Atl Falcon Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 To me and I love Grady but will he demand the same money as Cox Donald? Just saying Donald Hicks Cox are the best so where are we going with GJs contract? Dang sure want to keep him...but do we overpay? IMO he’s no where as dominant as those guys. I think the Falcons have a real dilemma at hand. Share... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Grady isn’t getting paid like either of those guys. I am not worried about his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualStuff Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 So you don't pay him and then do what for a DL? Do you think we can just snap our fingers and draft a replacement for him and at least 1 more starter? Try and get 1 guy who would be a guaranteed starter and then fill his spot with a FA which if any good may cost almost as much as him? What is the plan for the DL if we DON'T sign Grady?

DonDaLuvMaker Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Wasn't Donald the highest paid defensive player in the NFL before Mack was traded to the Bears, which now makes Donald the 2nd highest paid defensive player in the NFL? No way Jarrett and his camp will demand that type of money. But he will get paid though. Probably as a top 3-5 DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidecar Falcon Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I think Grady gets Timmy Jernigan type money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm pretty sure we tried to get a deal done with Grady already. His camp probably didn't like it and want to test the market. The way he's playing right now he will light the market up. Trust me. Dimi may be forced into a tag. Either that or another Lofton situation if he tries another low ball move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD dirtybird21 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Grady has never even made a pro bowl. He’s not getting a contract like Donald or Cox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoneOne01 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 He’s a tier below the elites and I think his camp knows that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no I’m not saying don’t pay him and YES we need him....but do we pay him the same as those guys? That was the question.....is he worth overpaying just to compensate our needs. That’s the dilemma we’re in. He’s NOT as good as those guys but I’m afraid he’s going to want that kind of money. Heck I’m prolly wrong and in a panic but AB worries me about his emotional ties vs business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconut1991 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hopefully, he realizes hes not a top guy & takes a deal less than those guys. He's really good, but sorry, not as good as them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 He's a great player. Don't know why everyone is so worried...the dude will get his fair value. No Pro Bowls, but he deserves a top 10 contract. I could see 12 mil a year. Maybe something that looks more like 15 mil with sack and Pro Bowl incentives. If the Falcons FO lets him go I'll be very upset. Best player on an admittedly weak DL. Stick a good DT next to him and watch what he does.

I don’t care about the cap anymore all it is a guide we can do whatever we like.Just make the numbers work and move on.The idea you let it worry a lot of fans mentally plays games with your head.

I am not worried about him trying to demand that sort of money, but no I wouldn't pay it. Again though... him asking for that is kooky talk.
