I think the NFLPA has been taking advantage of Lamar not having an agent by pushing him to go all in on this, and whether or not there's active collusion going on I think all the owners are at least side-eyeing each other and shaking their heads. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus ...

I don't really get the collusion angle. There's a cap, owners only have to worry about spending so much as it is. If a contract isn't fully guaranteed, they're just using that money to go elsewhere instead. The money is going somewhere regardless. Also, wasn't cousins' deal fully guaranteed? Watson isn't even the first time it's happened, if it was gonna become a trend then it would've started en masse after cousins. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ...

Cousins' was 3 years/$84m and $28m a year is a whole different ball game from the $46-$50m at the high end today. Granted, the QB market constantly gets reset so even though that was only 5 years ago that was probably a lot closer to high-end back then. --- May you find your book in this place.

Thorn posted... the QB market constantly gets reset so even though that was only 5 years ago that was probably a lot closer to high-end back then.Yeah this is what I was kind of going for. People scoffed (and still do) at cousins deal but I just would have expected more foresight from an nfl team, esp one as seemingly well run as the ravens. What seems outlandish for daniel jones might be totally bargain-worthy in another 5 years and if he's good then the giants look like geniuses. And I would much rather take that gamble on a guy like lamar than on jones. Like would you rather have cousins at 28M a year or jones at 40M a year? I would take cousins. And the ravens, even if they're worried about health, are basically presented the same scenario and are going "no." You just don't do that. You have guys like burrow and herbert who are going to get monster deals next year probably, and the ravens had a chance to jump under that and now they've flubbed that. Now if they want lamar they're paying even more than if they had just bit the bullet and overpaid "some." The bottom line is, if you want a franchise qb, you must overpay. Whether drafted or signed via FA, it doesn't matter. QBs will be overpaid. You aren't being smart by refusing that, you're fighting a money battle that's impossible to win. No one is bidding for lamar "now" but they absolutely will be once the 2 1sts requirement is lifted. If Lamar wants a fully guaranteed deal, he will get it somewhere. You might as well make sure it's you. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard!

What a haul by Ryan Poles! Honestly, love this for the Bears.

And now they don't have to overpay for a mediocre receiver in free agency next week! --- Not changing this sig until the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the grey cup.

Yeah I love this trade for the Bears (Even if I expect them to still blow it in the end because Bears) I really do feel bad for whoever Carolina drafts though. Trading away all of the offensive skill players to get the high end QB who's going to throw to... Terrace Marshall? If Stroud or Young or whoever still had a Moore or a McCaffrey to throw to it'd be pretty interesting, but it really seems like Carolina's setting their young QB up for failure here. ...

As a fairweather Bears fan with limited NFL knowledge, I have decided the best course of action for the Bears now is to rebuild the O-line and D-line through free agency and draft Jaxon Smith-Njigba at #9 so that they can let Claypool or Mooney walk when their contracts are up. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. ...
