from someone else.
You don’t understand value at the QB position in the National Football League. Hurts Murray Watson are not overpaid. That’s the going rate for a team that wants to commit to a QB whether you like it or not. It’s put up the money or quit on him like Trey Lance Justin Fields or Kenny Pickett.
That's a silly comment. I don't think you understand what I am saying. Obviously it is the going rate and that's the problem. The "next man up" doesn't necessarily deserves to make more just because it's his turn and in no way is it just based on each individual players value to his team or as a player. The problem is when you pay the same thing for "Hurts, Murray and Watson" that Mahomes is getting it isn't the same thing. If Mahomes is the market setter, those guys should all be well below him. Mahomes is the #9 highest paid QB based on AAV and tied with Kirk Cousins. So, just like It's one thing to say Miles Garrett is worth $25M within the structure of the cap. It's another to say Christian Wilkins is worth $27.5M. In no world is that not a problem.
If you know how to manage a cap it isn’t a problem. The market is the market.
Got it. You didn't understand
I totally understand. I used to think like your post when I was 12. I wanted to be 6’4’’ or 6’5’’. My dad is short and my mom is short. I came to learn about genes and heredity. I realized I had no chance in hell of growing to that height.
Sure, he is now guaranteed about $45 million a year.
Do you want to bet that a year from now or even less that he won't even be in the top 5 paid QB's? Heck, he isn't even in the top 5 guaranteed contracts now.
Just can't admit you were wrong. It's not a big deal, but it's a bad look to try and move the goal posts to guaranteed money in an attempt to keep fighting it instead of just admitting it...Sure, he is now guaranteed about $45 million a year.
