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

[speedkilz88]

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

Talk about a dumb tweet.

Agents will do that but with QBs. Other positions it would throw the salary cap out of whack.

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

Lol exactly what I've been saying!!! He will not live up to it at all

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.

Superbowl in Jerry's eyes

Pay Parsons 42 mil = no super bowls.

We got Jerry Jones, it don't matter what you pay Parsons, there is no accountability on the team from the top office.

Wow, that's gotta feel amazing. Good for him and all his family. Get that money.

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!!

We should cut him before training camp. Problem solved.

Right?

What the Eagles do is pretty much the same as what Dallas does, only the Eagles do it up front. The Eagles consciously moved $418 million into voidable years, $178 million of which hits in 2029. I am curious to see how Howie Roseman deals with this, or does he move on to another team before the bomb goes off?

The one difference is, the Cowboys can restructure or no restructure, or they can decide how much to restructure based on current circumstances. The Eagles are locked into their option bonuses. If the player is on the roster the Eagles are obligated to pay out the bonuses and in the amount specified in the contract. It would be like maximizing every restructure. Like I said, I am curious to see how they deal with this over the next 5 years.

Football must be passing me by because I don't see how either Parsons or Chase is worth $43 million. The idea that the CAP went up 8.6% so the contracts of these players would increase by 23% is absurd. Justin Jefferson got $35 million last year. How is Chase worth $8 million more than that just because the CAP increased by $26 million. $8 million is almost 1/3 of the increase. That's for one player!

The same goes for Parsons. I do not see how he is worth $40 million. These contracts are getting out of hand. They are increasing faster than the CAP is increasing. If this does not stop soon it is eventually going to blow up. $43 million is $2.5 million per game!

Maybe this will help a little but I read a nugget where he mentioned they focused on adding players last season but knew 2025 would be more maintenance ( his word ). One thing is obvious, he has a system/plan that's working to a T.

So roughly $4m per sack. Awesome.

At least December and Januarys salary will be cheaper

I saw that too. He alluded to the “bill comes due”. Essentially indicating they won’t be able to sign all their own FAs, so won’t be as aggressive this off season as last year.

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

1 sack in 4 playoff games (and we know he ain’t stopping the run) while his defense gave up 6 TDs in the first 7 possessions vs GB. A MP defense capable of forcing 0 punts vs good offenses as we’ve seen too many times.

Dorance had 3 sacks, including a sack fumble just this year in playoffs.

 

[Flamma]

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

Spotrac has him as a 33.7M market value.

Especially basing it off one year when there are often huge fluctuations within a contract term.

It pays to go backwards every run play. And you get a bonus for disappearing in big games. Well done Micah.

I think what they did/are doing is the only way to operate in the CAP era. Just look at the success they have had already. Some of this is luck of course. The draft really depends not just on what you do but also what other teams drafting before you do. The Cowboys got lucky getting CeeDee and Parsons. The Vikings got lucky Jefferson fell to them.

But overall, the Eagles have done a brilliant job of accumulating and retaining talent - and also replacing talent that leaves. It is shocking to me that in the face of the Eagles success the Cowboys are sticking stubbornly to their strategy which has been proven over 30 years does not work.

Two words Howie used were "trade-off" in losing some players and signing or drafting others. It's a lot of work ( something Jerry and Stephen seem to void _) to plan and state on top of when, how, and what replacement is needed w/o losing the competitiveness as a team.

 

[Proof]

highly doubt any of their cap hits will ever be the aav at the same time. still not ideal, but far different.

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.
