That’s actually a really good get for that piece of **** franchise.

Not happy about it either.

The only positive is that the Jets will likely to overpaying him in the later part of his deal when he starts to fade.

He is a quick burst guy and when he loses a step he will fall apart.

But he will help them this year for sure.

Maybe he can play QB when Rodgers gets hurt again.

Not using the phrase, 'by himself,' but let's start with the post that started our exchange.
"Two years in a row Miami GM Chris Grier made Mike McDaniel sit tight while he (Grier) took a BPA (both on defense) before swinging back around and giving his Coach a new toy." I don't know how you read this, but I read it as 'by himself.'
A few here want Grier fired because of HIS draft picks <emphasis mine>. There are posts calling Grier out because of his draft choices. Again, HIS.
My points are two. 1) Grier, by himself, makes NO draft picks. He has no locked room where he sets the board without input. 2) Grier is one voice with no dictatorial power in the draft of FA.
I'm confident we disagree, so I see no reason to continue this.

Actually, I think we agree. I just think you read too much into that first post an inferred that somebody claimed Grier was the only one involved in the decision-making. I don't think anybody else inferred that.

Whether others think so or not, that would be a bargain, comparatively to guys like Burrow and Herbert with respect to the cap.

Of course the structure is what matters. But if it's structured like the other 2, that is a huge bargain at 50 per or less. You'll pretty much have a top 5 QB counting for less then 20% of the cap when the other guys are 23% plus. Makes a big diferrence.

To put it in perspective. At 55 per, he would still have less of a cap hit then the other 2

One quality of Tua that reigns supreme is his loyalty and commitment to the franchise. I think that is something that McD earned these past two years. The difference between $45m and $60m a year really won’t impact Tua or his family, realistically speaking. However, the impact it has on the salary cap and being able to build a Super Bowl calibre team is obvious. I believe Tua brings this benefit to the team over the next decade, playing his role in making sure we can field the best team manageable.

I think that's something that many people don't understand. If someone is poor then every additional dollar is important b/c it will make a big difference in your life. But if you're a multi-millionaire then even an additional million or two may not make much of a difference in your life. Additionally, there are other things that will make a bigger difference. For a QB, taking less money to help build the team around you may pay more in the long run. Brady took less salary for years and I'm sure that helped build his win totals and legacy. In the long run that probably added up to far more income.
