Just a great post! Wow you must be an Certified capoligist or agent
Good stuff
LOL noooooo. There are people on this forum that know a lot more about the cap and contracts than I do, Im always asking them questions. This is just simple math and common sense stuff. The commons sense part is, if you see 106m GTD, which is lower than Goff and Wentz, you should ask yourself, why would he take less than them on a 4yr contract, much less a 5. . Then people will see the 175m and say, that is why because its the biggest contract in nfl history. But if you look at GTD compared to total contract, you SHOULD see that is pretty ******. It already under market on a 4 yr deal, why would he sign it on a 5yr deal to make it even worse. BTW, when I say YOU, I dont mean actually you.
Like I said, there are people who know more than me about this stuff, so if any of them disagree Id be willing to listen and learn. Nothing wrong about learning and educating yourself. The one thing I wont listen to, is the talk of Wentz and Goff deals were done with years left on the contract so its not comparable. The Cowboys had a chance to get it done with a yr left on the old deal and they blew it. Agents arent looking at that way. Dak agent, or any agent, isnt going into the negotiations and saying to the owner, " look, we know this is all new money and there arent any years left for you to add it to. We will give a 5yr deal with 4yr money so you can make it look better, and make yourself and the fans feel better about themselves." Im sure agents do bring that up when there are years on the old deal. Im sure they try to sell to ownership that the new money looks like a lot but if you count the yrs left its really not that bad. Lol But all the years left does is make one party feel better about the deal. Agents go off new money, not new money added to old money and how it looks.
