Spotrac: Parsons could command $42M based on $280M salary cap

[Hawkeye0202]

Here we go.......( Dak, $60M---Lamb, $40M----Parsons, $42M

I could see it. Hopefully, Parsons means what he's said about trying to do his contract right to help with free agency and lets the team do it in a way that makes his hits low for the first few years. $42 million APY does not mean he makes $42 million each year.

BREAKING NEWS: THANK GOD WE SIGNED Ceedee Lamb early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care what market they're going by the FLEA MARKET, FARMERS MARKET ETC, that's too much for Micah I'm sorry!!! He'll get it, and I can't wait to see how he performs during the contract!!!

He'll be at camps this summer, next season you won't see him! Eventually he'll have an injury bug where he'll miss multiple games each season!!

To base a players pay on the percentage of the salary cap is so beyond stupid.

Talk about a dumb tweet.

Pay Parsons 42 mil = no super bowls.

 

[LonnieElam]

Pay Parsons 42 mil = no super bowls.

Even if you don't = no super bowls

 

[Teague31]

So roughly $4m per sack. Awesome.

lmao...if you think Parsons will help out with the salary cap when he gets into negotiations with Jerry, he has you fooled, big time! Just like all players, he will screw Jerry as hard as he can.

I can see Parson's agent looking for $40 million a season.
Jethro should not do it but the idiot probably will

 

[DasTex]

If his agent demands this amount, Trade and move on
Smart GMs would
Good thing we have one.....oh wait. DANG IT

 

[visionary]

I will say it now so there is no ambiguity

We will be stupid to pay Parsons a long term contract. He is not a DE, will get some sacks but will be injured and not live up to it

 

[Hadenough]

Parsons and Lamb wouldn't look so bad if Dak were doing his job in the playoffs.

 

[mote]

Here we go.......( Dak, $60M---Lamb, $40M----Parsons, $42M

So, if I'm doing my math correctly, that would be $142 million out of a projected $280 million cap (51%) on three players. That's a lovely plan.

Why? Just my opinion but it seems to be the most accurate way to project contracts.

 

[Adiba1977]

35 mil Max. Even that I gotta think about

So if the salary cap goes up 10% next year, Dak should make $66M instead of $60M?????

 

[StarOfGlory]

So roughly $4m per sack. Awesome.

Inflation.

I wouldn’t have paid him $60m but that’s a different thread. Ultimately though yes, if Jerry had waited a year and Dak had similar 2024 numbers to his 2023 numbers he would have easily been talking about $65m instead of $60m.
