Justin Herbert - Bolts Franchise QB Official Discussion

I maintain that an NFLer's first chance at a contract (not pre negotiated like the rookie wage scale) is absolutely his business 100% and no one should judge whichever way they want to go. Milk every penny or not, I dare not opine on a man's 1 true chance to cash in.
literally the only thing I won't judge.
By the time their 2nd chance at FA comes, I generally think guys need to chase the ring assuming they've gotten paid.
at the same time, I judge harshly when guys want to renegotiate that same contract down the road.Last edited by 21&500; 06-26-2023, 04:34 PM.2024: Far From Over

Agree on first part, i apply the same to the second. Maybe some guys don’t think a ring is worth $10M, like maybe they see it as the business it is and don’t value a ring as much as leaving their grandkids filthy rich. who are we to tell them to forego $10M so we can see them get a ring, eh?Chiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....

Never mind the $100M endorsement deal is a laugh for 99.9% of players. what world do you live in where a long list of NFL players have $100M endorsement deals? cmon now ...“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

He should just tie it to the cap. Let's say 20% of the cap. I can live with that and every year the cap goes up a little he gets a small raise. No Fuss no muss...
