I really hope that’s true. I would hate for the Jets to overpay for a below average QB and be in mediocrity for another 5 years. They need to try and hit on a young franchise QB in the draft and build around him.
I wouldn't mind cheaper ticket prices at hawks games, I think they'll be be relevant as long as russel wilson is qb. He was number 1 in touchdowns last year, that's with a non existent run game and a horrible offensive line.
Doesn’t that require the Jets to have a component front office.
Good point. They haven’t had one since I’ve been alive that’s for sure
It seems the contract is team friendly, including an unheard of 2 million dollar a game singing bonus, so correct me if I'm wrong, but he doesn't play a game, he doesn't get the bonus. I also think signing with the first team/offer is a mistake. He acted as his own agent and I think that worked in the 49er's favor given how the contract is structured.
I can see his desire to stay on the west coast, but by the same token, this is a business and he could have gotten a better deal elsewhere [with an agent]
My only concern is, is Keemun's season last year an aberration or is that good?
I think the Broncos was a great fit for cousins as a player, though financially I'm sure it fell far short of what he wanted.
Per Adam Schefter: Kirk Cousins signing with Vikings a 3 year fully guaranteed deal
Vikings are opening Pandora's box with that kind of deal, everyone is going to want fully guarantee now.... Imagine someone like Rodgers going to the Packers and saying hey if that scrub Cousins got a fully guaranteed deal then I deserve one as well.

Holy cow, Batman. $86M, 3 year contract. IMO, they overpaid. Not my team, so I don't care.
I would have cut a deal with Teddy for less money and spent that savings to improve the O-line.I don't think Keenum is as good as last season showed. Remember how Fitzmagic turned Fitztragic on the Bills after signing a yuge contract?
That's one way to play all out. Supposedly Seattle didn't want to give him those incentives so they passed.
I think Sherman the agent really dropped the ball on Sherman the player, but that's what almost always happens when a player thinks he can out-perform an agent. But hey, he's a heck of a lot richer then I am, able to things, I can only wish, so he really doesn't need the $$
He must be doing well with endorsements much like Gronk, he doesn't really need the NFL money, it's just a bonus.
No question, the majority of his $$ is coming from endorsements, but you know how many of these athletes equate respect to money. I don't know if he's one of them, or other factors worked in his decision but at face value it does seem like an agent probably would have worked out a better deal.
I think he plays more for pride than money.

Joe Thomas is retiring. He's the 2nd best OT (second only to Anthony Munoz) I've ever seen play the game. There may have been others who were better at their jobs, but I've only been watching the NFL since 1977. Why make the man wait 5 years? Size him for a gold jacket right away.

Agreed, too bad he squandered his whole career on such a horrible team. The game is just unfair sometimes, then you have scrubs who fall a%$ backwards on teams like the patriots and land on a ring.
