Well I mean look at deals.. I remember JG $137m was a then NFL record.. now it's kinda chump change... Jones got $160m for 4. JG was $137 for 5. Rodgers is getting $150m for 3. Deals only go up, over time. Kyler $230m for 5. Russ $245m for 5. Why not Lamar $260m for 5 and gtd $231? Let's get real $800m is silly, maybe in 20 years tho
Lamar should be > Russ or Watson, imo. He won MVP on the rook deal, they didn't.
Russ won a super bowl, while leading them to another the next season, on his rookie contract. He also started 160 straight games starting from his first career game.
He also has a winning playoff record, and a 2-1 td-int ratio in the playoffs.
Now lamar, in his first 5 years he missed more games than Wilson in 11 years. Has performed worse than his previous "full" season. Has a losing playoff record with a 3-5 td-int ratio(4-7 td- TO)
And i think we have established the Browns are f**king stupid, and Watson benefited from a desperate stupid team. And if Lamar can find those circumstances power to him.
