      No, that’s not how it works. Owners want you to think it works that way, but it doesn’t.
      Teams, like any business, will *always* maximize their revenue no matter how much they pay their employees and they will always pay their employees as little as they can while still maximizing revenue.
      They charge so much for tickets and concessions because there are enough people willing to pay that much. It’s just supply and demand.
      The owners would charge a lot even if the players weren’t paid at all.
      So the players collectively bargain to get the biggest cut of the revenue they can get.
      The players union has also agreed to let the owners vastly underpay younger players so veterans can be overpaid, but that’s a different issue.

      Sorry bud that is total BS - per Spotrac Jettas is 3.33% of the Vikes 2024 salary cap, and 5.6% of the estimated 2025 salary cap. (And their QB Darnold is about 2%, and McCarthy should be about the same another 2%).
      Let's not play guessing games beyond that. We just saw the entire analytical community get this year's cap wrong be about $12m or 5% and that was the current year.

    The whole Malik thing was absolutely made up. The national takes on JJ and Cousins have been consistently wrong. The Vikings have said throughout that JJ was going to get paid and he did. They also had a plan to draft a QB in this class for two years and they let Cousins go and picked a QB in round 1 and got a 1st round edge too while still keeping next year’s 1st.
    Doesn't matter who is throwing JJ the ball, he is HOF bound. All the stories that came out that said otherwise were all just wishful thinking by the rest of the league and fans of other teams.

      Looks like it should. Jefferson just made the Lions first two picks in the 2024 draft and that probably won't help.
      Jefferson is averaging nearly 200 yards against that Lions D, even with Nick Mullens throwing him the ball...

Moreover, who's to forbid a team, say the Dolphins, to pay Tua twice as much as the CHiefs pay Mahomes? Dolphins ar fre to manage their cap as crazily as they see fit! So it's up to each GM to determine how much he should pay a player relatively to what he brings to the franchise (on and off the field), regardless of what other players bring to their respective teams.

    Rich, Rich, Rich: people who have success like this do so because: they are very talented, they usually have great health, they play with other fine or even great players, usually have very fine QB's and are part of a system that fits them well. When one player gets a contract like this in the Salary Cap Era, the team is hampered in having the pieces around him to succeed as well. He is a terrific player, but let's see how he does under this contract.
    Another trend that I see is the production contracting because of trying to live out the contract. With all of the guaranteed money that Justin is getting, that will probably NOT happen with him. He will try to do his best, I would guess!
    An example of a team suffering like this was the Seahawks. They didn't want to lose the players that got them the Super Bowl. They just couldn't afford to keep them all and pay everyone else anything like they deserved to get. And they were not the same team after Russ finally got off of his third round draftee's contract.

    I feel like the Dolphins are in a tough spot now. With the Hill and Waddle contracts already at $60m+ combined, and having to probably pay Tua $50m+, no idea how they will manage that. At least the Vikings have Addison on a rookie deal, and a cheap QB (Darnold this year for $10m, and JJ on a rookie contract). The real interesting thing to me is, they did NOT front-load this contract like I expected they would, and actually increased cap space for this year. Maybe some more moves to come?

Which is why I don't think anything gets done until next offseason. It doesn't make sense for a franchise to guarantee a guy $125million plus who is one broken play away from retirement until you absolutely have to.
