This was discussed in the Boutte thread yesterday I think. The NFL seriously needs to adopt an NBA style cap limiting how certain players are allowed to get paid. But they are two far gone at this point. We wouldn't be where we are currently at had they initiated this years ago.

I’ve been confused by alot of deals but this one truly had me puzzled

Here's the thing: when healthy Watson is the real deal. The Problem is he's Never Healthy: the Pack really rolling the dice here. Look at what Alec Pierce got very similar players but Pierce have been relatively healthy. That year I wanted the A-Hole nobody here wanted George Pickens: he turned out to be the Best WR from that Draft. You could see his Greatness on tape. Sad we choose Tyquan Thornton over Pierce and Pickens. IF Christian Watson can stay healthy the sky's the limit he's still in his prime.

Right now $20-25M is AAV for a #2 WR. Tee Higgins is getting 4/$115M. True #1's are getting upward of $35M AAV.

AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs are relative bargains.

Personally, I would never throw that much money on shiny toys/Divas.

Packers drafted Doubs and Watson in the same year... let Doubs go for a 4 year/$68M deal with the Patriots... only to give Watson a 4 year/$110M deal... except, Doubs has more receptions (202 vs 133), more yards (2424 vs 2264), and more TDs (21 vs 20) than Watson. Doubs has also been more durable (59 games played vs 48).

Not sure I understand this one... I guess you could say Watson is slightly more "explosive" because his yards per reception is a little higher, but his production is overall lower and he's less available, yet somehow got paid 60% more money than Doubs, and is now making roughly as much as AJ Brown.

No wonder Boutte wants a trade to show his skillset before free agency.

Some players are worth it.

It’s probably a mistake.

$110m is misleading. Only $31m in guarantees. Plus it doesn't go into effect until next year so the Pack are holding him to $5.75 this year. Average over the next 5 years is a little over $23m AAV.
