or as close to now as possible. I’m sure he’ll skip OTAs again, and I don’t think a training camp holdout is beyond the realm.
Giants can tell him and his agent he needs to prove he’s healthy and back to 100%, but that’s a dicey game to play if we want him fully committed to the team, not just himself
LOL, no NFL team on this planet is handing out a 100M contract that is fully guaranteed. Ridiculous.
Especially the Giants. The Mara family will not be the ones to completely ruin the NFL owners leverage over the NFLPA. Once there is a fully guaranteed contract, there is no turning back as the next guy after that will want a fully guaranteed contract as well, and the next one, and soon eventually they will all be fully guaranteed. That is going to piss all of the owners off if teams start offering full guarantees.
So, looking at these deals based on the percentage of the cap, when Antonio Brown signed last year, his deal was for 10.18% of the salary cap (then $167 million.)
Evans' deal with the new cap ($177.2 million) is for 9.31% of the salary cap.
If one projects Odell to be better than Evans, but just slightly below Brown, this would put the ask at 9.74% (splitting the % difference) assuming the salary cap for 2019 goes up by the same percentage it did this year (6.11%). This translates into a yearly deal of $18.35 million.
I see some fans/posters have had a sticker shock when they see the $20 million number. But when you project future NFL revenues/salary cap and the percentage of the cap his WR peers are signing for, his request actually makes reasonable sense.
Have any details of the structure of the contract come out? Â
A notch below Beckham . Brown, Jones & Beckham . Those 3 are in a class by themselves . If Gettleman waits until next season, he might lose Beckham . That’s why he was let go by Carolina. He fucked up some contracts . It’s not always about talent evaluation or roster building .
He'll get a little more than Evans, but it should be in this type of ballpark.
Obviously the guarantees, bonuses, etc. will all be impossible to predict - but I think that's what the core numbers will look like.
If you pay him next year... The price goes up. And no team in the NFL is fully guaranteeing 100M. Crazy talk.

We aren't going to be winning shit anyway so we might as well be fun to watch.

You are not wrong in that.
