I mean, sure, if you want to look at it that way. QBs are going to get paid, so if you have one that's actually worth a damn, you had better do some good budget planning. Their salaries are not going backwards.

I'm not sure for how long though. At some point the other players are going to get fed up with guys taking 25-30% of the ca, while the team and other players end up suffering from lack of cap space. I think it will at some point end up similar to the rookie salary cap. Vets were getting pissed because they couldn't get a decent salary because of massive contracts to one player. I think we'll see the same again when winning teams are almost impossible to build because 3 or 4 players are making more than the other 49.

Not hiding but I don't live on the Huddle either. He got his deal done. Good for him. He was also reprimanded by the NFLPA for using a non approved agent in his negotiations and teams were told not to converse with a non approved agent. 

He got his deal, and it wasn't a fully guaranteed deal like he had been asking for according to DeMaurice Smith, head of the NFLPA. 

And no matter how much you want to taut that he got his deal done, the simple fact is he missed out on probably 70-80m in the past 2 years by not having an agent. And we also don't know the fine details of that contract so it may not be as good as the numbers suggest. 

I'm still happy that we didn't give up 3 1sts plus and that size contract for him. Doesn't change anything for me.

I can respect your opinion even though I disagree with it.

 

Now on to the draft!

We even disagree on who to take but that's all good too. As long as it works out for the Panthers and we hoist a couple Lombardis, I don't give a poo.

Pretty hard to be made with $185 million guaranteed...

A lot of posters were adamant this wasn't likely to happen.
