NFL 2018/2019 Thread

Dan is extra feisty today...

In other news... We now enter the period of "lack of football depression" where I have to actually go find a life on Sundays.

He's just mad he's got the 2nd best QB in the Bay Area.
 
I am sure Stanford, Cal, or San Jose state would rate above Carr. :laughing

The poor guy has a broken back and hears foot steps in his sleep. He probably got sacked while you read this post.
 
Till cousins signs, then Rodgers, if anyone who should be mad is Brady. Do you think if Brady won they would have given him more then Jimmy g guranteed just for 2018?
 
Brady has taken less on purpose to keep cap space for other players.

It helps that Gisele is worth half a billion.
 
yep. it's a good point, but there will be no crying for Brady. He's fine with all of this.
 
Jimmy Garoppolo deal:‬

‪Signing bonus: $7 million.
‪Guaranteed roster bonus: $28M‬
‪2018 base salary: $6.2M (gtd)‬
‪Workout bonus: $600K‬
‪Per-game roster bonus: $800K‬

‪Year 1 total: $42.6M‬

$74.1M injury guarantee already kicked in.‬

‪2019 base salary: $17.2M, $7.5M of which is guaranteed at signing.‬
2019: Workout bonus: $600K‬
‪Per-game roster bonus: $800K‬

‪For 2019, will make $18.6M for a 2-year total of $61.2M - $10M more than he would have received if he had been franchised two straight times.‬

‪2020 base salary: $23.8M, $15.7M of which is guaranteed for injury. ‬
If 49ers wanted, could cut him before April 1, 2020 and he would have made $61.2M and been a free agent.‬

2020 Workout bonus: $600K‬
‪Per-game roster bonus: $800K‬
At end of three seasons, he walks away with $86.4M.‬

‪2021: $24.1M base salary‬
2021 Workout bonus: $600K‬
‪Per-game roster bonus: $800K‬
If he makes it to NFC Championship game or is first- or second-team All Pro, then a $7.5M injury guarantee kicks in.‬

‪2022: $24.2M base salary‬
‪Workout bonus: $600K‬
‪Per-game roster bonus: $800K‬
‪Total is $137.5M.‬



So, essentially, they frontload the shit out of year 1 and 2 while they have boatloads of cap space, and then can go year-to-year with almost no dead money if something crazy happens and they have to cut him.

Totally a win-win deal.
 
I knew he would get paid but didn't think it would be that much. Maybe a little less than the top QBs, since he's unproven.

Cousins is looking good with this deal! Maybe he'll hit $30MM per year.

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought. Cousins just get even more expensive.
 
According to S. Ruiz over at FTW my 9ers paid too much for Jimmy-G. :twofinger

He almost had me convinced he was correct until he finished the article with this gem:

Either Garoppolo is going to develop into a Brady or Rodgers, where it doesn’t matter what’s around him, or the 49ers have to absolutely nail two or three more drafts. Anything less, and the San Francisco’s ceiling could be “playoff also-ran” for the length of the contract.

No pressure.

Does he even know who the team's top receiver was?
Considering what the other two starting QB did for their 5/6 games I have no problem with the contract. And I have no worry about the 9ers being labeled as "playoff also rans" for the duration of the contract.
 
That was written yesterday before the contract details were released.

It's specifically structured so that there will be a lower cap hit when it comes time to sign guys like Buckner and Foster to extensions.

The point I got from the article was that the author thought the 9ers paid to much because JG is an untested commodity, not that the contract was poorly structured. YMMV :dunno
 
I dunno the whole thing just basically is saying you can't win if you pay the QB a lot of money.

I thought it was a bit more refined: don’t pay a QB until he takes you to the promised land. Meh. Just brushing over the stats from last year and seeing the moves Lynch and Shanny have made since they joined the organization I’m confident it was a good signing and will be worth every penny.

hmmm....there's more than one way to win for sure.

I meant what I wrote, in that it's a lot of scratch for an unproven player. He really hasn't earned this. Matt Flynn had a couple of good games too, and then parlayed that into a gigantic contract. Only to fall flat. I get that the guy has like Never Lost a Game. And he's handsome. And the 9ers have a lot of cap room (that may dwindle quickly with more deals like this). It seems like a hell of a risk.

Hey, best of luck and may it all work out for your team.
 
and it's got an out after 2 years, and is only a couple million dollars more than just giving him the franchise tag twice.

I really wish people would look at more than just OMFG 5 YEARS 137.5 MILLION

Remember when Kaepernick's deal was 6 years and $126M. Yeah, about that....
 
league is fukn weird,

in every other job profession, the senior tadpole gets the most $$$, i just dont understand how qbs now take less to play the following year, when they see their shadow leave and take on massive $$$$.

Id be hitting my agent up for renegotiations!!!!!!!! wtf how can my backup now make more then me, this does not happen regularly in any other profession. Why should i stand and allow it to happen now, fuck that make salary cap space for MEEE, im tom m'fer brady

I guess, i view playing NFL as a $$$ and not a "team win feel good game"
 
well it sure has made multi-pro bowl Carr's contract more palatable.

and perhaps this would also force a team like the Seahawks to pay more for Wilson's contract that he's getting before the next season, thus pushing them closer to the cap ceiling.

it's possible this works out for the 9ers. Ultimately, success on the field will determine if the contract was justified.
