Browns give Myles Garrett a new deal

[big dog cowboy]

Jesus! These NFL contracts have gotten way out of control!!! Why does everyone have to be "the highest paid player...." smdh

Notice how it's expanded from QB's back in the day to every position now.

Micah simply has not impressed like Garrett has. and Garrett has been on a team that is much worse.

I doubt there is a good case for paying Micah as much.

Unfortunately, that is not how the market works.

Otherwise, Dak, Lawrence, Watson, Hurts etc would not be making more than Mahomes.

Can someone remind me again why Dallas is gonna wait until the last minute to sign Parsons?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Myles Garrett two weeks ago: Trade me to a contender! I want to win!!

Myles Garrett today: $40 million APY to go 6-11 every year? Where do I sign???

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He even said he wanted signed immediately.

He said he didn’t need 40 million either and I’m not buying it. Dak talked that crap and 60 million later he signed. And I get it honestly I just have to actually see it.

 

[HungryLion]

It’s all good. The Jones’ are just watching the tea leaves fall.

Ask yourself why would Parsons sign before Garrett and Crosby?

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Micah got more expensive.

imagine if someone in the front office saw this possibility occurring and just said f**k it and signed Micah before Garrett got a new deal

 

[visionary]

Now can we please trade Micah?

IIRC, it wasn't all that long ago the Browns had several early picks, even having 3(?) in the first round of one draft, and they couldn't do squat with it.

If you’re going to let that stop you, you might as well just fold the franchise.

So all this talk by Garrett was simply him pressuring the Browns into giving him more money.....

Not surprised in the least. Good to know that isn't just a Dak thing

NEWSFLASH …. They do not have to get a deal done with Micah at this point. He can play on his current contact.

You do it early if you care about the cap. If you don't, then yeah, he doesn't need to be paid now.

If he plays out this year, 4 years at 40m will average 40m per year.
If they pay him now, same contract, and when you include his 5th year option, it averages out to 36.8m a year over 5 years.
Had they given him that same contract last year, including his 4th year and 5th year option, it averages out to 31.5m over 6 years. All examples use the same 4 year 40m contract. Same amount of time and money spent. Only the cap hits are smaller due to signing him early.

I'm not buying it either.

Idiot Cowboys should have extended him before all the non-sense started.

I’m really curious as to what kind of trade value he would have. Probably a lot… But when I put my GM hat on, how much is Micah worth at an average an annual value of 40+ million.

If we can find someone that would give us two first rounders… Someone that maybe is a fringe contender… So the possibility that they might crater and the first rounder is high…. I would move Micah in a heartbeat. But hey, I want us to embrace the pain… So we can be serious contenders in a couple years. Trade Mica… Trade Dak… embrace the pain.

 

[SlammedZero]

These contracts are getting out of hand. How long before a player demands $500 million? Feels like we're almost there.

 

[Aven8]

Idiot move by the Browns.

He has 2 or 3 peak years left. Browns won't be good any time soon.

He could have jump started their rebuild.

Why do teams just stay content in being kinda competitive, delaying the inevitable for YEARS, just so they can say they were 8-9 instead of 4-13?

Oh wait....scratch that

If I’m Cleveland I’m drafting Cam Ward. Watson won’t be ready any time soon. Cleveland is the land of QB failures but keep trying at least.

And guess what would follow soon afterwards....... $1500.00 a seat tickets. The NFL would be digging their own grave if they keep letting the salaries spiral out of control any worse than they are already.

I agree but I also feel like Parsons is waiting it out. Or his agent anyway.

From your lips to Jerry's ears.

 

[popp1234]

Hahahahaha LMAO! The stupidity of Jerry just keeps on giving me a good laugh!

I think it's more Stephen than Jerry. The direction the Cowboys have been going over the last decade or more, relative to going after free agents, correlates with Stephen Jones having even more control over player acquisition and money.
