Mike Florio was discussing the fact it is said owners are discussing the possibility of a QB salary cap. I find that to be quite interesting, but he went on to discuss Josh Allens deal that will pay him 45 million this year..... or the deal avgs 45 million. Anyways, he was saying how Allen is vastly "Underpaid." Huh???? Dude signed a 6 year extension and had something like 150 million guaranteed. He signed the deal. His agent j knew it was a 6 year deal which they had to know 3 years down the road his deal would be small compared to some others. In any event, it appears Allen is signed through 2028... and yet Florio is already calling for Allen to go back to the Bills to basically say.... hey yo, you know that 1/4 billion dollar deal I signed a couple years ago? well, its time to up the ante.
That is total BS IMo. 4 more years remaining on his deal and the Bills are supposed to redo the deal? Funny how I just wrote about this very thing and what a joke these contracts are when players want to just redo a "Contract," as soon as others pass their deal up.
Hold firm Bills, hold firm.
I agree with you those clowns don't understand the cap and business side of football from behind a MIC they are suggesting crippling teams by having and players do this..,
there's already a cap,
teams have a choice on whether to keep overpaying quarterbacks or any players, or put their foot down and allow some other team to do it.. eventually if you stop handing out ridiculous contracts to certain positions... then you can easily stay within the salary cap restrictions which there aren't very many as we found out,
but This is why I've always said, and this proves my point everyone's saying the Jones family are responsible for setting new market and they're dumb for not paying players early, look no matter what would happen with Prescott back in 19/2020, if he would have signed early he would have been back holding out three years into his deal wanting to be paid with all these other guys are paid...these players and agents are not stupid. Tua just turned down 50!!! Miami needs to just say take it or leave it , don't cave..stop the madness.
Which by the way the Kansas City Chiefs have done this with Patrick Mahomes already it's kind of silent that they do it but they've gone to him and say hey we're just going to bump you a little bit we want to keep you happy because he is the best quarterback in the league and the only one winning rings on a regular basis...
The Cleveland Browns already set a bad precedent giving Deshaun Watson under suspension who hasn't played well in two to three seasons a guaranteed $250 million contract without him playing a single snap for them , OH same with Wilson and Denver, and now well that's their own fault...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so no, there doesn't need to be a individual players cap teams need to be smarter, and they need to be more steadfast and stop caving and being scared to say no to some of these players demands...Owners are creating this mess.
Because now what it's led to is other positions seeing the imbalance and now instead of players coming in wanting to be top five in their position they want to be the next market setting highest paid non quarterback in the league that's the new trend it's starting with the receivers now and then it's going to the defensive ends this is getting out of control we don't need a specific cap for positions we need smarter and tougher general managers and owners not the keyed to all this nonsense....
They're the ones that are setting the market ,they're the ones who are killing the cap balance, all you have to do is be the trendsetter and say no, this is what we're offering ,it's ridiculous, it's making you rich, take it or leave it and let them walk away and if enough teams see other teams doing it they will do it and maybe finally the salary cap we'll start to have more balance..
