Listen I'm not bullish on either Kraft or Mayo just yet, I've also been a vocal hater of Kraft, but this was simply a lackluster FA class. Unfortunately, lackluster does not mean it sidesteps the premiums of free agency.
I don't want the organization to spend money and go balls to the wall...
I feel like this just makes my point though.
A huge contract is the price for being a flailing team (and that's a team with DHop). I feel like that's the evidence right there lol. To say players don't think about other things is silly.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying I disagree with...
I said it the other day - I forget who it was, Groh or Wolf, but they said something to the effect of "players don't think about that as much as fans do" in regards to where a player would enjoy being, suggesting it was really just money.
It was the biggest deflection of that press conference...
You're not wrong, I guess I'm more or less trying to highlight how there are many other avenues where the money is made up (different taxes), and where it effects other areas (public services that then get privatized, infrastructure, etc.).
Just a lot of things outside of income tax for anyone...
And another way that revenue is accounted for is decreasing quality of public services, from schools to roads. Which ushers in the discussion of looking for districts with public education alternatives, which brings up feelings around public/private Ed, etc.
But either way, to your point, it...
You do realize that states without income tax invariably have that taken out elsewhere, right? Some it's property tax, some it's sales tax (which ****s over lower class more, but that's another discussion), etc.
Higgins is a borderline WR1 that excels as a 2. He can play 1 for a few games if your top wide out is injured, but even then it was with a great QB.
He is a luxury that pays its dividends if you already have a top wide out.
He's much better suited on a team like the Browns around that talent. Jeudy is good and can create a mismatch if he isn't WR1. I think he'd be tasked with too much here.
I also think people overrated him. He's good but gets a lot more drool than I think deserved.
I'm not sure what year it started happening, I want to say the first ludicrous contract I remember was Flacco w/ the Ravens, but it was one of those monster contracts where I was felt like the concept of building a competitive "middle class team" was going to become more and more impossible, as...
As a person who indulges in dr-*ahem*..... As a person who has a friend that indulges in some recreational drug use, it was never a gateway to gambling. I dunno if the inverse would be true, but I do think it's just as hazardous in most conditions and it has introduced a bunch of ****ing...
Two things are true for me:
I don't want Jones
&
I don't want the Patriots making bad decisions just to avoid having Jones be the starter.
The second part may seem obvious but I think with what's on the table this offseason, from draft to FA, there's a lot of ways to completely **** up a...
Seeing as he recently clarified it with "well, not all in one year, we gotta be smart," I think you're prolly correct.
On the HH note: he could be looking to "have more fun" with his last contract, aka, playing for the Patriots requires a premium on his end.
I know Groh came thru with the...
