Tribal Chief Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Yet I was told these boys weren't gonna get paid handsomely because Mike Wallace deal set the market lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 This actually confirms that the Wallace deal was a pretty realistic market setter. that's not my point. Unless I misunderstood and that's possible, I was told players, especially these franchise guys, don't get paid like calvin and Fitz anymore and being a franchise player doesn't matter. May not have been calvin money but it's dam sure close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Fitzgerald: 8 years, 129 million, 50 million guaranteed. Signed in 2011Johnson: 7 years, 132 million, 60 million guaranteed. Signed in 2012Wallace: 5 years, 60 million, 30 million guaranteed. Signed in 2013Thomas/Bryant: 5 years, 70 million, 43 million guaranteed. Signed in 2015.Larry was right. Wallace's contract definitely seems to have been the set market to begin discussions. Neither Thomas or Bryant's deals are close to Fitz and Megatron. 2 million off Fitz yearly and 4 off calvin yearly average. That's close enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wjcorner Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 2 million off Fitz yearly and 4 off calvin yearly average. That's close enoughThe guaranteed money and the year signed based on that cap make it bigger differences. Those contracts are definitely based more closely to Wallace's joint over Calvin/Fitz's contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those contracts are definitely based more closely to Wallace's joint over Calvin/Fitz's contractfor clarification purposes, I didn't say these deals aren't based on what Wallace set. I said I was told they won't come close to calvin and Fitz money and even took the opportunity to admit that I may have even misunderstood. I know admitting to misunderstanding things don't mean much but it's there in black and white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpiper Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Stupid. Wide Receivers are abundant in the NFL and teams like Green Bay, New England, and Baltimore have won multiple Championships with average wide receivers. Stupid to pay that kind of money when you can put that money towards getting a o-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-train Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Fitzgerald: 8 years, 129 million, 50 million guaranteed. Signed in 2011Johnson: 7 years, 132 million, 60 million guaranteed.

Wallace's contract definitely seems to have been the set market to begin discussions. Neither Thomas or Bryant's deals are close to Fitz and Megatron. Thomas & Bryant actually match CJ when you look at the guaranteed money & factor in the 2 extra years on CJ's deal.T & B are getting $8.6M/year guaranteed (43M divided by 5 years)So, if they were under contract like CJ for 7 years, it would be an additional $17.2M guaranteed, which would total $60.2M guaranteed for 7 years... which happens to be exactly $200,000 more than CJ is getting.

PK Manley Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 6 years, 88M (52M guaranteed)I think they'll get an extension similar to Dez/Thomas, but if it's an extension rather than an entire new deal, that would effectively be like 6 years, $80 million ($13.3 mil per year going forward).

You also left off Steve Smith Sr, Wes Welker, Matt Slater, Edelman, Amendola, Cobb (most underrated on this list). All of which are probowlers or snubs from the probowl.

peterpiper Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 All those receivers nowhere near what Bey Bey, Dez, and Julio are making or looking to make. And again to pay that much money to a wide receiver is stupid. WR is the easiest position in the NFL to fill and the most expendable. If we pay Julio all that money we are going to have to make it up somewhere else. I say let Julio go and spend the money on the o-line where it would be money well spent. Julio is a injury risk and Detroit/Chicago/Dallas etc.. have all shown just having a big receiver aint going to get you where you need to go. You have to have balance. Defense and running the football wins championships not $10 million a year receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
