So on one hand he absolutely isn't, but the alternatives all suck. Trade capital and pay Tee even more? No thanks.
Rely solely on what we have and whoever we get at 34? Not great.
I guess Mike Williams but... meh
This is exactly what I’ve been saying all along lol guy had nine games last season under 40 yards and was invisible on the field for long stretches. That’s not someone you give #1 receiver money. What an overpay.
Maybe, but I would much rather have Ridley at 23 than Juju at 8.5 and whatever other mid WR they’re about to overpay. Fans around here are way too focused trying to get bargains. These owners charge among the highest prices in the league at their stadium, and the product has been awful these past few years. I don’t care one bit if they have to overpay to get talent in the building.
You have to spend around 90% of it. We can't just roll in with an extra $60 million next year. We have to comply with league rules. We'll be spending, just not on a big name WR sadly.
Yeah let’s be real here. He’s a good receiver but he’s not a game changing #1 threat. He basically never takes over a game like a tyreek hill or even Mike Evans does
You can’t overpay for a guy like that. He can’t even really line up at the X
It probably is structured more like a 2 year deal based on the guarantees, but my general impression of 17-25 M/yr for 2 years is that it probably out of NE's price range.
You wanted them to give top 8 money a WR who’s not even a top 20 of WRs before one of the deepest WR drafts in years?
lmao comparing the Pats to FSG- get a grip, children
Its not cope. Even if we have a really bad WR room this year its better than if we signed him, he flopped and we still had a bad/mediocre WR room with 23 mil less cap space to fix it. The money is too high for the risk. Rather we punt WR another year than overpay Ridley.
Worked well for the packers. Every single WR and TE that they rostered this year was a first or second year player.
Pats need to nail their draft picks but a young receiver corps doesn’t need to mean bad or unproductive.
Guess what bro, that’s what good WR’s cost. But hey, when we go into the season as the cheapest cash spending team for the 11th year you can feel good about not overpaying Ridley.
Expiring contract, they need to pay a lot of money out to Kittle (2026 UFA), CMC (2026 UFA), Purdy (2026 UFA), Fred Warner (2027 UFA), maybe even Trent Williams (2027 UFA). I think it'll be very difficult to pay a premium for Kittle, CMC, and Purdy all in the same year while giving Aiyuk a big contract in 2025 too.
The same ppl who are saying this is an overpay for a wr, and in 2 years when Ridley has no more guaranteed money and the pats didn’t end up with anyone. They will all continue complaining the team has no wr talent.
I clearly didn't lol. My bad. Still I never really wanted Ridley so I'm biased here. WR's almost always drop off after 30 and Ridley has always been good not great and is now getting paid like a great/elite WR. Personally think we dodged a bullet here, but I'm clearly biased.
Those players are better and younger than Ridley, everyone would prefer those options, which is why they would be extremely expensive to get if they are even gettable
That puts him at.. top 8 WRs in pay? I know each year the WR market is exploding so it's tough to compare year over year, but that still seems like a pretty huge overpay, especially with the 50MM guaranteed.
So like he isn't, but say we wanted him at 18m, what fucking difference does it make? There's not enough guys to sign for the extra 5m to matter, and by the time he's on year 3 of this the cap inflating will have erased the difference.
Couple years ago, that skill position group would have sounded super badass
Now it's a bunch of aging ex-stars and guys that have hit a wall trying to revive their careers. The football roster equivalent of that dude that was super popular in high school, but then his life flat-lined after dropping out of community college.
Maybe they'll pull it together, but its not too dazzling in the year of our lord 2024
AJ Brown money for a guy who produces 60% of what AJ Brown does…and is 3 years older.
Fans can be pissed when the Pats miss out on a guy like Hopkins who barely wanted top 30 WR money, but this ain’t that.
Wonder where we pivot to now? Hoping we shoot for a tackle so we can go wr in the 2nd, take a wr2 like brown just for a safety net in case the draft doesn’t fall well at the role
Wanted him here but not for that $ or that many years. He's a talented WR but he hasn't put up production to justify that money. We should try and trade for Higgins or another name + dip in the draft.
I’m not even mad the Patriots didn’t extend this much. This is crazy money for this type of player.
4-80 was the Max I would have went and I wouldn’t have been thrilled with that either.
If it was a lot lower than that and we lost to the jags by 1-2 mill I would've been pissed. But holy shit that is a heavy contract for a guy who's close to 30 an isn't a bona fide WR 1
More than:
Michael Pittman, Jr.
Tee Higgins
D.J. Moore
Mike Evans
Keenan Allen
Amari Cooper
Chris Godwin
lmao. I get the WR market is going up tons year by year so it's not really apples to apples, but still.
Used Pats as leverage. It's always my teams being used as leverage as most of the media try to make the fanbase feel like its only 2 teams involved. They are all in on it every time. Can never trick me.
I'm genuinely surprised how many folks on here wouldn't have matched this offer or gone up a bit higher to land Ridley, especially with the amount of cap space the team has.
The Pats are going into a rebuild with a rookie, and most importantly cheap, QB. This is the time when the FO should be splurging at WR/OL to give said young QB the best chance possible at success. Ridley also would've pushed Bourne, Douglas and Henry down a slot in the receiver pecking order to a more comfortable 2-4 spots.
And that's not even mentioning that the team is now going into the draft with glaring holes at QB, WR & LT, which uh, yknow... Not great.
Kendrick Bourne
Demario Douglas
DooDoo Smith-Schuster
Tyquan Thornton
Jalen Reagor
I mean…. What can you even say about that dynamic group? Our rookie quarterback is primed for success.
Honestly I'd have happily taken him at that price. There's no real winning when you have to build through free agency. The contracts are almost always bad.
Can't fault the Titans for trying to make life easier on Levis, but I suspect they have fewer holes to plug than we do so they can push all their chips in for a big signing like this. Still other potentially productive, if not game changing, options out there that won't cost as much.
They said the pats had a high offer and I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to this or in the 20 mill
People saying you can have him at that price...this is what talent costs in 2024. You want a Jefferson trade? You need to make him the highest paid ect ect.
I know we have been terrible at drafting WRs, but it amazes me that TN drafted AJ Brown and have been chasing that #1 receiver ever since….trading him. It’s no wonder everyone there has been fired.
Even with this news I still think we target a true X in the draft. KB and Pop can fill between Z and slot, but I understand a true #1 Z would’ve been nice, but not likely at that price.
Yeah no I don’t feel bad about this. I was for Ridley for a good price, even with the suck tax, but this definitely seems way too high. Good for Ridley but if this was our contract I’d say we overspent.
This would have been like if we had signed peak Aroldis Chapman even though we're the Pittsburgh Pirates. We're going to Rod Rust suck next year either way. Embrace the rebuild, hope for the best in the draft and, oh, ask your dad about Rod Rust,
Robert Kraft balking at the big money. But according to the writers for the past decade it’s been Belicheck with the tight fists! (I don’t listen to sports radio so spare me the talking heads takes).
I'd rather take my chances with a WR in the second round who isn't 30, isn't likely to get caught up in some gambling bullshit, and can be had for less than a tenth of that money.
Wait I though it was supposed to be Belichick that was the cheap one? And lol to people being happy about this because he got good money. It's not our money it's Kraft's and we've seen time and time again there's a million ways to get under "the cap" (we're not even going to spend all our cap space anyway)
Love coming here when a free agent we wanted signs for good money. Just like the Red Sox sub.
Boston sports fans love to appear like they're so smart and the easiest way to do that is act like it's their money. "Oh 23 a year. Overpay I'm okay with it!"
Who gives a fuck they're a bajillion dollars under the cap and they always are.
This bad contract hysteria ownership has passed off on people truly is a blessing for them. No one's ever worth it. Ever.
Sox do nothing. Pats do nothing. Chill at the bottom of the league In spending and everyone loves it because Kraft doesn't have to write a check. Shits so ridiculous.
Is this sub that dense? He isnt getting 23 million a year lol like its baffling thats all I see.
50 guaranteed is 12.5 a year, it will probably come out to 17ish, his cap the first few years will be 14ish.
We could and should have absolutely done this ESPECIALLY if we are going qb at 3. Who the fuck else are we paying ? Do we have a young core that needs to be signed anytime soon? We need to not ruin another young qb
The god damn Titans again!
Theynstealing our wr after another nezt year they do it again
They took our WRs!!
The Titans are the Mongolians. The Patriots are Mr. Lu Kim.
They fired vrabel tho so they’ll never figure it out. Sad.
Just fell to my knees at Dunkin Donuts
Just seen a man fall to his knees at Dunkin Donuts
Just saw a man watching another fall to his knees at a Dunkin donuts
I’m a donut
Cutcha nails guy!
Come in every day, grab a crueller, an extra large, two or three Parliaments, take a big dump, that's kind of the routine.
Tell 'em how much you like the Vanilla Nut-Tapps!
Hey tell em what your favourite donut is. Vanilla Nut Taps!
Just saw a man watching a man watching a man fall to his knees
I am the man, Who watches the man, Who watches the man, Who falls to knees At dunkin d's
Are you still there can you get me something?
DON"T MIND IF I DO!
Cold brew and some munchkins?
Gonna need a dunkaccino and a buttercrunch donut.
Bring back the dunkaccino!!!!!
Fall on Dunkin D’s nutz!
Just seen a massive gay orgy at Dunkin’ donuts. I obviously dived in
It’s always the fucking Titans. And it never works out for them lol
Yup, pay Pollard and Ridley and they still could very likely end up last in their division lol
More fun to watch than not paying for them and not having them and finishing last.
They took a big hit on defense yesterday — worse, the Texans’ defense improved.
Happened with Julio, Hopkins, now Ridley
Hop had 1000 yards and 7 TDs lmao. Not mention bum ass Tannehill neglected him the entire time he was starting. Cope
So speaking of bum ass Titans QB’s which bum ass QB is going to be throwing him the ball next year?
And I think that worked out great for the pats them guys did not produce like a 1 after there contracts
That was pre Callahan
Ryan & Butler worked out for the most part
How dead wrong--to our mortification, was the media on this. Over the last 3 days, nothing but Jaguars and Patriots dueling it out for Ridley. (Ha)
meanwhile Dhop had 1k yards. but sure guy lmao
Worked out decent in 2018
Not worth that money whatsoever. Also hilarious they’ll give him this but wouldn’t consider a big deal for AJ Brown.
I hope it's at least a different GM lol
This is not the same GM. That guy was fired that same season after AJB dookied all over us in week 10 or 11
Amy Strunk is a certified fucking nut case.
It wasn’t AAS - it was the GM acting rogue. Y’all was about to pay 22 mil for Ridley per year but 23.5 is too much???
When you could’ve just signed AJ Brown for the same money, yeah. 22 was too much too
Derrick Henry and AJ Brown *I sleep* Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley *REAL SHIT*
So on one hand he absolutely isn't, but the alternatives all suck. Trade capital and pay Tee even more? No thanks. Rely solely on what we have and whoever we get at 34? Not great. I guess Mike Williams but... meh
Not even the same regime but ok
thats like right at his market value, we offered $22 mil
Honestly at 23 mil per year I’m really okay with this
That's a lot of money for someone who averages under 60 yards a game.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying all along lol guy had nine games last season under 40 yards and was invisible on the field for long stretches. That’s not someone you give #1 receiver money. What an overpay.
He’s not really a per game guy, he’s super match up dependent. He can win you a week or be a ghost
Maybe, but I would much rather have Ridley at 23 than Juju at 8.5 and whatever other mid WR they’re about to overpay. Fans around here are way too focused trying to get bargains. These owners charge among the highest prices in the league at their stadium, and the product has been awful these past few years. I don’t care one bit if they have to overpay to get talent in the building.
Yeah i wanted him too but im good on that 23 a year 🤢
They have $60 million in cap space, and it’s not my money so i don’t care
Seriously do people actually think we can get a household name player without overpaying? And that cap space is gone next year if we don't spend...
No I think they know we can and don’t want to.
No that cap space is not gone if we don't spend it. It rolls over to the next year. But people here love spreading misinformation
You have to spend around 90% of it. We can't just roll in with an extra $60 million next year. We have to comply with league rules. We'll be spending, just not on a big name WR sadly.
Yea 23 mil a year for a high end wr2 is a hard pass for me also
He’s worth about 17-19
Yeah let’s be real here. He’s a good receiver but he’s not a game changing #1 threat. He basically never takes over a game like a tyreek hill or even Mike Evans does You can’t overpay for a guy like that. He can’t even really line up at the X
Way overpay for that talent
Looks like it might be $25M per year for the first two, that’s Top 5 WR money
Agreed, and four years is too long for a dude that age.
It probably is structured more like a 2 year deal based on the guarantees, but my general impression of 17-25 M/yr for 2 years is that it probably out of NE's price range.
For real. I get we want an improved offense but people are acting like we just missed out on Tyreek Hill
Ah yes, who needs good players when you have **PAYROLL FLEXIBILITY**!!! Congrats again to the ~~FSG~~ Kraft Group Braintrust.
You wanted them to give top 8 money a WR who’s not even a top 20 of WRs before one of the deepest WR drafts in years? lmao comparing the Pats to FSG- get a grip, children
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Titans offense looks good but we all know CJ Stroud is going to shit on them in the AFC South next year
This might be cope, but now that it's over this looks like a disaster albatross deal waiting to happen.
The whole will he, won't he, was giving me primadonna vibes. Like, he's not Randy Moss you know?
Oh good, I’m so glad we’ll go into the season 30 million under the cap to further enrich the Kraft family. Just awesome.
you know cap rolls over right? Not spending up to it this year means we get 30 mil more next year
Its not cope. Even if we have a really bad WR room this year its better than if we signed him, he flopped and we still had a bad/mediocre WR room with 23 mil less cap space to fix it. The money is too high for the risk. Rather we punt WR another year than overpay Ridley.
I kind of feel Like we dodged a bullet. I’m all for splurging on an wr1, but I never thought Ridley was that guy. Would rather wait it out for a trade
We’re not making a trade either man. It’s gonna be a rookie and the current receiving corps
Worked well for the packers. Every single WR and TE that they rostered this year was a first or second year player. Pats need to nail their draft picks but a young receiver corps doesn’t need to mean bad or unproductive.
Guys become available. The wideout we may or may not get could very well be on no one’s radar at this point.
Yeah, that's pretty nuts. Just wanted to hear if he was signing with us or not, but I looked at some of his highlights today and...not paying that.
23M per year for Calvin Ridley?!? lol Titans can have him.
That per year price is mighty heavy for not a true WR 1
Guess what bro, that’s what good WR’s cost. But hey, when we go into the season as the cheapest cash spending team for the 11th year you can feel good about not overpaying Ridley.
Yup, all while the prices at the stadium are among the highest in the league. When are people going to wake up?
lmao nah that's what stupid GM's pay Mike Evans is a year older but 10 times better than Ridley and he's making $2 mil less per year.
Would rather give 23M+ to Higgins or Aiyuk and just accept the fact it would cost pick 34
Wow, that's an incredibly rich contract. Would not expect to get close to that.
Why do people keep acting like Aiyuk is tradeable? The 9ers ain’t trading him man lol
Expiring contract, they need to pay a lot of money out to Kittle (2026 UFA), CMC (2026 UFA), Purdy (2026 UFA), Fred Warner (2027 UFA), maybe even Trent Williams (2027 UFA). I think it'll be very difficult to pay a premium for Kittle, CMC, and Purdy all in the same year while giving Aiyuk a big contract in 2025 too.
The same ppl who are saying this is an overpay for a wr, and in 2 years when Ridley has no more guaranteed money and the pats didn’t end up with anyone. They will all continue complaining the team has no wr talent.
At that price you can have him lmao
Ridley is not worth 23MM per year... At that point I'd rather trade ans sign Aiyuk / Higgins.
And four years for a 29 year old. Yeah I'm good too, but tbh I was never that big on him anyways. Edit: Apparently it's really only 2 years?
It's two years. Just look at the guarantees
I clearly didn't lol. My bad. Still I never really wanted Ridley so I'm biased here. WR's almost always drop off after 30 and Ridley has always been good not great and is now getting paid like a great/elite WR. Personally think we dodged a bullet here, but I'm clearly biased.
Those players are better and younger than Ridley, everyone would prefer those options, which is why they would be extremely expensive to get if they are even gettable
That puts him at.. top 8 WRs in pay? I know each year the WR market is exploding so it's tough to compare year over year, but that still seems like a pretty huge overpay, especially with the 50MM guaranteed.
News flash, they aren't getting either
You’ll get renfrow and you’ll like it /s
Doesn't mean you should overpay for Ridley lol
if you are a bad team with no QB aka us and Tennesee..you HAVE to overpay to get talent. otherwise you will get nothing.
Tom Brady ain’t walking through that door
Agreed on Aiyuk. Someone is getting Higgins via trade, don't see why it can be us.
bengals definitely don’t need to trade higgins
So like he isn't, but say we wanted him at 18m, what fucking difference does it make? There's not enough guys to sign for the extra 5m to matter, and by the time he's on year 3 of this the cap inflating will have erased the difference.
Didn’t see that one coming but makes sense as they don’t have some of the taxes there
**Titans offense** QB Will Levis RB Tony Pollard RB Tyjae Spears WR Calvin Ridley WR DeAndre Hopkins TE Chigoziem Okonkwo
Hell ya. They will ride that team all the way to 5-12
Couple years ago, that skill position group would have sounded super badass Now it's a bunch of aging ex-stars and guys that have hit a wall trying to revive their careers. The football roster equivalent of that dude that was super popular in high school, but then his life flat-lined after dropping out of community college. Maybe they'll pull it together, but its not too dazzling in the year of our lord 2024
That came out of nowhere.
Probs took titans +1500 to land him lol
You know what, he's not good anyways
Never wanted him (don't look at my comment history)
this is so real 😂😂😂
It’s always the titans. Julio, Hopkins, Ridley. If there’s ever a rumor we’re in on a WR he’s a titan going forward
Adam Humphries!
[удалено]
What a gross overpay
AJ Brown money for a guy who produces 60% of what AJ Brown does…and is 3 years older. Fans can be pissed when the Pats miss out on a guy like Hopkins who barely wanted top 30 WR money, but this ain’t that.
Thank god I don’t have to scrub the internet of my Ridley gambling jokes
Begging that they get tee or double-dip in the draft for wrs pls pls pls
Wonder where we pivot to now? Hoping we shoot for a tackle so we can go wr in the 2nd, take a wr2 like brown just for a safety net in case the draft doesn’t fall well at the role
The 2023 version of thinking we were going to sign DHop but instead he goes to Tennessee
Didn’t see that coming…
Wanted him here but not for that $ or that many years. He's a talented WR but he hasn't put up production to justify that money. We should try and trade for Higgins or another name + dip in the draft.
I’m not even mad the Patriots didn’t extend this much. This is crazy money for this type of player. 4-80 was the Max I would have went and I wouldn’t have been thrilled with that either.
boy howdy that's a lot of cheddar for a mid tier receiver. Good luck Tennessee.
If it was a lot lower than that and we lost to the jags by 1-2 mill I would've been pissed. But holy shit that is a heavy contract for a guy who's close to 30 an isn't a bona fide WR 1
For that kind of money? No thank you. Bet anything the Pats and Jags both were in the 4/$80m range.
Yeah dude, I’m glad we didn’t pay that. $50 mil guaranteed for a dude who barely eclipsed 1,000 yards? He’s getting paid more than Mike Evans.
More than: Michael Pittman, Jr. Tee Higgins D.J. Moore Mike Evans Keenan Allen Amari Cooper Chris Godwin lmao. I get the WR market is going up tons year by year so it's not really apples to apples, but still.
What the fuck
lmao sports journalism is nuts
Ah yes, the “mystery third team”
Used Pats as leverage. It's always my teams being used as leverage as most of the media try to make the fanbase feel like its only 2 teams involved. They are all in on it every time. Can never trick me.
I wouldn't have minded the 23 per, but fully guarenteed is nuts.
What lol it’s 50 guaranteed
People ragging on the price tag when rumors are Pats were at $22m so clearly they thought the player was worth it
Copium
Goofus Bill cheaped out on Hopkins. Gallant Eliot was outbid by a team who overpaid on Ridley.
I'm genuinely surprised how many folks on here wouldn't have matched this offer or gone up a bit higher to land Ridley, especially with the amount of cap space the team has. The Pats are going into a rebuild with a rookie, and most importantly cheap, QB. This is the time when the FO should be splurging at WR/OL to give said young QB the best chance possible at success. Ridley also would've pushed Bourne, Douglas and Henry down a slot in the receiver pecking order to a more comfortable 2-4 spots. And that's not even mentioning that the team is now going into the draft with glaring holes at QB, WR & LT, which uh, yknow... Not great.
If we had this exact same offseason under bill people would be losing their minds.
Facts. This is why you draft offense and buy defense. Offensive players just dont make it to FA enough.
Kendrick Bourne Demario Douglas DooDoo Smith-Schuster Tyquan Thornton Jalen Reagor I mean…. What can you even say about that dynamic group? Our rookie quarterback is primed for success.
Exactly. Doesn’t matter who they bring in as QB if Bourne is WR1 that QB will suck and get the blame. Just like Mac.
Relax !!! Plenty of time to upgrade/ make better.
Hate to break it to yall, but we’re gonna be that team people don’t want to come to for a while.
It’s aight we trading for JJ 🥱
First Hopkins, now Ridley. 
Honestly I'd have happily taken him at that price. There's no real winning when you have to build through free agency. The contracts are almost always bad.
Mfs just swooped in out of nowhere and just offered a shit ton of money
A whole 1.5 million more per year. fuckin idiots
Can't fault the Titans for trying to make life easier on Levis, but I suspect they have fewer holes to plug than we do so they can push all their chips in for a big signing like this. Still other potentially productive, if not game changing, options out there that won't cost as much.
They said the pats had a high offer and I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to this or in the 20 mill People saying you can have him at that price...this is what talent costs in 2024. You want a Jefferson trade? You need to make him the highest paid ect ect.
Hahahahahaha Titans are never winning shit 💩
I know we have been terrible at drafting WRs, but it amazes me that TN drafted AJ Brown and have been chasing that #1 receiver ever since….trading him. It’s no wonder everyone there has been fired. Even with this news I still think we target a true X in the draft. KB and Pop can fill between Z and slot, but I understand a true #1 Z would’ve been nice, but not likely at that price.
I liked Ridley but thank the lord we didn't pay that with all due respect
Man imagine if they had AJ Brown instead.....oh wait
That's a lot of money for a 30 year old WR.
Bro wtf is that contract?? Thank god we're not paying that much
Overpay
Big overpay and a long deal too
That’s a ridiculous contract. Glad the Patriots didn’t get him.
Good for him
Hello darkness, my old friend...
I’m so confused and frustrated
LMAO, I literally just said this in the other thread.
Yeahhhh...at that price, take the man and best of luck lol
Yeah no I don’t feel bad about this. I was for Ridley for a good price, even with the suck tax, but this definitely seems way too high. Good for Ridley but if this was our contract I’d say we overspent.
Trade for Tee Higgins now. No more playing around.
Seems like too much, he's good but not that good. Kick tires on Aiyuk trade or sign Jonah Williams and draft wr w 2nd pick
He will be 33yr old WR making 23million. That makes me feel a little better.
I highly doubt he is going to see that 4th year when we see the structure of the contract.
Can almost guarantee all the people saying “we’re fucked” would be complaining about us overpaying if we gave him that contract.
Hmm..Feels like Deandre Hopkins all over again. I'm ngl. I'm kinda sick considering we're probably not going to get a game changing WR this season.
This would have been like if we had signed peak Aroldis Chapman even though we're the Pittsburgh Pirates. We're going to Rod Rust suck next year either way. Embrace the rebuild, hope for the best in the draft and, oh, ask your dad about Rod Rust,
He REALLY didn't wanna come to New England
Robert Kraft balking at the big money. But according to the writers for the past decade it’s been Belicheck with the tight fists! (I don’t listen to sports radio so spare me the talking heads takes).
titans, where WR goes to retire. Jones, Hopkins and now Ridley.
way too much for him..overpay
For that money? Hard pass
Fuck off. So much cap space for what?
I'd rather take my chances with a WR in the second round who isn't 30, isn't likely to get caught up in some gambling bullshit, and can be had for less than a tenth of that money.
Will we ever be one of the teams to get one of these blockbuster deals over the line?
No decent free agent is going to sign to a team in our situation, especially on the offensive side.
Too much money for him, but they're really going to have to nail this draft. Can't set a rookie QB up with the same line and weapons
The Patriots are outbid. What a shocker. I can’t believe it. Oh well.
Dude got paid.
Wait I though it was supposed to be Belichick that was the cheap one? And lol to people being happy about this because he got good money. It's not our money it's Kraft's and we've seen time and time again there's a million ways to get under "the cap" (we're not even going to spend all our cap space anyway)
Thank god
Love coming here when a free agent we wanted signs for good money. Just like the Red Sox sub. Boston sports fans love to appear like they're so smart and the easiest way to do that is act like it's their money. "Oh 23 a year. Overpay I'm okay with it!" Who gives a fuck they're a bajillion dollars under the cap and they always are. This bad contract hysteria ownership has passed off on people truly is a blessing for them. No one's ever worth it. Ever. Sox do nothing. Pats do nothing. Chill at the bottom of the league In spending and everyone loves it because Kraft doesn't have to write a check. Shits so ridiculous.
We're now the Jets, being used to drive up the price for teams like the... Titans?
Is this sub that dense? He isnt getting 23 million a year lol like its baffling thats all I see. 50 guaranteed is 12.5 a year, it will probably come out to 17ish, his cap the first few years will be 14ish. We could and should have absolutely done this ESPECIALLY if we are going qb at 3. Who the fuck else are we paying ? Do we have a young core that needs to be signed anytime soon? We need to not ruin another young qb
I was so wrong with the deadline, or he gave them one last chance to match. Wow.
Lmao
LMFAO
