This guy.

They're playing a game that is in huge demand by the consumer. If the money intake increases, players should get more also. We all signed up for a market economy. How does it "need to stop" when it works the way it should?

You're right, but from a salary cap standpoint, teams are going to have a few high-paid players and a whole lot of NFL-minimum scrubs. That could hurt the quality of the game we all enjoy.

Football rosters are so much larger than MLB or NBA rosters players need to be a little more realistic in their contract demands. Especially "very good" players like Dak that want "generational talent" type money.

He is looking for back pay I guess.

Back pay for what???

 

[Zordon]

Forgive my ignorance but who is this?

The great Sam Ehlinger. Texas Longhorns junior quarterback and Heisman candidate.

 

[JayFord]

Back pay for what???

Unpaid overtime

 

[MarcusRock]

A) is this fact? and B), what say you Daksters, how high do you want to go?

A) = NO (see Page 8 of thread)

 

[Zordon]

Dude’s a gimmick spread read QB in a weak defensive conference.

Embarrassing comment.

Texas runs a pro-style spread and beat the **** out of Georgia's defense in the Sugar Bowl.

Hes worth about 20mil. The qb market is so messed up its ridiculous!

This guy.

In five years he'll be asking for $70 million annually. Especially if he makes a couple Pro Bowls as an alternate.

I like Dak...but come on man!! 40 mil??

He can have 70 million aslong as he throws 50 touchdowns with 22.5 sacks and 50 home runs

I love Dak but he and his agent are out of their ever-loving minds....

Says the guy who hasn't figured out that his own QB isn't making 30 mil a season?

When QBs were making 20, anything below 15 was a good deal. And in a world where Dak wants 40, 32 ain’t half bad.

Hes worth about 20mil. The qb market is so messed up its ridiculous!

The NFL (and all of these, "Pay The Man" fans) need to get back on the same page of paying QBs based on their merits and not this supposed "That's the market" stuff. As we all see, the market apparently changes from day to day, even hour to hour.

 

[JayFord]

this market smh

But I guess in the 40s it was absurd to ask for $500 bucks a season

Exactly right. At $40M/yr, that would consume over 21% of the salary all by itself.

The absolute dollar value is mostly irrelevant; it's the percentage of the salary cap that the contract consumes.

Man, I am glad you aint a Cowboy Fan. Let me see, how can I put this.......?

No, that's wrong.
