Video: Deion Sanders Is not a Fan of Big Quarterback Contracts

[Reality]

Funny he should say that. I've actually never been a big fan of paying cornerbacks high salaries.

You have only one quarterback on the field while most teams average around 3 cornerbacks on the field for most defensive plays.

In any case, I hate paying any player a high contract regardless of position and really hate long term contracts as well.

There can be exceptions but they have to be game-changing players. Glad it's not my job, I don't have near the business acumen to make these decisions.

 

[The Natural]

Yeah, let’s pay Tucker, the kicker for the Ravens, 30 million a year!!

You’ve lost it old timer

 

[tico]

Can't stand him, idiot all around.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

He's really not.

Deion is confusing talent level w/ importance of position. You can get be w/ mediocre Cb's. Several teams have won super bowls w/ just that. However, if you don't have a QB, you have nothing.

Plenty of mediocre QBs have won SBs. Foles, Dilfer, Hostetler...

 

[CWR]

He may be right on this point.

That being said I feel the obligation to point out that Deion is a huge d bag, and watching him speak can kill brain cells.

Thats fair

 

[TheHerd]

Many have QB under rookie contracts and all of them will get signed

That's my point. Once you pay the QB, it becomes very hard to keep your team together and keep the talent level high for the whole team.

 

[StarBoyz83]

not top 20 are you high? hes at least 5-10 best on the team..

My top 10 you cant have cooper or any points or wins without Dak remember hes throwing to Cooper and Zeke and regardless of Daks deficiency's hes still important..some of you are blind, hes not elite has a lot of work to do but he has top 3 wins since 2016 with all the top QBs in the league..

Zeke
Martin
TSmith
Fredrick
Tank
Dak
Cooper
Bjones
Jsmith
LVE

Ok not top 10. Lol

 

[RoboQB]

I can't even listen to him anymore. I guess only CBs should be getting the big contracts.

I guess nobody ever read the fine print on Deion's contracts regarding tackling... lol.
That costs extra.

It does but the alternative is blow your team up every 5 yrs

 

[northerncowboynation]

Dak doesn't deserve a big contract. He isn't even a top 10 player on the Cowboys. This could be a Blake Bortles situation.

Deion isn't a fan of big QB contracts? Does anyone really care what Deion thinks other than Deion

 

[StarBoyz83]

15-18 mil a year is plenty but in sure Jerry will give him 28-30 mil a year.

 

[northerncowboynation]

I would say that Dak deserves at least a 2013 Romo type QB contract IF he wins 1 play off game. That's just a little over $20 mill. Cheap by todays standards. Maybe throw in inflation of 2%/year or about $25 mill per

Players get what the market is
I think 15 is plenty, especially for a non top 5 player, but that’s not what the market is

I think 20 is fair to both sides
But we shall see
To me a 3 yr out is pretty important

$20 mill (2013 QB cost) plus 2% inflation/year seems about right, or about $22 mill/year, but he has to win 1 playoff game. remember the cap has gone up yearly since 2013 and if the Romo contract was no burden then a similar Prescott contract shouldn't be since SJ seems to have our cap under control

Non top 15 is more accurate

 

[Captain43Crash]

You’ve lost it old timer

What troll. I’m not an old timer yet, unless your 10.

 

[conner01]

Non top 15 is more accurate

The QB market is crazy now
Good backup quality players get huge pay days

 

[Captain43Crash]

This society in general has become amazingly blind to anything and everything that doesn't match their personal agenda.

You don’t think the reason QB’s get paid more than other positions has anything to do with Supply and Demand?
