Prices have gone up on everything since I was kid but sports and live concert prices have gone crazy. It used to be common to see guys bring their kids to games but not anymore. NBA court side tickets routinely go for $5K and up. Only the ultra wealthy can afford tickets like that. I know that not every player is making those crazy salaries but there are more and more. Even the mid tier guys are getting a ton of money. The guys making near minimum aren't overpaid but they aren'y the ones driving ticket prices.

You have it backwards. It's those high ticket prices plus TV deals that are what drives the salaries up.

Regardless, the NBA-ification of the NFL is really only restricted to the handful of elite QBs, because those are the only players that are as valuable to their team as an NBA star. Every other position can go pound sand. Otherwise, there are too many other competing players and positions, not to mention injuries and short careers.

It started with Kirk Cousins and Daniel Snyder playing power games.

After being franchised multiple times and coming out the other side Cousins kept the short term guaranteed deals as his standard.

His original vikings deal was 3 years 84 million fully guaranteed.

Russell Wilson has been saying he wants his next deal fully guaranteed for a while now

This is the next competitive contract tool for the NFL.

Guarantee the entire contract

Well Matt S just agreed to $160m four year extension deal with $155m guarantee. Another wow!

Rams didn't go full $160m guarantee to show they have the upper hand

Lol!

Yup. Cleveland paid an unprecedented price for a guy who's a joke. What fools.

The way they structured his contract almost looks like they expect him to be suspended for a while, this is a bizarre situation.

In case y'all missed it amongst all this Watson noise, Cordarrelle Patterson isn't coming here either; 2 years, $10.5 mil. to stay in the ATL…..

That would be a disaster. If he is here another year I give John Lynch an F+ for this offseason.

Rams have lost alot of players, More than we have. They just gave away a guy who was their #2 WR because they needed the cap space. They had to replace him with abit cheaper and less talented guy. They lost their #2 CB, Their #1 Edge rusher, Their starting LT retired. And they lost a couple of other guys. As of right now they really have only added Robinson.

Good organizations like the 49ers and your Pitty Squealers try not to break the cap rules like the Lamb Chops

They're F'd...they didn't do so well the following year after their first SB appearance with McVay. History will repeat for them.

Robinson is better than Woods.
