He can tell himself that when he's on a terrible team. Money makes everything better.

Very possibly.

The market will respond. Every position can't go breaking the bank. Somebody is gonna get pinched here and if it's WRs making that kind of money, the defensive equivalent at DB may well respond accordingly. And then teams will go cheap on DL so the counter will be cheaper OL and suddenly the cycle will reverse.

It's just a pendulum. This too shall pass.

It's our hobby.

It's their job,

Why wouldn't money be their primary motivation? It should be. This job beats the **** out of them and in 5 years they'll be done with it and won't have much long-term earning potential afterward.

Fine - go play on a terrible team for 4 years, make $100 million and then live the rest of your life in comfort. Because LOOOOOONG after you've moved onto the next draft class and how they can help the Chiefs, Deebo Samuel will be living with the decisions he makes here.

And he's already got a ring....so it's not like he's still searching for that championship.

He'll go down as one of the best deep threats in the history of the NFL no matter what he does in Miami.

I don't fault Hill for what he did. Just like I don't fault Veach for what he did.

Unless Hill rips us to shit and knocks us out of the playoffs, I have nothing against the guy, and I'm glad his trade didn't result in any bad blood between him and KC.

Andy was in the flipping QBs business for a bit there. Maybe the start of something... not so bad

Kyler Murray wants $$ as well. Stars want to be paid.

Everyone rushing to the bank vault to get paid. Can you blame them?

Bad idea.

The whole point of the salary cap is to balance the league and keep top tier teams from keeping top talent locked up.

Let the team decided where to spend the money. A positional cap either doesn't really change things, or it tends to create a loop hole that favors wealthy owners.

And then you add needless complications with the position. What position does Deebo play?

How about that wanna be QB in New Orleans?

Not posting in DC any longer. And I haven't. Lol at just now noticing I've been posting in the Lounge.

Maybe one good WR (If Juju returns to form) and another guy that is a bit better than a JAG in MVS.
Agreed. We need more. But we may not need a superstar.

Well, I hope they enjoy living with the decision to go play for seller dwellers. If winning means nothing then go be a paid loser somewhere. They can go to their private beach sipping margaritas and listening to Jimmy Buffet. Then the thought would occur to them how much their current team sux and how they need another drink just to get it off their mind.

These guys have FIFTY YEARS to live after they’re done being your whipping boy.

By the time they’re 40 how many shits do you think they’ll give about the league that was done with them a decade ago?

It has nothing to do with their ‘current’ team - it’s the literal decades of impact that follow.

But keep telling those jesters how to dance for your amusement. I’m sure your disapproval bothers the hell out of them.

If the rank/file players in the NFLPA were smart, they'd look to get a handle on some of this and perhaps see if there could be ways to create max deals for certain position groups and/or carveouts for QBs.

Otherwise this is only going to get worse for them.
just like the latest baseball deal. The everyday players allowed the players with the $100 million contracts to dictate terms friendly to them. They need to do something about the spiraling salaries or the players on the low end are going to see their low end and opportunities shrink even more.
