"CeeDee" Lamb says hello.
Great player, but I’m not going to try to list every one, it’s more to give an idea of what I consider elite, and yes, Lamb fits into that category.

I would include Terrel Owens on that list... He single handedly almost carried the 2004 eagles to the title. Guy was a beast.The biggest impact I have seen a receiver have on a Super Bowl was Julian Edelman, against both Seattle and Atlanta, and he’s a slot receiver who made a fraction of these deals. And while you can want a WR over a QB all you want, they don’t win you championships, but quarterbacks do. And in the last two Super Bowls both the Eagles and the 49ers had the clear edge over the Chiefs at WR and the Chiefs won both of them. I wonder why?
The rub is this... If you have a QB on a cheap deal it benefits you to pay the types of guys you want around him (talent). While I believe Mac would have flamed out anyways, we did him no favors in the acquisition of talentPart of it with Ridley is that I just don’t believe in him. I would pay guys like Higgins 20 million, but I wouldn’t go up to 25-30, I think it’s just too much when you consider everything else you need for a great team.
Do the vikings have an elite QB they can pay?I'd rather overpay an elite QB than an elite WR
On the flip side, imagine if the Pats had traded away all of their 1st and 2nd rounders after 2014.If your team traded for and paid Jefferson you’d be looking like the Dolphins right now. Not good enough to win a single playoff game and likely getting worse before you get better.
They just let their single best defender in his prime in Christian Wilkins walk, two of their more productive LB’ers and cut their 4X pro bowl CB just to get under the salary cap. Their defense was ranked 16th last season, they can’t afford to be cutting their best defenders. Their offensive line is also weak.
Bottom line, the Tyreek trade was stupid. They could have used all those picks (1,2,4,4,6) to improve their team and the 120 million they’re paying him is strangling their ability to pay their best players. Now they have to pay Tua, when if they waited Tyreek might have hit free agency anyway.
You don’t trade for a free agent and then pay him, it’s bad business… you’ve paid twice. Draft a WR, draft three… the isn’t hard.
Nope. Only $52.5M which is the highest for all WR's. Jefferson would obliterate that at $75M.I thought they guaranteed the whole thing?
Maybe so, but where would the cash go otherwise? They sure as **** aren't lowering ticket prices. So if the players don't get it, all that cash that's not paying players anymore goes straight to the billionaires.Overall I think WR’s are getting grossly overpaid.
Agree. Overpaying for that is what you do.Yes Brady showed us many times also Mahomes showed us twice but they are both Generation Talents. The odds of getting one of those are very slim to none that's my point.
That is a different question. The other question is should they?Do the vikings have an elite QB they can pay?
Maybe so, but where would the cash go otherwise? They sure as **** aren't lowering ticket prices. So if the players don't get it, all that cash that's not paying players anymore goes straight to the billionaires.
The money wouldn't go inti the owner's pocket if they refused to hugely overpay Jefferson. Perhaps they would use to money on a stud LT, a stud EDGE Rusher or even a CB.Maybe so, but where would the cash go otherwise? They sure as **** aren't lowering ticket prices. So if the players don't get it, all that cash that's not paying players anymore goes straight to the billionaires.
Mahomes has never won a superbowl without a HOF receiving option. Outside of his first superbowl win Brady has had near HOF on the offense to help. 03 and 04 he had Corey Dillon and the Falcons game he Edelman.Yes Brady showed us many times also Mahomes showed us twice but they are both Generation Talents. The odds of getting one of those are very slim to none that's my point.
