Assume OBJ Keeps This Pace Up: How much will he cost?

DaddyM89 : 5/16/2015 12:48 am

Just a hypothetical because I'm bored. Let's assume OBJ keeps this up over the next 3-4 years continuing to be an elite wr and a generational talent. How much will he cost down the road when its time to pay him 3-4 years from now? With the cap continuing to go up the next few years could we be looking at a 20-22 million a year contract for a WR?

Possible

though, when the time comes, we probably won't have to worry about a QB taking up $20 million in cap space, so maybe it all evens out.

if we're considering paying a WR that much money, it means he's been unbelievable the next 3+ years. Good problem to have.

More than Suh's

Contract.

if he keeps this up......Madison Ave will be paying a hugh chunk of $

George from PA : 5/16/2015 5:56 am : link

Much of his fanfare comes from being in NYC.

And having a franchise QB

Something we can leverage......

.or sign one of the 10 WRs who made an impression last year in their rookie season.

Supply and Demand drives salaries.

And one thing colleges are producing are WRs!

All Ready?

Let's worry about Prince and JPP! Who knows what'll happen in 3 - 4 yrs.

What if Hakeem Nicks had kept up his pace from the SB 46 run...

...through 2013?

He'd probably be in Tennessee anyway (with a lot more money), but the Giants' trophy case would be really crowded. Bottom line: when your stars play well, it's a good thing. Let Kevin Abrams worry about the cap. As others have said, Beckham's rookie contract probably coincides with the latter years of Eli Manning's peak. They should be good ones.

I'd have said it's way too early

mrvax : 5/16/2015 7:55 am : link

but I've thought of it myself. The question may be better if phrased, "How much would it cost in 4 years to sign a top 3 WR in the NFL"?

Gun to my head - snap answer would be close to $20M per. I'd think it would be about $5M less than what is considered a franchise QB at that time.

1 Billion $$$$$

If being in NYC was something we can leverage, we'd routinely see high profile players sign with us at discounts because of it. We don't. And we won't with OBJ. If continues at this pace, we'll pay him accordingly, or lose him.

OBJ is yesterday news, time to draft his replacement

Mason : 5/16/2015 10:19 am : link

- Modern NFL

By that time he will be the QB

Hot Rod in Florida : 5/16/2015 10:41 am : link

And he will throw the ball up as high as he can where he sees there are no defenders and run under the ball and catch it himself. He'll be unstoppable and demand the combined salary of a top QB and a top WR. Probably around 100 million.

Me might also be the kicker as well

Hot Rod in Florida : 5/16/2015 10:43 am : link

He may be the only player to be QB, WR, and kicker to ever play the game. A throwback to the old days of the 2 way players.

Heck, maybe even our kick off and punt returner

Hot Rod in Florida : 5/16/2015 10:45 am : link

Imagine how valuable he'd be in fantasy football scoring pts as QB, WR, kicker, kick returner, and punt returner. The number one player in real football and fantasy football.

$10 billion

If the assumption is e gets the biggest contract for a WR

Ben in Tampa : 5/16/2015 11:25 am : link

In history, then it will be more than $120 mil total value, more than $

Ugh, sorry about the break

Ben in Tampa : 5/16/2015 11:26 am : link

$16MM average a year, with more than $6MM guaranteed per year.

It will be massive.

Whatever the largest wr contract is in a few years

AcesUp : 5/16/2015 11:40 am : link

Until another guy at or near his level signs their deal, he'll be the highest paid wr in the league. If he keeps up his pace, Abrams won't have much to worry about, the top guys are the no brainier contracts...it's the above average guys that challenge/screw the cap guys.

Take JPP for example

AcesUp : 5/16/2015 11:42 am : link

How do you figure out what the hell to pay him?

poor analogy in my view. Most players even high profile aren't at the level of making a marketing impact.

ODB is the most popular player in football right now period. He wouldnt be on the titans.

Best to trade him before we get that price-tag

Jimmy Googs : 5/16/2015 12:21 pm : link

He is a bit over-rated anyway.

One lucky catch vs. Dallas and whole lot of fan-fare...

well, since he's already a top 5 receiver

Simms11 : 5/16/2015 1:31 pm : link

and will likely continue that, you can see right now what a top 5 receiver is worth.Thank goodness the cap is going up, but I just think salaries will go up with it. He will probably be in the 14mil range IMO.

whatever it takes

eli4life : 5/16/2015 1:47 pm : link

Right now - I'm just hoping the gets through

next season and is productive

BlueLou : 5/18/2015 6:40 am : link

Will pay!

Whatever the salary cap number is that year
