You always pay more at the top of that curve than you do in the middle. Each marginal 'win' over a representative JAG comes at a greater cost. Now the question is really - is this a Fant vs. Irv Smith situation? Where Fant may be 20% better than Smith, but he's still not a needle-mover so who cares? Or is this a situation where you're going from Hardman - a gadget guy and speed threat to Brown, a legitimate Z? Because if it's the latter, those are ALWAYS going to cost a hell of a lot more. Even if, in a vacuum, they're not that far apart. Look at it this way. They say that once you make it past like $50K in combined household income, you have to effectively double your income to have a noticeable impact on your standard of living every step beyond that. NFL players are similar. To use that example, going from Jag to Jag+ should be going from $50K to $100K. And from JAG+ to solid bench contributor is $100K to $200K. And from bench contributor to fringe starter, $200K to 400K. And from Fringe starter to regular starter, 400K to 800K. And so on and so forth until you're making MASSIVE jumps to get from 'very good player' to 'all pro'. If Brown is, say, 30% better than Hardman - he's not going to only cost 30% more. Because the lines are so tight between these guys that that 30% is probably 3 to 4 'tiers' over. So you're doubling 3, maybe 4 times. It's just how those marginal returns work when you have something of a bell-shaped player market.

Because $14 million/season for Brown would be friggen outstanding, IMO.

Nope. But he does have one year left on rookie deal but he will want to get paid if traded.

We're acting like Hardman is slow.
And there's nothing saying Hollywood is going to just magically be on the same page as Mahomes, either. You can't just dismiss production when we're talking about a 3-4X multiplier in salary. I'll do the math, but at a glance - Hollywood hasn't outproduced Mecole by *that* much, especially considering how many more targets he's received than Mecole. If we had a metric ****ton of cap space, or didn't need to kick another eleventy billion of Mahomes money down the road just to sign guys, I really would be indifferent. But money does matter, and if I can get 80% of the production and role for 25 cents on the dollar, I'm going that route. |
