You guys are crazy if you think St. Brown isn't good enough to get paid.

This place is reeruned when it comes to paying guys. They would have let Jones walked FFS

Every single time one of these WRs gets paid it makes me so happy, because I know Hollywood just added another few hours to his training regime whenever he sees a new deal come through.

That dude is going to spark off like a firecracker in this offense next year, he wants his bag and Mahomes is going to get it for him while winning us another Super Bowl, and we’re all going to masturbate and be jolly.

I really, really, really have trouble believing any WR is worth 30m a year.

Especially when you have to have a really good QB throwing him the ball.

Now that we're in the 30m/year phase for WRs, I'd like to see how many of them actually advance to the Super Bowl.

I bet it's exactly zero.

I was ecstatic about Jones second contract. His third contract…. Yea. I have doubts.

Oh wow - he did.

That's the quietest 1,500 yard season ever. Geez.

I knew he was good but that's outstanding. I didn't realize he was THAT good. I would've told you he was around 1,200 yards last year and said "yeah - top 10 guy; probably deserves to get paid..."

But that's more like "Damn, top 5 guy, DEFINITELY needs a bag..."

He's just so under the radar.

He gives us our best chance at making history. People think you can punch pennies because it worked with Hill. Two different positions letting Jones walk would have been extremely foolish
