I've never seen anyone defend CEO salaries like they do NFL players. But much like NFL players its all about what the market will pay. |

The fact you are assuming how much money ANYONE needs is idiotic and no amount of puffing out your chest or claiming "you know guys" changes that. Your argument essentially boils down to you thinking that you know better what someone else needs than they do themselves. I know a couple countries you could move to that share that philosophy. |

With the money he's seeking, he'll have to get it in the first few days of FA or it'll dry up. Teams don't leave that kind of cap space just lying around into June. There's going to be a fairly fast resolution here, IMO. |

Wouldn't you want to get what you're worth while you can? Especially in an industry when one freak injury (see Dre Greenlaw) could impact that?

If an employer comes at me with 70k and I know the job is worth 100k, I'm pushing for that 100k or more. And then somewhere you will settle. Once that's settled, I'm pushing for the perks. I'm not waiting 5 years for 3 weeks vacation. I want 3 weeks negotiated in at the start. I'm not paying for my hotels, the company is. I don't want to pay for my vehicle, the company can. I'm pushing for those things because if they want you bad enough they'll find a way to make it work. And maybe you come to a concession on some of it. And when I walk away with a company truck to use, company-paid hotels and meals when I have to work onsite, remote the rest, unlimited PTO, and a 85k salary now we're talking, right? And now I want some guarantee of more than cost of living raises, so I'm negotiating that for a set number of years. So I ask for 5% plus COL for the first 3 years. And I've done this, and it's worth it. And so when you look at these NFL players, are they not doing the same thing? In their case they want more guaranteed money, they want more up front. Why? Because who knows what the next bag will be or if there will be one. Get it while they can get it. It's alot harder to go back to the table after the deal is done. The difference might not be living but how well you're living. I can do alot more with 85k and no vehicle payment than i can with 70k and a vehicle payment. They can do alot more with 15 million than they can with 5. It's all relative. |

That COULD be done. And with a max Mahomes restructure and cutting Omenihu and Valdes-Scantling, extending Reid, and giving Sneed 4/$82M, you're still in decent operating shape for 2024. With those moves and tendering the ERFA, signing Tranquill to a 2-year deal in his price range, and not doing anything else other than the Mahomes roster bonus restructure, I'm at about $33M in space. That would be enough to sign the rookies, clearly, and also make a 1-2 medium moves in FA (a Curtis Samuel type at WR, for example). It would put you in VERY rough shape in 2025. |

There's levels to this shit. Your lifestyle isn't their lifestyle. So what, they may want to buy a $3m car or wear a $250K chain and buy multiple mansions. I'm sure you have unnecessarily expensive guilty pleasures as well that less fortunate people think is overkill. Just because, "you know a guy(s)" doesn't mean anyone else's perspective/perceptions isn't valid. Last edited by wutamess; 02-13-2024 at 04:40 PM.. |

When I modeled a Chris Jones contract for estimative purposes in throwing together mocks, I put two void years into it. It's really hard to share so I attached an image of my spreadsheet...
In any event, its 3/84 + 1.0m/yr 10+ sack bonus and 1.0m/yr Super Bowl appearance bonus. Those would likely be seen as "likely to be earned" at this juncture so they are added to the cap number. |

Yeah, I like him a bunch. I'm all for extending hm if Jones walks. But if they're keeping Jones, Omenihu seems like more of a luxury than a need to me.
