Josh Allen is the 1st $100M per year QB….
With 4-$129.554M left on his current contract, Bills signed Allen to a new 6-$330M contract
That’s $200.446 in new money over 2 seasons
Then Josh Allen publicly stated he left money on the table
Entertaining to watch how clueless other sports are in monetizing their product.
Roger Goodell would 💯 have a World Cup match on prior to USA at 9 PM.
Probably on a dopey streaming service, but there’d be content available in the 5 PM to 9
PM window Day 1 of the World Cup.
When Baker Mayfield signed the 3-$100M Extension in 2024, $33.33M AAV was 13% of the $255.4M Salary Cap. An identical deal adjusted for the cap increase would be roughly $40M per yr. Play warrants a higher AAV, but Bucs can't go beyond $50M. Have luxury of letting it play out.
#Falcons Bijan Robinson due $15.067M over the next 2 yrs (Age 24 & 25 seasons).
What's a Fair Extension look like?
Projecting...
4Yrs $89.933M & $44.933M Guaranteed in "New Money"
Total Deal:
6 Yrs $105M & $60M Guaranteed
Under Contract through 2031.
Darnell Washington contract might be the worst deal negotiated by an Agent all Offseason. $10.5M per yr and worst it’s 4 seasons. Shorter Term = Shot at a 3rd NFL Contract earlier. Ascending unique young player. $10.5M is a steal.
Deion Sanders spent 3 seasons in Retirement then came back for his age 37 season at a speed dependent position.
Aaron Donald at 35 years old is still a dominant football player.
It’s a No Brainer. Rams missed on Braden Fiske, bring back AD.
Reading the New York media criticism of Jaxson Dart’s Trump introduction you’d never know 77,302,580 people voted for Trump in the 2024 Election, including 5,547,114 people in New York & New Jersey combined.
So Jaxson Dart gets to publicly express his political beliefs, but Abdul Carter doesn’t? If this is about locker room sanctity and leadership, is it a good idea for the face of the franchise to attend a political rally for a president that is considered to be hugely divisive?
Working as his own Agent, it was Jacoby Brissett that signed the 2-$12.5M deal. Without that 2nd year tacked on, he’s not making $9M in 2025. Cardinals should laugh at his demands for a contract adjustment. Just start Carson Beck.
Giants SHOULD'VE Release Roy Robertson-Harris prior to the New League Yr. Saved $3.35M against the cap & the $1M guarantee would've been offset if he'd signed elsewhere for Veteran Minimum. Tears Achilles in OTAs.
The day Joe Schoen signs an Extension.
The mismanagement of the Roster by Joe Schoen is never ending.
Everyone will say this but I want to say it too: This is part of the reason why the Ty Simpson pick is so confusing. One of the advantages of drafting a quarterback is the insane surplus value you get from their on field production vs what they’re counting against the cap. The Rams will have at least two seasons of that where they are also paying high end quarterback money as well. Couple that with not having a player like Bain, Lemon etc for these last two years with Stafford. Usually on team “Take the Quarterback” but this is such a unique case!

Trump calling the Wall Street Journal the “China street journal” and totally missing the opportunity to call them “The Great Wall Street Journal” is undeniable proof of his cognitive decline.
People complain about different time slots for NFL games. Christmas Day takeover, TNF, 9:30 AM International games, Thanksgiving Eve like they’re REQUIRED by LAW to consume 272 regular season football games.
If it bothers you, don’t wake up at 9:30 AM.
Just spoke with Garrick Higgo. His explanation of the penalty for being late to the first tee: “I always cut it pretty fine. There’s a lot of us who do. We don’t want to get to the tee box 10 minutes early and be cold. … Honestly, cut it too fine. I thought I had a few minutes.”
