Get over yourself Victor. AB is a fucking legend already, and if you don't know this then go back to school. OBJ, for all his athleticism & glorious feats, will never hold a candle to AB's professionalism & work ethic. There's a reason why AB is compared to the GOAT Jerry Rice. OBJ has a lot to learn if he ever wants to reach that level. AB's name will be permanently etched into the history books whereas OBJ may (or may not) only be a memorial cliff note if he continues to be the prima donna that he . And for that reason alone, OBJ shouldn't be paid more than AB.
I rest my case. But of course Victor being a former teammate doesn't create any bias at all, right? GTFO
He'll likely get paid more, because that's what happens to superstars regardless. Once their contract is due, they get the king's ransom whether the team believes he's better than the tops of his position. But even if he gets paid more, he'll never match AB's production.
The reality is, I think it's like these QB deals, it's a timing thing. Cousins hit it perfectly...top FA in a market where top performing QBs rarely become available. OBJ might end up the highest paid WR.
In terms of a talent...obviously I'm biased to AB...but removing the bias, he's more proven over a longer period of time. OBJ is a great player, but ranking the top 3 for me...AB, Julio and Mike Evans.
