I'm wondering if the price for Fuller is a 1 year 5-7.5M dollar deal and then jump back on the market next year when the cap is back up?
LOL. You're dreamin. Peterson just signed a covid deal. There was never gonna be 1yr/$5m bargains from good players. They'd probably just sit out a year
Starting to agree. No real ring chasers. There will be one year deals. But the player will get money. Aj green was nuts. Peterson was a solid 1 year deal for vikes.
I do think you're seeing a ton of shorter deals this season in anticipation of going back out in 1-2 years when the cap booms again.
Guys won't turn down money to sit out a year. NFL players are notorious for not managing their money well and amazingly going check-to-check (especially the mid-to-low tier guys), which is why the NFLPA has never been able to persuade their members to sit out to force better terms in CBA negotiations over the last 30 years.
Will that mean getting a guy like Fuller on a short, cheaper deal? I don't think so, but I'm surprised he's still on the market. There might be teams scared off by his injury history and PED suspension, and hesitant to give him a long term deal.
