LETS GOOO

 

[Froob]

It was going to be really hard to overpay Barmore unless he really declined. Whatever price you pay now was going to be cheaper than what he’d get on the market

Only $41M in guarantees, "max value" of $92M, for 4 years. This seems like an extremely favorable deal for the Patriots compared to what he'd earn in free agency.

Wolf and co. really have been utilizing low guarantee deals this offseason.

 

[RxJock1120]

YES!!! Second best news of the offseason, behind drafting Maye!!!

So you're saying Kraft is cheap, eh?

J/K, I know you aren't, but I'm sure that's what some will think.

Funny, for a guy so cheap, he sure is giving out some good second contracts.

 

[PWRxWLF]

Well. They’ve proven they have no difficulty getting some big time players to stay, now if only they could convince them to come. Yes, that’s what she said.

 

[PatsFan2]

Hopefully he plays like Quinnen Williams now.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Nice! This is good

I think a decent season this year and possibly a few games with Maye out there at the end of the year to show his potential will go a long way towards that, especially for the free agent receiver class of 2025.

Even just the fact that Maye is rostered. It was one thing to tell free agents this year "we're gonna take a QB", it's another to actually have him.

Players are feeling good these days as they have a chance to get overpaid.

This is going one of two ways:

1. He’s put together back to back good years, makes the Pro Bowl or All Pro and the contract looks like a good deal.
2. He reverts back to his first two years where he was on and off the field and the contract looks like a mistake.

I think it says a lot about what Mayo & Wolf are building that none of these guys are running for the hills. They all want to stay.

I think NE is a mystery for free agents right now: a new coach, a new GM (who isn't a GM), a new OC, a rookie QB (who is behind a vet QB who never did much), and few playmakers on offense. Give that a year or two and I think agents will feel differently about sending their clients to NE.

That’s the worry, right? Goes back to having nagging injuries, reduced snaps, low motivation. If he can turn in some more seasons like last year though? What a ****ing deal!!

NFL won't see true over-payment till there are fully guaranteed NFL contracts, and IMO that will never be allowed again.

We know for sure Goodell's sphincter slammed shut when he saw the Watson contract.

His job is to protect the owners in every way, including from themselves, and he failed.

We saw that no one made a run at Lamar Jackson, Park Avenue put the kibosh on that.

NFL loves the amount of control they have over key talent and they're never going to willingfully give it up.

Agents love the big splashy numbers, so we now have this system of 'guarantees' that aren't 'guaranteed'.

Agents get to look good, players don't seem to know the difference, but at the end of the day it's the owners who are raking it in.

It's all a part of the fecal soup that is the modern NFL.

This is reflected in the lower guarantees I think. Half the guaranteed money is likely in a year 1 guaranteed salary, the other half in a signing bonus, so he becomes un-cuttable in 2025 but after that the salaries aren't guaranteed so if he reverts back then they are looking at $10-15M in dead money depending on when they cut/trade him.
