Dude seriously since when did this become the man has to be the new market trend setting super paid athlete he wants to be the second highest paid non quarterback in the league that's ridiculous we're talking about most of the time when you're dealing with new contracts it's like Trayvon diggs 31 million is the average for the top five you realize that jefferson's 35 it goes down to 32 to brown a couple of guys got 30 but most guys are below that that makes the average 31 million when you're looking at franchise tags they take the top five.. Most people when they're talking about GM's and contracts around the NFL they say that usually you try to do the contracts so you don't have to pay the franchise tag that means the average is 31 million most teams are trying to pay their star wide receivers under 30 that's why you give him a long term contract would be cheaper than keeping them on two straight years on the franchise tag that was the rule...
That's what I'm talking about Justin jefferson's money is an anomaly just like deshaun Watson nobody got that kind of deal that deshaun Watson got he did not start a new market trend he was an anomaly... No one needs to be higher than Justin Jefferson unless you're greedy and you have an ego I get you want to be one of the highest paid wide receivers in the NFL and you will be they offered him to be the 2nd if that's not good enough then I'm gonna have to not side with lamb and let him play on 17,000,000 and then franchise tag him and force a trade I don't want a guy on the team that wants to be the second highest paid player in the league versus just be paid fairly Trayvon diggs did this we didn't have to drag this out because he took fair money he's still top five in money a year later he was four at the time that was a easy contract to do because the player was willing to compromise... Do you laugh at 31 millions insane because you don't do the work in your head that is always been the rule top five money is a fair offer and then you look at language like guarantees and time frames...
You're trying to tell me that lamb is worth about $8 million more than DJ more? Like he's that much better look dude he's not he's a great wide receiver one of the best in the leagues should be paid like one of the best in the league not like the second best player in the league if you don't understand that I'm sorry you're blaming me ownership because you hate Jerry Jones well look at what the 49ers are going through with Trent brown and IU and to me that GM made a mistake overpaying Christian McCaffrey that's a big mistake paying a running back that's been in the league that long that kind of money now he doesn't have enough to pay his wide receiver but let's remind ourselves how the players on the field in order of priorities..
Quarterback, left/right tackle depending on your QB, pass rusher, cornerback, then wide receiver,
that's how it works you should not be the second highest paid player in the league at wide receiver I'm sorry that's not how it should work and that's what they're pushing for and I'm glad the owners are pushing back...
Look they're all important but that's why jamar chase, Brandon Ayuk, Hassan Reddick, Trent brown, and others are also not paid and they're not on the Dallas Cowboys at some point these figures are going to go down not up they're going to have to hit a wall somebody's got to make a stand and I get it they should ask for as much as they can get I don't blame lamb for holding out but he was offered 33 he should take it ,that's my opinion ,if he turns that down then I'm sorry I'm going to have to side with the ownership in that case he's being greedy...
