NFL contracts are tough for me to understand, what is the point of doing that for Love?
Yeah, from the team's perspective, I get it.I suppose it protects the team if he flops this year or gets badly injured as the 5th yr options are fully guaranteed, so this way if it goes way south the team would save a chunk of money
Yeah, from the team's perspective, I get it.
From Love's perspective though, not really. Sure, he might get two more million, but he could also get 10M less if he sucks.
Each side hedges their bets. Jones did well enough to secure a new deal. If the numbers for the tag hold it would cost around $32 mill for a non exclusive tag. So GB would always have that in their pocket.Its also possible they could have declined the option and make him prove it like NYG did with Jones, so Love is halfway covering himself at least

They aren't sure Love is the answer.And if they aren't sure Love is the answer why let Rodgers go????
AR near the end with GB. Maybe NYJ gives him new life.They aren't sure Love is the answer.
They ARE sure, and correctly so, that Mr Cave Bat is NOT the answer anymore for a team in their position.
Lmao you're my dead cap guru on this board.AR near the end with GB. Maybe NYJ gives him new life.
Sooner or later GB eats the dead cap from AR. So, guess they figured might as well do it now and clear the books once they can find out if Love is the guy or not.

And by that I mean guru of dead cap, not a deceased guru of cap. Hopefully you're not dead. Are you dead?
One of the hardest, coldest, most true facts ever written on this board.Probably just on the inside, like the rest of us
If Williams and Maye are as good as they are hyped to be (unlikely), what team who would finish at the bottom of the standings would trade away a chance to draft their future QB? Only, if some warts come out this 2023 in their game would a team do that.Love either shows promise, or we can trade up like the Panthers did.

Aside from the elite like KC, Cin, Buf, LAC, Jax, Phi, Bal and their QBs, do you think any of Sea, SF, AZ, Dal, NYG, LV, Den, or whomever wouldn't just stay at the top of the draft and take one of those QBs and get rid of the QB that got them to the bottom of the standings?
I mean, if Williams was eligible this draft, I think Chicago moves off Fields and takes Williams.
Goff wasn't talked about the year before his draft like Williams/Maye are.I'm just using this year as a precedent, obviously you'd need the right team to partner with.. But we've seen the Rams trade 2 even though they had Bradford, and he wasn't lighting the world on fire.
So it's happened, just need the order to fall the right way.
