Commanders appear to be aiming for the Salary Floor as well.

That’s crazy. No way he is worth that.
The league is getting closer and closer to the point where top dollar guys hurt the team.

Draft is becoming more and more important by the minute.

3/$60M for Mafe to the Bengals. $20M AAV.
4/$100M for Oweh to the Commanders. $25M AAV.
4/$120M for Phillips to the Panthers. $30M AAV.

Absurd.

Pats could have afforded any of them, obviously did not feel compelled to overpay.

30 million for Phillips is the most egregious. That's why the Panthers are gonna Panther.

$20M for Mafe almost as bad. Dwindling production.

Oweh I can understand, I thought $22M AAV was possible.

Market out of control.

80 for Phillips

68 for Oweh

Mafe?

If I’m NE, I make every GD one of the 11 picks. Cost control has never been more important than now

That’s why they were so fast to sign Jones. Crazy deals, I’m glad they aren’t being stupid.

Hendrickson is easily going to get $30 million a year or more. Maybe upwards to $35 million a year.

Don't be so sure.

All the DEs signed so far today are under 30, most well under 30.

He is going to be paid. He just isn't getting the length of the deals others got.

Seems I may have been low-balling things when I said that Chaisson could receive 15-17M AAV. If Paye can get $16M and Oweh $25M then I expect Chaisson to land somewhere in between..
