The new CBA has been signed guys. We know the salary caps will boom in the coming seasons as TV contacts are renewed, gambling is legalized, and players are given a higher percentage share of the revenue. Again, THE SALARY CAP IS GOING UP!
The old issues of the quarterback taking too much of the cap and needing to win on rookie deals to be able to sign players is, at least immediately, null. 35-36M$ deals are no longer death sentences for teams with non-elite QB’s. These numbers occupy a smaller percentage as the cap is increasing and will continue to boom. We are fortunate to be able to sign him before this thing is a few years down the line. Imagine what Mayfield and Darnold are gonna be staring at if they make it to a new deal.
Now if guys ask for 45M$ then that issue reoccurs, but by all recent reports the team and Dak are in the same ballpark money wise (seems to be 34-36 range) and the issue now remains a 4 vs 5 year deal.
Jerry and Stephen both said they were hoping the CBA passed as it gave them more options to get the deal done. They know just like Dak’s team knew that the cap will allow for this deal to not be nearly as deadly as it could have been to the cap.
Why we still treat things like it’s the old CBA befuddles me
