I force him to play or he accepts a contract that’s more money but low because it’s not his turn. You extend a guy when he is on his final year or you risk free agency, but there’s no reason to give him his big money after a couple years. If he sits, he gets no pay, and he gets no closer to free agency. The sooner you give him the huge guaranteed money, the sooner he owns your butt.
Sorry to see this...Exactly.......coz if he's serious, this can only end two ways, pay him or trade him. IF they try and force him to play, at some point the whole issue becomes cancer to the team/locker room.
Arizona would be smart to trade him, there is already bad blood between them.
dak for the armless man...make it happen.Dak for Murray... make it happen!
Time for the Cards F.O. to swaller their pride and pay the man. Who are they going to get that's better? Much like the the mistake Jerry made with Dak, they should have extended K.M. last year. Or they can wait until the QB market hits $50M/Year.
Yup, the QB market is unforgiving. Just because you pay for one doesn't guarantee you anything, but your odds of winning go up significantly with a good one.
LOL.....they have a mess on their hands coz this kid has baseball options. This fact he's threatening to sit out.......man, this could get ugly, real fast. Then again, maybe he's trying to force his way out.

No question I see what you're saying but keep in the power/impact QBs have over teams' W/L and locker room. If you force the issue, he'll simply sit out ex number of weeks where he won't lose his free-agent credit, then report. Hell, the season is probably down the drain by then. I'm simply saying if they don't want to pay him now then trade him.
Nothing wierd about it when you see marginal QBs in this game getting one huge deal after the next.So wild that teams are being held hostage by QB's that are just quite good enough to WIN IT while not being able to carry a team, but carrying a team is also a myth.
It is the way of the world now in the NFL.
Get a good one and you keep him. Might not be Great, but good is enough now.
They should be shorter, 2 years is about right, 3 at most.I love it. Personally I don’t like these rookie contracts they should be 2 years.
Yea I think the same thing. I also go back and forth on the idea of it doesn’t matter what position you play. You could base the pay on something like snap count or team wins. This is just for the rookie contracts because the whole thing is an anti trust violation without the nflpa agreeing to it.They should be shorter, 2 years is about right, 3 at most.
But they should also be lower and the same for all rounds.
The pay should be set up to escalate if they start games, or play x # of plays per game, regardless of how they play.
So if a 4th round rookie like dak winds up starting every game , his pay for the year goes way up, again regardless of whether they win those games.
The way it is now guys like dak and others get screwed pay wise, if they play a lot.
Even a guy like kyler, it is wrong to expect him to play 4-5 years as a starter for 5 mil a year. and if he was a lower round pick he would make much less, like dak.
I think guys who dont play, or play just a little, 500k a year is good for that.
What if kyler got hurt in first game in first season, and is out the rest of the year, is it fair for the team to pay him 5 mil for that? No it isnt, so there should be a scale
for injured players too.
