Daniel Jones playing hardball with Giants on new contract

Lol they'd be dumb ** to offer him that. I'm surprised they don't go after Carr

 

[fivetwos]

And that’s exactly how we got to this same spot with Prescott,

What are they supposed to do? It’s either pay him well beyond what he is worth or start over.

 

[McKDaddy]

Hmmm. Each situation is different.

Do you think part of his motivation is that the team around him and the coaching staffs (until last year) has been pretty crappy during his time there and he wants to get protected from being run into the ground if they don't get him some help?

In no way do I think he's worth these amounts, regardless of the "QB market" but I can sorta see his POV in taking this stance.

Would be sorta interesting if they couldn't come to terms & he ended up with the Jets ....

I will always say build your team and a QB will come. $45M is too much cap, but I hope they work something out.

what if Carr himself wants in that $50-55 mil ..?

 

[Adreme]

Daniel Jones had 1 average year and now thinks he can get 45m? That is just lunacy.

Id rathe pay Carr 55 than Jones 45

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Hopefully Hurts does the same thing

That’s what I’m thinking. Carr probably wants the same and will likely get more.

In fairness, he had no weapons other than SB & still got them to the playoffs. So, I gotta give him some credit.

I mean should those weapons be demanding top dollar contracts? Or their average defenders? He was not impressive in any way and did nothing to suggest he is even above the Kirk Cousins line but he wants a top 5 contract.

This was explained a few years back. This is how the QB market works.

And that's never happened before in the league.

And that's never happened before in the league.

Usually when a player has a breakout year in a contract the breakout is not reaching the level of mediocrity. Unless Russell Wilson is the baseline then I just don’t see what he is hoping for here. He is legitimately the 3rd or 4th best QB available if he hit open market.

Welcome to todays market

 

[beware_d-ware]

This is how negotiations go. The player starts high, the team starts low, and they work towards the middle.

If those are the two options, I choose ‘start over’.

Jones isn’t worth close to that amount.

And the Giants succeeded due to team effort, not Jones carrying everything.

Pay a mediocre QB no better than Kirk Cousins like he's a top 5 QB in the league?

That's never happened before.

Welcome to todays market

I think teams are starting to realize that ‘today’s market’ is totally out of whack and teams just need to start setting limits and saying no.
