Micah and Ceedee are to blame as well

[pitt33]

Keep Ceedee and deal the mouth for two firsts

Totally

Blaming players because they want to be paid? It’s a business! These players have to get their money while they can. Once their skills decline teams move on.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I already did.

No, you didn't.

 

[darealvelle]

NFL= not for long.

I say take the money while you can get it.

Yep this is the best and easiest opportunity to create generational wealth for your family.

 

[baltcowboy]

No, you didn't.

Ok

 

[DandyDon52]

The Jones family are trying to be tight with money, in order to save to have enough for Micah and Ceedee. We put a lot on our QB wanting to be paid, well it's on these two guys as well!

Justin Jefferson rejected 30 million, what would Ceedee be asking for. Micah mentioned the longer we wait the more expensive it will be! What are we to do!???

Can you imagine any scenario you tell your employer that 30 mil a year isnt enough ????????????
These guys have lost their minds.(or they just be dummies)

 

[DandyDon52]

So far it is lamb demanding to be highest paid, as he feels he is the best wr in nfl history!!
Parsons said in his podcast that he isnt asking for anything specific, he thinks his play on field between now and then
will get him whatever he gets.

We don’t have a problem with entertainers, actors and musicians earning tens to hundreds of millions a year , why an athlete ?

The NFL is an entertainment business.

 

[Kwyn]

It would have been better if both sucked and been readed/released??

Yes. The only players on the roster not on a rookie contract should be vets on one year minimum deals.

That’s the way some folks here seem to think.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

I don’t see Micah, CeeDee, and Dak all on huge contracts. It’s simply not feasible to have the highest paid QB, WR, and defensive player.

Someone gotta go and all signs are pointing to him already.

Of the three I'd keep Parsons and Lamb is too soft and Dak is well.....mediocre at best.

well that isnt a good comparison.
If a big name actor wants 40 mil to do a star role in a movie , him/her being in it will help that movie make enough money to be worth paying
them that much.
musicians dont make that much per year 10 mil max for the big ones.
Record companies get most of the sales revenue, and the live shows are where they make their money, and there is a limit to
how much they can make doing live shows.

An athlete is part of a team and it is a 22 man team. The rest of the team has to be good too, to win a SB, 1 guy cant do it alone.

I am not saying athletes shouldnt make millions, just that it should be within reason, with some logic to it.

The way it is a few of them get way overpaid, while the rest play for peanuts.
They all face injuries or short careers but these stars dont care about all the non star players.

It could be that the non star players get even in some of these big games, by just sand bagging those game, let the big stars with all the money win
the game.

You one hit from the hospital- unemployment or death...Yet-some fans think it's Walmart.... Want to see if they'd take a pay cut if they were playing versus rooting as a fan??? I'd say not.....

There is a limit which the owners have in place with Salary Cap.

And those making the most are leading actors or positions which the owners determine are most important.

These stars also help drive the revenue for these teams with merchandise sales and fan interest.

The comparisons are actually very viable in an entertainment business which some fans are in denial which the NFL has become.

Here’s the top 10 of musician earners with over 2 billion combined. Several over 100 million per year.

The main reason some fans take issue with players salaries is the owners place Caps on the total amount allowed . And if some players or positions are over valued or paid it limits the amount for supporting cast.

But balancing the budget isn’t the players responsibility. That’s on the FO or owners.

Fans also forget this is an entertainment business first. Or they’d be playing these games in old college stadiums and practicing in cow pastures.

Fans priority is winning. The NFL priority is making money.

 

[Blackspider214]

That's what the league has turned into. This isn't the 70's or 80's any more. The players no longer play for the love of the sport like they used to do in the past.

If the NFL ceases to exist one day, and I won't care if it happens, the players will be the one to blame.

Got to love it. Good ol day syndrome. The players make peanuts compared to what the owners are bringing in.And make way less than MLB and NBA players. But sure, it's the big bad players fault. How dare they want to make the most money they can in a very short career. They should appease fans like you and take deep discounts for all the work they have put in all their lives.

Newsflash, players played for the money in the past. You equate making less money as to playing for the love of the game. False.

The NFL prints its own money. It's not going anywhere and it definitely wouldn't be because of the player's salary.

who's giving up 2 firsts for a 1 year rental?

 

[ghst187]

Don’t blame the players for trying to get max money, other than QBs, but I blame the FO for hamstringing the cap with dumb contracts.
Two of the players this FO plans on paying league high contracts to have proven they aren’t capable of producing in the biggest games. Right now they would net a draft haul plus enable you to fill out a roster with solid players instead of two stars and a bunch of roster fillers. The league has proven the only positions a team cannot truly overpay on if they are really good is QB, HC, and GM/draft team. Everything else is window dressing.

 

[shabazz]

Somebody that's willing to sign him long term....it happens all the time

 

[DandyDon52]

The mahomes contract, is the smartest contract in the nfl.
He took less so the team could win SB's. His per year pay is 50 mil , for ten years!
They can manipulate the cap bigtime since it is such a long contract.
He is making less in these early years so the team has more money for other players.

The cap is going up each year, so that makes it easier to deal with those later years when they have to pay him more.

If dallas pays CD 27 mil a year now instead of 30 , he is still generational wealthy, but helps the team ( he should decide how that money is spent)
A few mil less is not a big deal , Same for dak, 40 mil a year is plenty, but he wants 60, that is just greed.
No way any QB is worth more than mahomes. The others should all make less than mahomes.

 

[kevm3]

why would these players help a losing organization? The only thing stephen would do is pocket the savings
