Yall ever let this play in the background and not listen to a single word anyone says sometimes 🤣
I listen while I'm at work and ill have to replay videos cuz I'm so zoned out the whole yime
Doing chores I have this on in the background
All the time man. Sometimes I wonder why If it's a healthy thing to do to our brains
I thought that was the point of sports talk.
@@cclayster-qy1cfADHD club unite. For about 30 seconds before we get distracted.
Its the Rich Eisen show for a reason.
The dumbest part of this convo is that Trevor's cap hit stays below 10% until 2027(where it climbs to 11% of the total est cap). This is why you sign your QB early. You can stretch the new money over the final 2 years of the rookie contract. He sells jerseys and tickets. The owners will make their money on him. Even if he's league avg over the next 4 seasons, theres no damage done to the team's ability to build around him. If he plays like a top 10 QB, he's a certified bargain by 2026. We're all out here making fun of Jerry Jones for dragging his feet and ruining his cap when it comes to paying his players on their 2nd & 3rd contracts, but then we trash the Jags for avoiding that very situation. Also it's worth noting that the Jags built a bad rep when Coughlin came back to oversee the football operations. They had to avoid this contract drama.
Dude he won't even be the highest paid before the season starts definitely by time it's over
I think QB salaries are getting out of control. Especially when a current mid tier is getting the highest salary in the league just because he's the "next guy up".
There should be a cap within the cap. No single player regardless of position should count for more than 12% of the team cap.
Eh but then you run into issue where players like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow ARE actually worth more than 12% of a team’s cap, but you potentially can’t pay them enough to keep them
@rohanshah7559
Except there's never been a QB not named Mahomes or Brady that's won the SB and accounted for more than 12% of the cap.
@@rohanshah7559 now you have the problem of how to determinate which qb is worth the money or not. How good a qb without a o-line or good receivers?
@jc6059 I guess it’s only one example but Stafford was around 20% of the rams cap when they won in 2022.
@Black4Cook yeah that’s true, but I’m just saying 12% is an arbitrarily low number
Show ain’t the same without you, Rich.
They could win 8 games with it without Lawrence and save 300 million

It’s just as good.
@@DrPhill96We can get you help for your denial, brother.
@@ZP16 - I don’t want what you’ve been sniffing.
Can't wait to see the reaction when Tua's contract comes in higher than Trevor's.
IT will be the downfall of football i swear.
@@johnnyrohrer8870 Nah, the NFL prints money like it's the Federal Reserve.
It's going to be so comical! Dolphins' contract, though, may include a "below 40" clause: Every game you lose when it's below 40, we substract 10 millions from your guaranteed money for the year.
@@jeanfourcadeI feel bad for Miami's senior mgmt. Tua is a limited qb who relies heavily on coach mcdaniel. No afc east division title as long as josh allen is playing. Not good against winning or playoff teams. Can not win road games under 40 degrees. Tua is not very mobile. What will miami do?
The dude in the green jacket hit the full spread of stupid takes
I'll bite: Yes the Jags had to get the deal done, because if they waited another year or two the sum might have been $75M/yr...this is getting the deal done before rate gets higher later...
But what if he really underperformed this year. Why not let him earn it because he's been super inconsistent. He holds the record of most int throwed in first 3 years.
They didn’t have to overpay him. They should have given him a lesser contract and if he didn’t like it. Allow him to talk to other teams. Then trade him.
Bulloney- He’s just an overpaid Kirk Cousins or Daniel Jones until he proves differently.
He’s part of the Mediocre QB sqaud that has some physical talent.
Herbert should NOT have gotten paid that much either.
Dak has done MORE and HE should NOT get paid as much as Burrow / Mahomes, etc.
There’s probably 5 or 6 QBs that have ACTUALLY proven that they can get the job done in the playoffs. Everyone else should be making Kirk Cousins Money at BEST.
What if Trevor sucks next year and then there stuck like the giants with Daniel jones
@@Nottotv He hasn't even thrown as many interceptions in three years as Peyton Manning threw in his first two. And I'm not a Trevor Lawrence fan.
Just because you're a starter doesn't mean you pay them top of the market. How about pay them what they're worth?
It seems that this has unfortunaly been a lost concept. People are looking at this like the stock market instead of looking at the actual valuation of a player
In free agency trevors taking home more than this.
10k a month and 50$ for every passing yard
Which is?
The Browns started this with that insane guaranteed contract they gave Deshaun Watson. That was only a couple years ago, and since then QB salaries have gone from mid $40mil to mid $50mil per year.
Both things you said are not correlated. The Browns deal lead to players getting more guaranteed money which is good if you are pro worker. The 2nd part with total pay is basics economics of the NFL. Players and agents know the NFL is making record profits. They then ask for increased pay.
Just imagine how much money the NFL is making smh
@spiceworldgaming according to some sources it is approximately 20Billion in 2023.
@@itsgingervitis69hope this sunder ticket trial screws them over tbh
@@itsgingervitis69 My point was that the Browns started the trend of paying outrageous money to a QB that hasn't done anything yet. Rewarding them with a massive contract for no reason. And that became the new benchmark for pay, when it shouldn't have been.
i really don't get the "just find another qb lol" argument
jags haven't had a franchise guy since david garrard, what makes you think that they'd find another so easily
what makes them think this absolutely mid guy is HIM?
Apparently there’s a tree full of them to pluck lol
@@Mgranadosv what made the chargers think herbert is him? what will make the dolphins think tua is him?
they should've just let em walk if better qbs are this easy to find
I think to an extent that's the point though. It doesn't really make sense to throw "all in" money to a QB that isn't making your team a contender. Invest in making a more complete team and weapons and look for the younger, cheaper QB is a better alternative. Somehow the NFL has gotten away from giving average QB's average contracts and building the team all around and that's why we're here.
@@duck_in_gamestop the Phins don't think Tua is him. The Chargers are always making mistakes.
Brad Holmes is looking smarter every week that passes. 3 big signings... All for "the most". A month later. All saved money. Brilliant.
that's why he was executive of the year last season and about to make it 2 in a row.
Just wait one more year. That deal is gonna be a freaking bargain and a half dude. Even as a bears fan, I gotta love Holmes.
Goff can go either way and any second - we’ll see if it’s smart after another 2 seasons
Holmes will be a genius after the Lions win the SB this season…
@@Jaguar32x I see you’re a jags fan. Pretty sure we’re happy with our QB… see you in the playoffs?
it's amazing how small the difference in talent might be between a starter and a backup, but the backup is earning less than 2% of that starter's salary.
Brockman needs to understand that its WAY easier to get worse at QB than it is to get better than Trevor Lawrence. I dont think T Law needed to be top of the market, but he needed to be 50+ million
Nope he’s done Jack so far. He’s Jones, Mayfield, Cousins money based on what he’s ACTUALLY done.
@@DavidC-pg6ni Except, if you dont pay him.. you lose him.. and like I said.. it really easy to end up with a Zach Wilson in the draft. REPEATEDLY
3 years in the league and he has 2 winning seasons (in Jacksonville). One AFC South Title and is 1-1 in the playoffs. He has shown plenty and still hasn’t entered QB prime years.
@@thedoubledowner5359 not to mention his leadership during the Urban Meyer fiasco
@@thedoubledowner5359That's a fact
The two best QBs in the NFL arent even in the top 6 anual salary. Bizarre
Allen n Mahoney? Not even in the top 9 lol
@@havanascp9602 I remember thinking how absurdly large the Mahomes contract was. Now it's genius
Caleb Willams? He’s on a rookie contract.
Cause they set the market when they made their deal…
Supply and demand. The longer you wait to sign a Quarterback, the more it costs. If you don't have a Quarterback, you generally mostly lose until you draft one good enough to build around.
Struggling to understand how Rich can accept market value for QBs but with RBs he can’t do it. It’s all supply and demand
Even more ironic that with all these QBs getting overpaid its going to lead to the RBs to sacrifice even more.
Because you can get rbs that can rush 1k yds on any round n plenty of them. Qbs are hard to find. Wrs is the one I don't understand. But that will change soon.
@@havanascp9602 I might be alone in this but WRs will be next if owners keep overpaying QBs. We see what the Chiefs did without T Hill and we'll see if Diggs is worth it in Houston
@@djturner-smith6380 we're already seeing massively bloated WR contracts
@@havanascp9602Nah, Overpaying crappy to mediocre QBs makes your team WORSE, NOT better.
The thing I think a lot of people are missing with this whole situation is that if Trevor doesn’t take that next step Baalke is getting fired for not surrounding him with the right talent, and Pederson is getting fired for not developing him. Khan is going to bring in an entirely new coaching staff and hire a new GM who will blow up the roster at which point Trevor’s contract and the team’s cap space won’t matter anyway. By the time they’re ready to contend again Trevor will be gone and most of his money will have already been paid. It’s not like there was a scenario where they waited to pay him, he didn’t play well, and Trent and Pederson get to draft a new QB and start over. All three guys’ careers in Jacksonville are directly tied to each other.
Whatever happened to the idea that it's better to have a QB on a rookie deal and building up the rest of the roster?
I agree with you on this, however, the best supporting cast is worthless if your QB is garbage.
All you have to do is look at Cousins. He has received top $$$ for not accomplishing anything in the post season. Cousins is not worth top dollars based on post season success!
Cousins is about to fall out of the top 10 in QB contracts lol
Cousins is worth imo. Least likely QB to drive drunk, sexually assault anyone, curse, or bring any dishonor to the franchise. You're dumb if you think that's not worth millions alone at QB
He has one less playoff win than Lamar Jackson.
@@winstonsyme5899I have no opinion on the actual topic but it's worth pointing out that Cousins has been in the league twice as long as Lamar. Maybe not the most effective comparison.
@@bootlegdouglas
Cousins has been a starter for 2 more years.
The QB position in the NFL is no longer a performance base spot.....it is all about being a starting QB and you get paid, even though you haven't won.....bizarre!!
Mahomes is making all these contracts look ridiculous
Mahommes makes way more from endorsements so it doesn't even matter.
You send the message. I cannot fathom paying these mediocre AT BEST Quarterbacks record contracts. "Market Value" does NOT mean every guy up is due the best contract.
In 2 years and Tier 2 QB's will get 70M and Jax will be sitting there with their dirt cheap QB and cap space to pay the people to help him.
And 4th place in their division.
And no FA wanting to go there cause they have nothing but losing seasons.
@@Mgranadosv we was 500 2 years in a row now behind trevor 8-3 atop of the afc before trevor injury you dont watch jags games dont speak on it
It's really not a bad deal. His cap this year is only like 4 mil, his 5th year option is like 23. So in all it's a 7 year 300 mil contract so it's more like 40 a year
"Market value" and "top dollar" are not the same thing for some guys - definitely not this one
This "next up" way of pay QBs is beyond stupid. It's gonna cost more if you wait but at least you'll know. Lawrence, Herbert, and Tua have all had mediocre careers and yet they're going to get paid because they're up next and it'll be cheaper now? The Chargers are an all-around dumpster fire, Lawrence turns the ball over and has played a lot of solid to bad football, and Tua can't play when it's cold and/or when Tyreek isn't on the field. The Dolphins are an entirely different team when Tyreek isn't out there. More often than not if you pay early you end up in the Cowboys situation... Great regular season, a few 1st round playoff wins, and no conference titles or SB appearances (forget winning it lol) in 30 years. Wait.
Interesting comment. It is hard to figure out how to find a franchise QB and pay him enough money to stay there to win championships. There aren't more Mahomes or Bradys out there that will take less money to build a better team. I do think waiting until the last moment to make a decision like Jerruh doesn't work well at all.
There are only so many elite QBs, especially ones that stay healthy. You need a lot more than just a great QB to have any bit of success, so it's a whole lot easier to just pay the one you have that is used to your system as long as he is top 10ish. Otherwise, you just roll the dice on praying you can draft and develop another QB, who you'd let walk 1-2 years after they develop a bit.
@@markkostka6897 So what you're saying is that Daniel Jones deserves 160M 92 guaranteed over Sequan (who the offense went through, who literally carried them to the playoffs) because he's next up and every other position has to earn it? Again, it's a trash way of doing things. There are other guys who deserve their money and who are better at their positions than the QB.
Y’all looking at the huge number when in reality it’s a team friendly deal for the next two years he’s still basically on his rookie deal no major cap hits!!!
Team friendly for 5
Nah, it’s foolish. He hasn’t done anything that Daniel Jones or Kirk Cousins hasn’t done. Ridiculous amount for a mediocre QB.
@@DavidC-pg6ni can’t explain things to ppl who don’t know any better he’s only making 17 mil a year the next two seasons so actually your comment is foolish
@@dawnstatis1 his cap hit the next 3 years combined is only a few million more than Jones cap hit this year.
@@sithmastermickey8570 that’s what they aren’t getting bro! They are just stuck on the 275 number it’s a great deal for both sides and the team has the room to add more players
Everyone is missing the actual numbers on the Trevor Lawrence pay. The contract doesn't kick in for another 2 years which makes it 275 over 7 years which is more like 40 million a year. In line with your average run of the mill quarterbacks
Look at the cap hits. Over the next 5 years Lawrence has an average cap hit of $27.6 million compared to Burrow at $46 million. After that they can cut Lawrence with no dead cap or give him a new deal.
That's because he still had 2 years left on his rookie contract
Don’t give them facts they won’t be able to show their faux outrage even though Trevor’s real money doesn’t kick in for another 4 years.
5 MORE Years of mediocrity! Whupdie Doo.
He’s only accomplished what Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield did. Pay him less or make him play out his contract.
@6foot7natiboy but they increased the cap hit those years so the cap hits later aren't as big. After the 5th year he has no guaranteed money left and the deal will be redone. And Burrows 5 years include one of those rookie year deals also. It's a difference of about $90 million over 5 years in cap hit, that's not because of 1 year.
@DavidC-pg6ni he's 24 and was drafted to the worst team in the league, with an all time worst head coach. Since he's had a real head coach he went 9-8 with a playoff win and started 8-3 last year before he got hurt. Was 15-5 over his last 20 regular season games before he got hurt playing for one of the worst franchises of the last 2 decades.
It's also about sending a message to the fanbase that management is committed to building a winning team. Management is also concerned with filling stadium seats, TV appearances and TV ratings.
Jags need an O line
It’s so insane that nobody is talking about this. They are just lazily hating Trevor
@@crs092 well we did swap out Luke Fortner for Mitch Morse, which is huge IF Mitch stays healthy.
I love people criticizing Purdy because he’s in the perfect position with great talent all around him, yet SF's number 3 overall QB pick in the 2021 draft is a backup now. Obviously, not just anyone can run SF's offense.
That was just racism. Trey Lance got screwed.
There are people who actually think that....
If Trevor’s resume deserves this passionate of a defense of a market-setting contract, then where was the outrage when Baker Mayfield not only did not get paid, but got the unceremonious stanky boot out of town the next year? His resume was actually better than Trevor’s, and his final year in Cleveland had the same issues with the playing through an injury. I guess one difference is that while the Jags may not be the most well-run organization, they aren’t the dumpster fire that is the Cleveland front office.
Here's my thought: not every contact has to be the record breaker. If you offered TL the same deal the Lions gave JG... He'd still be overpaid. However, you would have another three million to pay other pieces of your team. And if your QB is such a diva that he needs to be the top paid in All of Football over seeing the roster as a while get better, then yeah, he needs to prove it. Everyone has seen cheaper QBs winning and were like, "oh that's the formula" for a decade, but everyone keeps over paying QBs. Only Mahomes has won while having a massive deal recently. $50mil is not a slap in the face like these guys ACT like it is. The rbs have way more to complain about salary wise.
High respect for Rich Eisen. Very balanced response on Trevor
Great point.
Saying brock purdy wont look as good without brandon aiyuk and not seeing how that is exactly the reason why you dont over pay qbs is hilarious 😂
What does "Franchise Tag" mean?
What are the Jaguars fans saying
Rich loves a good overpay😂 chis is the only sane one in this interaction
They didn’t have to. They picked up the 5th year option so there are 2 years left. They could have seen how this year went and given him a contract with 1 year left. It wouldn’t have been seen as disrespect like it did with Lamar
As a Steelers fan, if Trevor had gone to FA, I would want them to do whatever it would take to sign him if our QB situation has not dramatically improved. At least half the league would be interested in signing him.
The contract is a sign of Jax as an organization having Low Self Esteem. Paying Larence huge money guarantees they won't be a laughingstock at the expense of also guaranteeing they won't be winning any Super Bowls.
Trevor is better than your favorite teams QB. Saying he can’t win a Super Bowl is just asinine
@@chaseparker1993 Trevor Lawrence isn't even better than Gardner Minshew. Stop deluding yourself "better than your team's QB", makes you sound like your mom and dad are cousins.
@@Mgranadosv you said “Gardner Minshew” 💀 your football opinion is invalid at this point
💀🤡
Minshew looked and played way better over the same time. Trevor is not that good. Mid at best
Trevor’s contract is 10th highest in percentage of cap at time of signing among active QBs. A lot more reasonable when you consider the circumstances not just the absolute number.
I understand Trevor may needed to be paid but why tied with Burrow and not say give him Herbert money instead.
Purdy led the league in QB rating after blowing out his elbow...AND...missing training camp because of the blown elbow. I expect Purdy to be even better this year.
One player getting 20% of the salary cap.of the 53 man roster is crazy.
I have a question. At the 3:25 mark you show pictures of 6 quarterbacks and how much they are getting paid. How many combined super bowls victories have those quarterbacks led their teams to? Just saying.
Exactly. They’re just paying them so the fans doesn’t go nuts for not having a qb.
I agree with Chris, look at the Boston Celtics. It wasn’t one player that won the series. It was the team and football is a team sport. Salaries are getting out of hand. Hey Rich , you should ask for a boat load of money at your next contract. Because you do a great job. How come other professions don’t do that??
The East being an infirmary might’ve contributed to that
@@MrCleonwarrior They had the best record against the West. I keep hearing how great the west was.....but they sent the Mavs to the finals? Lmfao. Yawn.
Smh...should've tagged him.
yeah the jags should treat lawrence like the redskins did kirk cousins
Brockman just has a personal vendetta against Trevor Lawrence for some reason, but I didn’t hear near this much scrutiny for the Herbert signing from him.
and Lawrence is a year younger and beat Herbert in the playoffs.
Brockman needs to stand down. His organization last paid a QB money in 2000. He’s not in his element, and it’s obvious.
No he’s just using common sense.
Brockman has literally said Herbert didn't earn the contract he got.
Makes Brad Holmes look like a chad for getting Goff at an affordable price
Chris is always worried about other people's pockets and ALWAYS hating on it. He's the absolute worst
My God, Brockman is dense. It's hard to watch this show when he's so stubbornly stupid about QB contracts.
15:35 The Celtic dude's comment!! (whoever he is) ...so funny!!! lol >< loved it
There’s Rich, making all the sense in the world.
Rich is right, they were right to give him this now. Other teams would have thrown $60 million at him. Hes not Daniel Jones and offering him DJ money would have led to him demanding a trade. This will save them money in the long run, keep the locker room stable and by the time this contract kicks in, the cap will be $300 million+.
GREAT SIGNING, NO BRAINER! Trevor Lawrence is the franchise
He’s Daniel Jones or Baker Mayfield or Kirk Cousins. Completely overpaid for what he’s accomplished.
If you're ever in Jacksonville, be careful about criticizing Trevor Lawrence. You could be thrown out of establishments. I found out the hard way last year.
Something else people overlook with Lawrence is he came in and went to a team with back to back #1 picks. And then say “well he hasn’t done anything.”
Btw Chris... Trevor 2-0 vs Josh Allen and Justin Herbert... granted their careers have been better. Both teams have had more pro bowlers AND Trevor got hurt when the team was 8 and 3... I'm not saying he is better then them but he has invigorated this franchise.
If the NFLPA acted like a genuine union, and salaries were slotted, as in QB1 = x million | WR1 = y million and on down the line, the league would be a much better place. But that will never happen because too many others (like agents) would no longer be needed.
That wouldnt be free market
@@mseth2500 True - but the NFL is not a free market. It is a closed organization where compensation is based upon a set percentage of revenue. All that remains is how the pieces of that pie are distributed. Rookies are paid on a pre-determined scale already. No reason the entire roster couldn't be as well. It would ensure the most equitable and balanced distribution of talent across the league (which again, is the purpose of the draft in the first place). As I said prior - it will never happen.
The contracts go up, while the quality of the game plummets.
Had the Jets had the 1st overall pick that year, drafted him and had he had the similar performance in New York, he'd be out of there already. Jags ownership seems content with being mediocre, but having a popular QB
He was playing great until he got hurt last year.
The Jets haven't had a QB under 25 years old with even the talent level of TLaw in 60 years
And all of a sudden people stooped complaining about Kyler Murray’s contract.
Trevor is not good enough for that contract. This will end up being a browns/watson level trade. There are several reasons Brady got his rings. He was NEVER even close to being the highest paid QB in the league so the team could pay other players.
You pay him then you charge your fans $50.00 for a hotdog and a beer
Extending a QB and making him the highest paid in the league that hasn’t proved he’s the guy after 3 years is crazy…
Leave it to a Patriots fan to completely misunderstand why it’s important to lock down a QB if you think he can be a high tier starter.
I agree with Chris. And yes it can backfire. I am a Broncos fan and no one in the world thought signing Russ would backfire and it did
Rich, I’m disappointed in your take. Absolutely no one believes Trevor is a top five QB or even very close. Chris is absolutely right, the Jags did not have to do this. He did not earn it.
I agree with Rich. QB is a position that doesn’t follow the rules. They had to pay him.
I understand that a QB is the “leader” of a team…But some of these QB salaries are ridiculous. How must it feel for the other players who are working just as hard in positions that take a larger toll on their bodies?
I say make them play for their next contract, like Dak and Baker last season. Lawrence is talented, and no doubt a hard worker behind the scenes, but he needs to prove it.
Just couldn't stop laughing when he said more miles to the gallon. Um...ok...
Who would pay Tua?Maybe LVR,MIN,NYG,SEA
Why not come up with a middle ground solution and make contracts incentive based. Eg 40 million base then bonuses for yards, Rd vs int ratio, winning division, wildcard, then wins through the playoffs, conference championship and SB win.
You could take it a step further and say that those incentives do not impact the salary cap which leaves more money for other players.
The Browns fucked the market with the Watson deal and now the Jags did it again.
Real football fans understand this was the right move for their organization.
You said it Rich..."they placed their bet". Some bets are good bets based evidence and history. This is not one of them.
I get the impression that many teams make bets on their players for things not directly related to performance like this one.
I don't run my business like this and I don't know how these owners got so much money in the first place with this kind of punting.
I love the deal as a colts fan.i know colts fans will claim the colts never beat the jags at jags, but jags fans say the same thing. colts are 500 with jags. neither team can win an away game
Your other option is to let him hit the free agent market and see what everyone's willing to pay him and then you know what the market value is for him. That's basic standard operating procedure. I'm not sure when we started going crazy on giving middle of the road people massive contracts but it's killing the NFL
Rich is way off here, the notion that you’ll “alienate the locker room” by not giving 1/53rd of your roster over 20% of the salary cap is deaf
The walk year? Did something happen to the fifth year option? I guess I'm a casual.
That's how it is with amazon get to work😂
The problem is paying more than Market value lol
These players that have to have the highest paid contract compared to other players doom themselves to depression and problems. You get your best contract and then more when you can. When you're constantly unhappy about what you sign you're bound to have problems in your personal life and your career.
So what Mac supposed to do ?
Who would not take Micah Parsons over Trevor? Pay THAT man.
Had Trevor Lawrence not fumbled a couple of times and not forced the ball when he didn't have to, he would have been the top paid player in the league by himself.
This whole argument is a moot point after what Rich says at 1:54 The Jaguars believe he’s their guy and they’re gonna pay him like that. Plus a lot of people are looking at his stats and accomplishments across the league as opposed to what previous JAGUARS quarterbacks have done. The guy is the most talented QB the franchise has had. Obviously they were not gonna play cheap with him
These contracts are insults to the common fan.
Man, y’all really don’t understand comparing Daniel Jones to Trevor Lawrence is like comparing apple to oranges. If you look at the tape, you will see there’s a huge difference. Jaguar fans go to every game thinking we can win with Trevor Lawrence. Giants fans goes into games thinking how bad is your Jones going to be this game. There is a difference.
Pay has to be caped .
Trevor gonna ball out this year
Something rich isn’t willing to accept is that kyren Williams is actually more productive and deserves more than Trevor does but he’s a running back so we won’t talk about it. Especially now that corrum got drafted to the rams
That's a beyond Brockman-level hot take. Resetting the running back market by making Kyren the highest paid RB by a comfortable margin *is* completely reasonable, however. Going after Rich over this is just genuinely bizarre though. Dude was banging the drum for RBs to get payed when they were being colluded against last offseason harder than pretty much the entire rest of mainstream/mainstream-adjacent sports media combined.
I wish it was my salary but its not. If Trevor Lawrences employers deem him worthy of that amount of change? Good for him
Yeah Chris doesn't understand that it is more of a 7 year deal on avg 40 a year, but you know math is hard.
Didn't the Browns basically do what Brockman suggests with Baker Mayfield? Hasn't this scenario already happened?
This man loves the sound of his own voice. Idk how it takes this long to make a simple point. 😅
You pay market value for a hot commodity, if the commodity is cold, you pay what you "feel". If you don't come to an agreement, let them walk; avoiding buyers remorse
