That’s all Brady cared about…he did whatever it took to cheat his way to a win.

No, I wasn't referring to Brady, although you could say that about him.

Another unhappy player of the ravens on offense?

He deletes this tweet but it was what he had said....

DeCosta needs to be more tactful himself…

This was reported a couple weeks ago and debunked by Jones…unless he’s changed his mind. [emoji23]

And Jones is likely to stay with the giants and have at least 40 millions per year....

The Titans are listening to offers for Derrick Henry, per @MikeSilver

Geno Smith stay in Seattle

52 millions for Geno in the first year too

We're not spending nearly enough on our QBs.

Giants still bidding against themselves in the Jones Sweepstakes. Lol.

Some rumors that Stafford could be on the move but I don't know if this is credible or not(this is by Michael Lombardi)....The fire sale for the rams could be a historic one....

New contract for Daniel Jones with the giants....And franchise tag for Barkley...

Not a terrible deal for Jones considering…

It just goes to show you how important the quarterback position has become. Barkley had to literally carry this team on his back whenever healthy enough to do so. His reward for this is being forced to play for roughly 25% of what his quarterback teammate is going to make for just one year with no further guarantees.

If ever there was an example of how the running back position has been devalued, and how desperate teams are for quarterbacks and what they are willing to pay.....this is it.

82 millions guaranteed at signing for Jones

JuJu is likely to stay with KC.....

I don’t know if it’s desperation. Daboll is a pretty good judge of QB…Jones is running the same thing Allen is and doing it successfully. If Daboll thinks the guy has talent, that carries a lot of weight. Daboll may know something that the normal people don’t when it comes to QB play and Jones.

The point of my post was how little Saquan Barkley is going to make when the entire offense has run through him....compared to his quarterback that will make more than four times what he will make per season with a much longer contract.

My point about desperation was speaking to the NFL in general for having to spend outrageous amounts of money for quarterbacks that have not proven they deserve that type of money. Saquan Barkley is clearly one of the best running backs in the NFL. Daniel Jones is not on the same level as a QB as Barkley is as a RB, but Jones is getting all the money.

Your point is well made. RBs almost never get a 2nd contract with their original team. And when they do it's some incentive laden thing where they pretty much have to win SB MVP and play some defensive snaps to make top money. But...I think it is justified to some extent. Barkley has already missed 21 games in 5 seasons. At the same time, Jones has missed 12 games in 4 seasons. QBs > RBs

Good points.

Seems like despite their importance to the on field success of their teams RBs and safeties get hosed on contracts.

I got ya. The NFL has been heading in that direction for a very long time now.

And as it continues, just imagine the discussions here in ten years: " Ok, I understand we need a backup for Kenny, but we can find a cheaper alternative to Bubby Brister III at 20 million dollars. We could get Kordell JR. JR. for no more than 15 a year - a reasonable price for a back-up.
