Lamar rejected 133 mill over 5 years

But that’s an insulting offer for what he’s done in this league

why would he accept $26m a year and why is that article claiming it’s more than what Wilson got?

But we’d have to know some details before concluding that.

and screwed up the market.

and this is the new one.

Please

This is old news. Was reported last summer.

Yep. Such a Browns' move.

Exactly. Paying 1 player 1/3 of your cap is stupid.

That would be cheap esp late in that contract. Hell Russell Wilson makes more than that.

It was a $260 mill deal with $133 gtd...

was poorly written.

If you go to a link within the link, it clarifies that it was 250/5 with 133 guaranteed.

I'm thinking that is reasonable, but will quickly be eclipsed.

won't be all that affordable soon.

It's the NY Post's reporting ability.

Because they are making it look like they tried so they can tag him probably the non exclusive and take the picks

are overinflated, but in the current environment, 5/$133 is not a serious offer. In fact, it borders on insulting. I guess Balt really doesn’t want Lamar back.

The last thing you want to do as a GM is propose a contract for what someone has done in the past vs what you think they can do in the future.

Have you read the thread at all? It has been pointed out that the $133 mill was his guaranteed money on a $260 mill extension.

...was having a separate cap strictly for quarterbacks which would be a certain percentage of the total salary cap.

I know people really don't like him, and he does say some foolish things, but I think this was a Colin Cowherd idea.

You would think with all the turd recent contracts of Wilson, Murray and the Cleveland Groper, GMs would learn. But of course not.

I agree with you and ……..to tell what my strategy would be on DJ is, make a reasonable offer, maybe or not, scout a mid-round QB . Put ALL your scouts opinions on the table. Discuss where, what round to take 1/2 names . Move on roll the dice and move to the next item on your to-do list. Learn from the mistakes other teams have caused themselves.

I feel that Barkley, for as good as he may be (my opinion only) , has reached his expiration date. RB’s generally have a short shelf life. He might take less $$$ than he might get other places. Let’s roll the dice on him and concentrate on OL, DL, maybe a standout WR and very late P who is consistent!
