Bills just signed their DT 7% of the cap

This would be a compelling argument if the cap didn't go up every year.

10 % of the cap in today's money could easily be 6 % by 2025

Yeah this is not how NFL math works.

If Q gets what he wants ($30M per season), it would take the cap going up $80M to get under 10%.

Historically, it takes nearly a DECADE for the cap to go up that much.

But sure.  Let's make up arbitrary rules for the do's and don'ts of DT spending.

How arbitrary is it if the REST OF THE NFL does it my way?

The rest of the NFL spends, on average 7.5% of their cap on interior d-linemen. All of them. Combined 7.5%. For Numerous interior d-linemen.

You want to spend 10% on ONE player.

You already tried to make this argument like a week ago

And it’s still nonsense 

Sounds like what someone would say when they can't refute the argument.

Smart teams don't pay interior d-line men 10%+ of the cap. They just don't.

I hope the Jets will not follow anything the buffalo bills are doing.  That teams has never won anything.

I bet the Chiefs wont pay 10% of their cap to Chris Jones either.

He is at 12.83% right now.

You're looking at 1 single year, not the contract average.

Teams front load and backload deals all the time. We are talking about over the whole average of the contract what is the %. 

He has ranged from 6% to 14% over the years, but his average is only 8%.

In NFL HISTORY there has only been 1 IDL player EVER who had 10% or more over the course of a contract. In the history of the NFL. All time.

I've researched this so much I could write a dissertation on the topic.

14.5 sacks. In four seasons.

But keep comparing apples to oranges. Makes a compelling story.

How about we compare apples to the apple orchard.

The rest of the NFL? The 31 other teams? They pay their ENTIRE INTERIOR D-LINE UNIT (meaning, all the players combined) 7.5% of the cap on average.

You want to pay ONE player (not an entire unit) 10% of the cap.

Probably. Unfortunately. Stupidly.

Why is paying him market value stupid? Lets instead get rid of him for draft picks that we hope will be as good in 2 years.

Do you know how much better of a player QW is then Ed Oliver?

QW has 191 tackles and  27.5 sacks while Oliver has 151 and 14.5 and thats with QW in this ridiculous rotation we have where he should be playing about 10% more of the snaps then he does.

Paying Oliver $16 for what is basically is basically JFM's production (16 sacks over the same time frame) is more of an overpay then paying QW $24-25 for elite production.

And Qs contract likely will work the same way, will be below 10% first couple of years and increase in the later years.

Just FYI - I pressed the wrong gif. I would never be that rude. I fixed it after I clicked submit.

yeah Q is a great player

No argument there.

The point is, you don't pay interior d-linemen 10% of your cap. You just don't.

What it has been leaked that Q wants is essentially over 10% of the cap.

That's not smart football team amangement.

Just because the market rate for a gold plated apple is $100,000 doesnt mean that YOU should spend $100k on a gold plated apple.

Your point on IDL is true, UNLESS they are also excellent pass rushers which QW happens to be.

If he was an edge getting 12.5 sacks then the contract would be worth it?  I would actually argue he is more valuable then someone like von miller who cant play the run. QW, when healthy, really is a game wrecking type guy who can make an impact on any play.

I refuted the argument in the very next sentence and it has been refuted many times before that :)

You realize he didn’t just sign it, right?

When he signed it, $20MM was more than 10% of the cap. 

On a full contract average to the salary cap...

2021: 10%

2022: 9%

2023: 8%

2024: 8%

What is the average, Sperm?

 

EDIT: last year is 8% too...

This is not my rule.

it's a league wide STANDARD.

The rest of the league only pays their ENTIRE INTERIOR D-LINE 7.5% of the cap.

You want to pay ONE player more than the average league team pays ALL FOUR (or more) of their interior d-linemen combined.

So if we pay him above 10% and somehow win the SB what will happen to your argument?

How can you say “It’s not smart to do X” when no one has ever done X before?

Times change.  You have no way of telling whether a premium DT will be more or less valuable in the future.  All I know is that this team is better with Q than without, because it is not a guarantee that the Jets will be able to replace him with an equally talented player at a more premium position.

You’re doing fake math: grading contract average as a percentage of the cap in

This is just basic math. No one is including Jones' amortization with his rookie contract. His contractual value to the cap is 8%. What Q wants is over 10%. 

You look at the entire contract as a percentage of the cap. Only one player EVERRRRRR (IDL) has gotten that sweetheart deal. And that player is a first ballot HOF who is a freak of nature.

y3 for Jones and y1 for QW.

Wrong.

I've already worked the future numbers for Q.

If he gets what he wants, it will take a $80M cap increase for us to just BREAK EVEN at 10%.

For him to get to 8% (like Chris Jones) it would take a $100M cap incrase.

On average, across NFL history, it has taken a DECADE or more to go up $100M.

Q's contract won't be a decade long and therefore he will NEVER outrun the 10%.

So no, I am not looking at y1 for Q. I am looking at the entirety of the contract!

The best thing about this is... we will all find out who is right eventually.

All we need is TIME.

In a couple years, may of you will be saying "Facts was right".

And the rest of you will be pretending like you never argued with me about it.

Sorry   Thats just dumb.   Those teams dont have Quinnen Williams or Aaron Donald.  You play the best players that you need to make your scheme and lead your team.   That could be Sauce next.   It was Mosely before.  

 
Some day we may have a great game wrecking edge rusher that we have to pay but until the Quinnen is our most valuable defensive player.  We have a young cheap defense, we can afford him.  I dont care how other teams pay their players.
