2025 NFL Off-Season

[El Turco]

I like how 123 mil made him forget about "desire to win a championship"

Meh, can't really blame him. I know they're supposed to want to win above all else, but at the end of the day, this is a business and it's their livelihood, especially since NFL teams drop them like a bad habit the second they don't want them any more. So he's locking up his financial security.

Would be unreasonable to expect him to turn down that kind of money for a chance to win a championship somewhere else where his financial security isn't anywhere near as good.

Nobody blames him for taking the money. He didn't need to engage in grandstanding and make a big fuss about "winning".

There it is!!

Lol what happened to first rounder plus another mid pick? Looks like ol' turco was right again.

Depending on the guarantees that's a ridiculous extension though. In two years Steelers will regret it, Seattle made the right call moving on.

Believe all women? People couldn't wait to jump on Xavier Worthy on a false accusation the moment it happened when the real POS was his girlfriend.

You were definitely right. Jaydubb is in scrambling mode now. lol
Everyone knew for a long time that he wanted out. They were always going to have to talk to DK to get an extension.
You can’t trade a first and pay free agent money to a guy going on his third contract.

Nice try. lol
I said he had Mooney stats last year. Which he did.
I also said DK was a lot better. A freakish athlete I said.
We were talking about how most GMs would view this.
Most GMs saw this as a third. One GM saw this as a second. You were wrong. It’s all good.

Most GMs would not trade a 2nd for Mooney or give Mooney 150mill. You were wrong too. It’s all good, we can be wrong together!!

[Jaydubb]

Then again you never know, if most GMs view dk metcalf closer to Mooney then we might see Mooney get traded for a 2nd and then also get a $150mill extension. Very unlikely, but you never know!

[gambitx777]

That a wild number for DK . I've never been super high on him.

Disappointing that you’re trying to straw man now.
Wreaks of desperation.

Straw man?lmaao You said a 3rd at most and you also said most GMs viewed him closer to Mooney than elite. Both were wrong. That’s not straw man, that’s facts.lol try to deny what you said though I guess, that just “wreaks of desperation”. I’m not denying anything I said, but fact is after players request a trade the value gets lowered so getting a 2nd was best case scenario at that point. It’s closer to what I was saying to be honest if that’s the lowered asking price. He’s also now being paid like an elite WR so neither of those moves seem to be something a GM would think “closer to Mooney than elite”.

Dear god.
Everyone knew he was gone. He was publicly being shopped. DK had to be on board as he had to sign an extension to not be a rental. His value never changed.
This all started by the report saying they were asking for a first and a third. I said it was way too high. You thought it was ok. I was right you were wrong. Now you’re taking everything else out of context to soften the blow.
Grow up.

I never thought a 1st and 3rd was ok.lol go ahead and quote where I said that, I’ll wait. A 1st and 3rd is the asking price, obviously you start high and settle lower, that’s how negotiations go. But when you said a 1st and 3rd is too much I actually said you’re probably right but I also wouldn’t be surprised to see a 1st going back, especially if a mid round pick or something goes the other way. You’re actually doing exactly what you’re saying I’m doing.lol my god. Grow up!

Sigh
Apparently pats fans are upset. The Pats are in desperate need of a receiver and have a ton of cap space but wouldn’t part with a second rounder.

It's actually a 4 year extension. The average is $33m per. He's under contract for 5 years total at $150m. But the extension itself is for 4 years & an aav of $33m.

No shock here, Bengals finally cut Rankins, save almost $10 million against the cap. Guy "had a viral illness" for the final 7 weeks of the season.

And just like that, his viral illness that made him miss the final half of the season was miraculously cured.
