What has he done to earn as much, or more, than nick bosa? Lol if his next contract is the best of his career - then he's had a very disappointing career.
he was also the #2 pick - so he's made $34M over the last four years. It isn't like he's hurting for money like most rookies.
im not saying he is going to take some massive pay cut, I'm saying that's it's ignorant to just assume every player is going to go wherever they get paid the most. Lol
A lot of what he gets offered will depend on how he finishes this year, so we will have to wait and see. I just would be surprised if a bunch of teams will be lining up to guarantee him $20M+ a year for 4+ years, based on his last 3 years.
Is that really what you think I was saying? Wow.
If it's not bigger than Bosa's contract. Then he's playing here for the next few years
So you think he'll be playing here next year unless he gets the biggest contract for a defensive player in league history? I don't think he needs to demand near that much to put him out of the range Lynch and Paraage would be willing to pay.
edit: many variables at play to determine whether or not he'd return, but IMO the biggest is what he'd want vs what the team would be WILLING to pay, not what they could afford, and his play this season will dictate most of that.
AB has number based on avgs somewhere, he's say it's not an issue. hopefully it's true
I think he will be a land a 2-3 year contract that pays somewhere between like $17-21M - with a lot of it being incentive base. Not much guarantee because of his health.
(This is purely my opinion) - I think the most anyone will offer him is like $20-22M a year but with a lot of non guaranteed money. So when I say I think he will take less to be here - I could see him taking like $17-$18M a year here (with potential incentives like pro bowl etc) on a two - three contract. Making him a free agent at like 27-28 years old to sign a mega deal.
Here is the best place to prove himself and win. So if he signed a 2-3 year contract at that range, it'll set him up best to get a massive payday in 2-3 years.
instead Of takin $22M with a team like the packers or giants , who are a disaster and suck.
That's what I mean by young taking a "haircut" to be here and why I'm disagreeing with the idea that he will go wherever he gets paid the most. I could be wrong, who knows, but that's what I'm tryin to say.
This is exactly what I see. I was thinking a 2 year deal, which can give him 2.5 years on this line. He should feast as a pass rusher and if he has good health, some team will gladly give him a huge long-term deal in 2026. If he can be had for 17 - 22, without a lot of guarantees we absolutely should do that.
yeah that's what I think is most likely to happen, assuming everything stays consistent between now and the end of the year. We should be willing to do this if we want two good pass rushers. We've desperately needed it for a while now
Yeah and AB will be a better source for this next part I'm going to say but I imagine if we can get thin on a 2 or 3 year deal, We can do some tricky things to spread out his salary cost over a 4-5 year period. That way to save some in the near term.
