I agree with the sentiment about choosing to play out his final year of rookie contract is silly when you have so much sitting in front of you as far as guaranteed money and salary increase THIS YEAR!
He can literally go from making less than 1mil this season to a solid 8-12mil salary AND the guaranteed/signing bonus. He will make so much more (over what projects to being a long and successful career) doing a deal this year, getting to his 3rd contract one year earlier which will allow him to take advantage of being 28-30 instead of past the savvy vet stage of his career and into the declining star.
Basically getting paid a year early is better for short term (ripping up rookie deal and get better pay today) as well as long term (get to next contract before he becomes too old to command good money/decent length of contract
The problem here is that its a pretty foregone conclusion that Devante is about to be a monster. When that happens, if we've already given Jarvis his contract, we are basically forced to let Devante walk bc we will have too much money on the books with Stills and Landry...at least this is the way I see it. If im wrong please tell me bc I would love to be wrong here. I'm hoping we can keep all 3 of these guys for at least a few years but im not sure we can with all 3 playing at a high level. Truth be told though if Parker lives up to expectations, he will be more valuable as a true #1 than Landry could ever be
If the dolphins pay him top 5 money with DVP on our roster, then I understand why ppl think our management sucks.He's betting on himself. As he should be
I don't think he has anywhere near the talent or the heart of LandryIf Caroo can, somehow, prove to be the WR he was in college then I believe that they let Landry walk if he wants too much money. I believe he has the talent but not the heart as Landry. We shall see
Every time Landry was targeted 10 or more times
last season our team won 1 out of 7 games
The rest of the season Landry averaged 6 targets per game
and we went 9-1 in those games
That should be set in motion already. Runningbacks are basically used up by the time they can get paid if they are not a first round pickIf he got hurt this year, as in career threatening, i would be surprised if that did not set in motion a players association dispute on rookie contracts, and what to do when guys are grossly outperforming them.
Would be a shame for all involved, thats for sure
This only means we target him when the other team has a good game plan or out matches us.Every time Landry was targeted 10 or more times
last season our team won 1 out of 7 games
The rest of the season Landry averaged 6 targets per game
and we went 9-1 in those games
6 or less receptions for Landry in a game and we're 8-1
