The three-year pact, which kicks in starting in 2028, averages $22.5 million per season, includes $51.5 million in guarantees, plus incentives that could drive the pact’s total value up to $75.5 million.
Escalation, escalation...the $100 million/year QB is getting closer. The rest will follow. Why do teams with fewer high end contract problems like Seattle fly in from out of nowhere to win Super Bowls? For sure the Lions have a couple of handfuls of high end talent. No more excuses acceptable.
Just remember, contracts are back-loaded and most of the back end isn't guaranteed. The better way to see it is the reported contract figures aren't always real because so few players see the final year or two of long-term deals.

After three seasons (not including playoff games);
Barry - 46 games, 43 RTD + 4 PTD = 1.02 TD/game
Jahmyr - 49 games, 39 RTD + 10 PTD = 1.00 TD/game
Only difference is that Barry was the bellcow from day one and Jah shared touches with DM.
I'll be interested to see how they compare after each of Jah's remaining seasons.
Aight who’s next Holmes gonna do a Oprah impression handing out deals now to Laporta or branch too. You get a deal, you get a deal
Whooooo!!!!!! There's our guy. Now hopefully the o-line lives up to him this year.
All that blubbering from that sensationalist fool Stephen A. Smith, for what? For the deal that everyone knew was going to get done to get done.
It's been more than a decade since I've listened to a talking head spewing hot takes. You're not going to trick me to listen to this one.
This makes me want to do the Steven A. Smith equivalent of Rick-Rolling you
That's why you're the man, Justin. That's also why I'd rather pay to read you than listen to him for free.
😂
Never forget it is always about the money.
The salary cap in the NFL is fake
Nah. It's just complicated and the more you read my stuff, the more you'll understand how it works. The money always comes due.

Thanks Justin, I appreciate your cap explanations because it’s tough to understand.
Random question - have you written or can you recommend something I can read to understand how the heck the Eagles do what they do?
Wow you wrote that fast!
Had that one (mostly) ready.
