Baldwin was the one player I was really thinking about comparing contracts with, since I believed they were about equally valuable to their respective teams.Juice is much more valuable than Baldwin, and it's not even close. Besides being more than 4 years younger, he's got better hands and is tougher too. Juice just needs to calm down sometimes. Once he learns how to do that, the sky is the limit. Juice still has HoF potential, that ship sailed for Baldwin a long time ago.
Baldwin makes that Seattle WR corp click. Without Baldwin that is one sorry position group. I actually consider Baldwin to be a bit more like a #1 than Landry without quite fitting the typical profile. That was my major reason for gravitating towards comparing them. Putting up production like the top dawg without the usual frame or skills. Also Baldwin makes about the amount I would offer Landry to start. It will piss him off but help him to understand where the team sees things.
Alas I decided against it because Baldwin is more like my ideal #2 and Juice and ideal slot. So I figured it’s apples to shish kababs
