"Newton's 2016 cap value ranks 10th among quarterbacks at $19.5 million.

He ranks behind New Orleans' Drew Brees ($30 million), Manning ($24.2 million), Roethlisberger ($23.95 million), Atlanta's Matt Ryan ($23.75 million), Flacco ($22.55 million), Detroit's Matthew Stafford ($22.5 million), Rivers ($21 million), Dallas' Tony Romo ($20,835,000) and Washington's Kirk Cousins($19,953,000)."

Damn, I love G-man. MVP less of a hit that Stafford, Romo, Ryan, Manning (the sucky one), and Kirk frikin Cousins.  Ha!

Extending Cam last year and adding a $7.5 million roster bonus to the last year of his rookie deal (2015) helped a lot. The next five years he will make $19.5 million, $21.167 m, $21.5 m, $23.2 m, and $21.1 million. Even Cam's most expensive year of $23.2 million is still below Breesus, Eli, Rapelisberger, and Matty Icemelt's earnings this year

I also credit Rivera and staff for creating an atmosphere these guys take pride in and want to be a part of. The things you have seen take place with our FAs and the words you hear from Jarred Allen are a direct result of this. The next time you hear someone trumpeting some jackass  to join the team realize what an important role team class and chemistry plays.

How incredible to be a fan of a team where I love and root for the GM just about as hard as I root for the biggest stars among the players!

DG is a rockstar.

Gettlemans a blessing for this team hes hands down the best gm in the nfl and turned us around big time.  Cant wait to see who we pick for the draft

He was in the first year of his deal. Most of those players are not. 

You do realise that newer contracts usually mean more money thanks to inflation and an ever rising Cap. He signed a deal comparable to Matt Ryans, and that contract was written 2 years prior. After Cams MVP season its a flippen bargain. Cant wait to see what Luck signs for. Irsey was already prepping the fan base for some biggest mega contract ever, like thats something to be proud over.

I havent seen Luck's name uttered since like... week 8 of the regular season.

re: an actual good article from david newton, he's a good writer. just don't expect him to know what he's talking about when it comes to things happening on the field. he only knows what those people actually watching and who know what they are talking about who aren't tired of answering "what just happened?" tell him.

about this article....yeah, makes me all kind of happy. hurney magic would have had him the top paid every year and/or backloaded to the point of crippling the team. this isn't a trash hurney comment, just a happy comment that we don't have a guy that feels it necessary to overpay and doesn't have us in the situation that the saints are in. i love being on the outside looking in at that contractual dumpster fire.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
