Forget about the contract. How much money has he lost in endorsement deals alone because he doesn't have an agent? It's not too late. He could still hire an agent. He deserves as much as he can get but man that would be more expedient with an agent. I think they pretty much pay for themselves. Looki...

Would help somewhat to know how many starters and what positions you use (maybe I'm counting wrong but the team in your sign looks like 11 bench spots?). Also how many rounds is your draft? I am sure that be posted before about how I don't understand the point of a taxi squad in leagues that aren't ...

Excellent explanation mild. Another interesting point is that if I understand correctly until Lamar agrees to a contract with another team Baltimore has no say in the negotiations. So outside of a sign and trade situation the draft position of a team isn't really a bargaining tool for them - though ...

I don't think the owners are evil. I think I have also already stated in this thread (though I have not gone back to look) that they are running a business and of course they are trying to maximize their profit. That's a straw man you are using to mischaracterize the discussion. And of course player...

@Bronco trickle down economics has also been repeatedly proven to not actually work that way. I don't think we need to have much more discussion on this though we aren't going to change each other's mind and it's not really relevant to football at this point.

I certainly don't think I'm an idiot. Strange that only one side of this discussion is making judgements about the intelligence of those who have a different view. I expressly stated in my post that I don't doubt the NFL teams all pay taxes. But I don't really like that the people who have the most ...

To clarify I don't hold it against any athlete for getting paid as much as they can. They just shouldn't also expect a championship caliber team to be built around them when they score that mega contract.

If you think it's reasonable that the richest people in the nation pay some of the lowest effective tax rates among US citizens then you'll never be convinced that players deserve to push how much they make. The teams themselves may be paying a decent amount of taxes. The owners for the most part ha...

Part of the problem I have with Rodgers is that a QB like Brady was comfortable with a smaller and differently structured contract so he could get the weapons he needed. I knew that Rodgers wasn't going to win a super bowl when he signed this most recent contract - the team had too many holes to fil...

Nobody is saying there is proof or a winnable court case etc for collusion. But what thebeast said is at a minimum a plausible scenario. I suspect a likely scenario. Burrow's deal will indeed reveal a lot. I don't think it's necessary to be the best asset in the NFL if you are asking to be the highe...

These guys aren't going to both put up 1k all purpose yards in Det IMO. So it will come down to who stays on the field. It seems like that's more likely Montgomery.

This would be by far the most entertaining outcome both for NFL purposes as well as these boards. Many heads would explode.

I was under the impression that contract negotiations were not supposed to be discussed between teams when a player is under contract. But if I'm wrong about that then sure that can explain a lot. I still think it's very likely owners have discussed verbally their collective desire to not make a hab...

Can we really be sure the team wants Purdy other than a couple of players who were willing to talk to the media? Also other players aren't going to start trouble by then declaring their support for Lance over Purdy. Either way if Lance is winning nobody is going to be saying he should be benched. We...

I agree nothing would be in writing hence there will never be proof. But certainly there may have been a few phone calls amongst owners where things were more indirectly and discretely discussed regarding a general distaste for guaranteed contracts. It is also reasonable that no other team is going ...
