Theres nothing horrible about locking up your star, proven QB. Homegrown at that. Sometimes you actually have to pay good players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that its the size of the total deal, not the way its dispersed? In your mind he makes 45 mil the first season, 10 the next he'll hold out? Really thats what you believe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad2coles Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 36 minutes ago, FidelioJet said: First off, he's not going to play for that price... Second, Cheap for him or not, the Jets don't have the talent to support his current contract regardless of how it compares to Dak's...Let alone what he's going to demand. It'll be something like - I'll only agree to this trade (as he has a no trade clause) if we redo my contract. and whatever team is desperate enough to give up 4 first round picks will pay the $40mm per. NO WAY he plays for $10mm...It's just not going to happen. Do you need to believe all of the BS you post to not want Watson on the Jets, or are you hoping you are reaching different audiences with different types of nonsense? Like the over 55 Jets fan will not want Watson bc he's paid too much, but the college-aged Jets fan will worry that he'll hold out? How does this work in your head? Because there has been ZERO talk that Watson would demand a new contract from the team that gives up a haul to trade for him and the value of his current contract is in line with Dak's, it's just that the Texans are on the hook for a good portion of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Watson’s contract was $156 over 4 years. Pretty much the same. He’s playing for $10M because it was an extension on his rookie deal. Whereas Dak signed straight up because his previously contract expired. I can’t see Watson asking for more money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody operates like the Steelers operate, so I don’t think they’re the franchise you can point to and say, “let’s just do that,” but the fact remains that they landed an elite QB and were able to build around him even as his salary exploded.

nycdan Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I am really surprised. KC's deal with Mahomes looks like the bargain of the century now that DAL is paying Prescott the same thing. Jerry just can't let his toys slip away. I don't see how they will be able to afford to put enough talent around Dak to challenge for the trophy and Dak isn't Patrick in that I don't think he can carry a team that isn't loaded. We'll see. The side story to this is I wonder how long until Deshaun Watson realizes his shiny new contract isn't market value anymore. I wonder if trading for him is no longer as good a deal as it was yesterday and if that will affect the trade value. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial feel as well, but I can see where they are coming from. They were pretty much non=competitive without him. That said I think they were mostly competitive with him because his salary allowed him to be surrounded by talent and a Top 3 OL. I could definitely see there being a lot of "what's wrong with Dak" articles around midseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam induced rigidity! That was Sam's 2nd best game ever and it came in his triumphant return from mono. Man we were believers back then after that game. The next week was the Monday night Ghost game. We said he was still weak from being sick, nothing to worry about... but now we know better... he just teased us with brief unsustainable flickers just like Sanchez and Geno did. Sam was never consistently good. Not in college, not in the pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not playing for $10mm next year. you forgot his signing bonus of 5.4 mil. so hes making 16 mil. he will play for it and you know why? cause he just signed this 6 months ago. if he had a problem with it then he should have said something. plus half the QBs in the league will make more than him in 2021, again a fact he knew when he signed, but Zack Prescotts contract will send him over the edge and demand a new one? not likely. and then in 2022 he will make 40.4 mil and 42 mil in 2023.
