Bro it's heading that way are you not watching or you dint see the trend!? What has Trevor Lawrence done yet he's making the most out of all QBs.....stop and even if he only gets 57 or 58 is it that far from 60 to make a difference in your mind....like seriously
Is Josh Allen elite?....Has made 2 championship games I think , He looks elite, but cant get by KC
Josh Allen's six seasons in Buffalo___
$5 million a year is pretty steep. You are saying that the team will see Dak as worth $20 million to $25 million more than Lawrence over the life of the contract. That is quite a difference. Lawrence only got the same as what Burrow got last year, which can simply be chalked up to inflation. Dak would be breaking new ground, which I do think he'll do because of inflation, but not to the tune of $20 million to $25 million more. $57 million, which I do think is possible, is $12 million to $15 million less than $60 million over the life of the contract. In our free agent world that's 6 to 7 free agents.
It's hard to say exactly what that means, though. If he feels he should be paid what he's worth, then wouldn't he believe he's worth more than Lawrence. There are ways to not be the highest-paid by setting up your contract to where your average per year is the highest but your actual salary is not. That's where players often "compromise" to bring cap relief to the team. They sign longer-term deals, like Mahomes did, that still richly reward them but allow the team to spread out the hit.
This isn't college
Yeah, he can say anything, but we really don’t know what his intentions are. I hope it’s a team friendly deal.
It isn’t but the guy is 24, has a world of talent, and 2 years ago was one of the best QBs in the game.
His intention is probably sign a deal before the season starts putting him right at where the highest paid quarterbacks are and if such a deal is not forthcoming become a free agent in March and sign the offer he likes the most. Either way, Dak Prescott is going to be paid a lot of money to play for an NFL team in 2025.
What's going to matter is the length. Last time, Dak sought a shorter-term deal, which makes it tougher to pay less early and move money around. However, the team has added multiple void years to it to push hits back. In order to absorb the money in those void years and keep the contract low, the team needs a real long-term deal. The only way for a player to agree to that, though, is with lots and lots of the money guaranteed. That's kind of what KC did with Mahomes. For example, in 2025, Mahomes has a $32 million roster bonus, but because of the length of his contract, the team will be able to prorate it to bring down his $66 million cap hit. Mahomes still gets his money and technically will be the highest-paid QB in the league, but his hit comes down by more than $20 million. The next year, though, they will have to renegotiate the deal because his base is $45 million and his cap hit already $66 million without the prorated bonus. May be too late in his career to do a similar deal with Dak, but it would have been nice if we had done something like that the first time.
Great points all. The Jones definitely have been overthinking these star player contracts. They tried to play it smart, but ended up where we are now with Dak and Cee Dee. Cee Dee’s situation is more normal and it will depend on the details of the contract to see if they had to over pay.
Josh Allen has made 1 championship game, not 2...................his career playoff record is 5-4
So you saying that with all this talent he still needs help? Sounds right for every Qb
No I was saying Jacksonville has been a dumpster fire not just needing to give Lawrence help.
Yea I know exactly what you was saying. I was being a smart ***.
Well Dak has not won a div game yet, never been to a champ game or SB. So that makes his value a little lower.
Allen is elite
Allen has been 'a bit sloppy at times' since he entered the league.
