When the first pick in the draft makes more than 90% of the players in the league, the payscale doesn't mean shit.

This doesn't have anything to do with being cheap. Paying a 27 year old RB that kind of money just isn't smart for the franchise. I hope we'll be able to strike a deal, and I know this is probably just his agent coming out with a ridiculous number to start the negotiations high, but if this is really the kind of money he wants, it would be better for us not to give it to him. Unless, of course, all you care about is jersey sales and not success as a team.

No, it's called recognizing a potentially very risky bad investment. If you didn't live in the family basement and had to worry about such economic concepts, you might recognize it yourself.

Whatever. I'm sure your understanding of 80-million dollar contracts is soooooooo much better than mine. What a farce.

The "concept" I mentioned is investments, and recognizing a risky or bad one. I'm quite confident I have a greater understanding of that than you. However, feel free to believe whatever you want. ![]() Paying a (by then nearly 29 year old) RB that kind of money is the real farce, but I wouldn't expect a love struck fanboy like yourself to recognize that either.

LJ won't be 29 until the 10th game of the 2008 season.

So 2 and 1/2 months doesn't count as "nearly"? I'm guessing he becomes an FA, and we don't resign him till near camp, of course. Either way, he's worth big money, but not that kind of cash. No way in hell he's worth it. I wouldn't pay Jim Brown in his prime that kind of cash.
