So the 6th year is where it gets crazy, $60M for that year. His first season is the only cap hit below the highest paid QB in the game. Every other season he is almost guaranteed to be the highest paid QB until at least 2027. Cap Hits: 2020: $7M 2021: $25M ---------- 2022: $31M 2023: $35M 2024: $40M 2025: $42M 2026: $42M 2027: $60M

No player has ever signed a contract more than Matt Ryan's $150M (5 yr deal) or more than Wilson's $35M per year average (4 yrs). Mahomes gets an average over $50M and a total 3x times more than Ryan's. So depending on when the money hits the cap, the Chiefs are going to have to make some huge cuts to their roster in the next few years to get under the cap. Mahomes will take up almost $45M more in cap space between this season and 2022.

I stand corrected, $503M and $477M in guarantees....... I don't care how good one player is, that is crazy money, half a billion dollars!!!!!

Average of $45M a year, $140M in guarantees. I get it, but man. Once this new money hits, how do they field a team worth a damn? Once Wilson's new money hit, he had one WR, no RBs, no TEs, and half a defense. This works out for the team on the 2nd half of the deal, but I would assume the contract is renegotiated year after year until another deal is locked in. A good problem to have, but has this ever worked out before? It seems once a QB gets paid big money, they never win it all again.

That would be interesting, but is 3rd Edge our weakest positional need? I would say O-Line is still a concern, and we don't have a backup RB. I would be all for picking up Golden, but I think he would go to where he can start.

It seems like ever since the Cutler era, we are now a team the national media loves to crap on. Nagy's first season was a fluke and we get to live with the Trubisky mistake for eternity.

I understand their concerns, but the players are less likely to contract the virus in a controlled environment than they in public or hanging out with their buddies.

Cam signed a vet minimum deal. There has to be issues otherwise he would never do that. I am good with the Foles signing given the circumstances with the virus and offseason.

Yeah, huge mansion with overhang that connects to garage.

Same with Jackson, it's stupid. Let them sleep on them.

If you go back to 2016, he is 5th amongst TE's in receptions, yards, and TDs with 0 games missed.

I saw some news about Mack and Smith both training like beasts. Hopefully, it translates to a great season. If those two are better than they were in 2019, the defense is going to be a top 5 unit.

Monty has been getting a lot of praise lately. Most expect him to have a better year this year.

Ridley was also mentioned as a breakout candidate at WR, so that's promising. With them drafting Mooney and signing Ginn. The WR competition for those final spots is going to be tight. Wims may be the odd man out if he doesn't take the next step.

Could be, it just felt off. He went from thanking the organization for believing in him when he was injured (what seemed like every year) and "Bear for Life" to he is considering playing again but if he did, it would not be with this staff. I feel like they were quick to put him on season ending IR and I am sure that he did not like the optics of it.

It seemed to be out of the blue though. He has nothing to gain from the comment, which is odd, because he alienated more people than gained followers. He literally contradicted himself multiple times from previous statements about the staff and the organization. Bear for life, etc. He had only good things to say about the organization until yesterday. I just found that odd. If you read the whole thread and his replies, something is up.

His thread seems to indicate that he is not done with football yet. At 30, a comeback is not out of the question. He just made it clear it would not be with the current staff.

There is a long thread on this, but he basically said it was not his decision. He was fired and didn't quit. He was told at halftime in London (against the Raiders). Very odd. He has stated before that he was a Bear for life, but this paints a whole new picture of the clubhouse. A disgruntled former employee or is there something else to it?

Whoa, I was not expecting this:

I saw this too: "Kwiatkoski ranked 30th in PFF’s run-stop percentage", so that may have been why they decided to go with DT over Kwit.

I could see Monty getting 1500 total if he gets 1000/500. I don't think Kmet gets somewhere closer to 600. Otherwise, the QB would need over 4500 yards to get the receivers those numbers.

That's a great attitude, but he needs to know how to read a defense and look for something beyond his first read.

The knock on Ifedi has always been his lack of experience. He has all the physical traits to dominate. That is what frustrated Seattle so much. So as long as he puts in the work, he can still improve his game.

Last Monday, the team had a zoom meeting in regards to the social injustice and police brutality ongoing issues in the country. Apparently, from reports and quotes from the players, they went into thinking it was not going to be productive, but it turns out that it really hit home for a lot of players. The team's bond strengthened and you could tell that some players genuinely felt like there was progress made. In general, that's great, and for a team that has to rely on each other on every play, that is also a great thing. Nagy has been trying to change the culture and I think that meeting may be one of those turning points, where the team was half in and half out on all the things Nagy was implementing, but now it feels like a bulk of the core players are all in. So we will see if it makes a difference, but I feel like that meeting may have helped multiple causes.
