So about 27 million a year. That contract is good for our negotiation.
It's coming to that. The contracts in baseball are staggering as well. To think 1 player can make nearly 1/2 a billion playing baseball is nuts. Trout signed a 400 million contract last off-season and they are all guaranteed.I agree with you. I could see a day when sports will eventually over price fans out of the game because of these big contracts.

Someone help me understand this a little bit. It appears this contract helps us in our negotiation with Dak. Wentz had 2 years left on his contract at 2 years and $26.8 million. He got extended 4 years for $128 million bringing the total contract to 6 years and $154.8 million or $25.8 million per year. I was thinking that Dak would probably cost us $30 million plus a year. The only thing I don't understand in the $107 million guaranteed in Wentz's contract. Is that $107 million guaranteed over the first 3 years or the first 4 years.
So if Wentz would have remained the starting QB in 2018 would the Eagles have made the playoffs? They were 6-7 when Foles took over. Wentz's 5 victories last year were against the Commanders at home with Mark Sanchez at QB, the Giants at home, Jacksonville at home, the Giants on the road, and Indianapolis at home early in the year before the Colts got hot. Not too impressive.I always liked Foles even though he's on the Eagles, but he's not Carson Wentz. He did have a storybook postseason and Super Bowl performance, but if he was the quarterback for the entire year they never would have made the playoffs. That year Wentz was like superhuman for that team right up until the 13th game where he ripped a couple ligaments scoring a touchdown. Foles will be back on the Eagles in a couple years after he's cut by Jacksonville. I don't think he's a starting quarterback in the NFL.
You can change the definition of elite I guess. Whatever you need.I agree he’s not most elite but arguably elite. Dak shouldn’t be in that group is my argument.
And they should be based on success and talent.

He was awful last year. No doubt in my mind that they don't make the playoffs if he didn't get hurt.So if Wentz would have remained the starting QB in 2018 would the Eagles have made the playoffs? They were 6-7 when Foles took over. Wentz's 5 victories last year were against the Commanders at home with Mark Sanchez at QB, the Giants at home, Jacksonville at home, the Giants on the road, and Indianapolis at home early in the year before the Colts got hot.

The guaranteed money is only 107. If he isn’t what they thought or can’t stay healthy then they get out.The extension is 4/128 which is 32
What are people not getting about this
So we could basically turnaround and give Dak the same 4 year $128 million dollar extension that would put him under contract for 5 years and $130 million ($26 million a year) since he has 1 year and $2 million left on his contract.So if Wentz would have remained the starting QB in 2018 would the Eagles have made the playoffs?

It’s a subjective term. But if you consider Dak elite then I’d definitely disagree as most critics would.You can change the definition of elite I guess. Whatever you need.
You're not very good at this.It’s a subjective term. But if you consider Dak elite then I’d definitely disagree as most critics would.
You only control his rights if you apply the franchise tag. That's a tremendous burden on the club, and usually pisses off the player. It also takes your ability to protect another star player from leaving. It's an option, but it doesn't change the fact he's an unrestricted free agent unless and until the FO decides to use it on him. I see it unlikely because it automatically wipes out 30 million at least from the salary cap In one year. That's crippling for signing other players and keeping your own..
He’s been injured every year for the past 4 years. He’s injury prone.Jackie she did she said she become a from now on
Exactly, but he's not injured. Any quarterback would take it because playing the position is quite honestly dangerous. Your career could come to an end at any time. I think it was like 107 million guaranteed? You gotta be nuts not to take the guarantees in the NFL where contracts for the most part aren't guaranteed.
That's just their unprofessional opinion. I'd like to ask why they feel Dak is worth less than a guy like Wentz.

Well ya. All the sentences were written by me to "give myself the upper hand". That is typically what happens in discussions where parties disagree. They provide comments that help backup and reinforce their viewpoint.The last sentence is made up by you to give yourself the upper hand outside of it maybe being a waste of time. That I can see but hell we all are wasting time even on here so at the end of the day even that doesn't mean much. You just want everybody to basically shut up that isn't on some hooray talk and that's just not how things work. No amount of shaming talk by you me or anybody else is going to change that either because I've definitely done similar things myself.
At least you concede that the chances of a random getting your boss to change your salary is soo small it isn't really worth mentioning. I mean you could be a multi millionaire today if you win the mega millions but that too is not likely.
I’d argue Wilson is considered more of an Elite QB than Dak. Certainly closer to that group. And most critics would agree. That’s not making up lies. They just don’t align with your opinions.You're not very good at this.
Name ONE SINGLE time I ever posted Prescott was elite? One.
You can't because it never happened. This is what you do when you get backed into a corner with facts. I'll even give a little wiggle room and add some gray area to the word elite.
Wilson STILL isn't in that ballpark. If you exclude TEAM accomplishments, his statistics are awfully close to Prescott, lol.
But continue to make up lies and your own definitions.
If you’re using team wins as a measurement then only Belichick has been a greater HC than Garrett in same time frame.
