NFL News Lamar back in BAL

[SHOWTIME15]

Naw, its got a 'traditional structure' i.e. back-end loaded, he won't see a lot of that money.

Basically 'traditional structure' is a willy-waving exercise for sports agents.

Unlike Watson's $230M where he'll get every penny of it unless he pervs out again.

$185 M guaranteed

$185 M guaranteed

'Guaranteed' or 'guarantees'?

F*ing agents.

 

[Ross12]

'Guaranteed' or 'guarantees'?

F*ing agents.

Yeah, "guarantees" that won't be triggered if player is not on the roster on X day of X league year, etc etc... big difference...

 

[RodThePat]

I would put Lamar ahead of the overaerated Herbert and Pickett ahead of Mac 10.

Pretty sobering to look at this and realize that the two teams that for sure have starters worse than Mac will both presumably be picking a QB high tonight.

 

[Bill Lee]

big difference...

Especially compared to Watson!

Watson: All $230M fully guaranteed.
Jackson: $45M in funny money, probably more by the time the contract is terminated.

F*ing agents.

Lamar had no agent, he negotiated by himself

Yet they'll probably end up with someone worse than Mac.

 

[RodThePat]

Yet they'll probably end up with someone worse than Mac.

Oh, odds are that at least one of them will, 100%. It's just that they have a very viable avenue towards improving at the position and getting a good player there.

Can anyone care to explain football economy to me? QB contracts seem to surge each year with no end in sight. It seems like every time it does, it's billed as a win for players. But then you hear about how backloaded they are, which seems to obfuscate how much in the player's favor it is, alongside the addition of incentive marks, etc.

I guess my questions would be: Has the QB position always vastly exploded in value each year?

Are these contracts really the players getting their way? Or are they getting played?

Is there a moment where this model has blowback and has to reset?


Would really appreciate anyone who would take the time to offer their input. Contracts, from their history, to how they're nuanced, is hard for me to follow.

It's certainly getting bizarre in this era of the NFL you can get injured and get rewarded with a lot of money.

 

[Real fan 02]

Let the Patriots rebuilding continue and as some Patsfans would say Lamar still sucks. I sure wish we had Drafted him.

Oh but no... there was so much value in Sony, and joejuan Williams... and future HOF harry.. lol

It's said in sports you get paid off what you did, and what the team thinks you'll continue doing going forward

Just wait until it's Mac's turn 300Mill Tops.

Lol,

*Sees notification that someone has quoted my post, gets excited to read some good explanations*

*Sees actual post*

Goddamn PatsFans2, don't do me like that! Lol.

In my opinion it seems to be a combination of the cap raising exponentially higher and higher every year, with projections for even greater growth in future years, plus QB talent becoming worse. There are fewer “great” QBs than there used to be so the good ones (or even just the ones that have a chance to be good) are getting paid handsomely. Supply & demand. There’s a short supply, a huge demand, and even more money every year.

 

[Pape]

5 years, 260 million... I could work with that

 

[PatsFan2]

Just wait until it's Mac's turn 300Mill Tops.

Going to be a bargain I tell you.

So apparently, the Patriots are not in on Lamar Jackson?

Oh how can this be? The Patriots let another one slip thru their fingers. Whatever will we do?
