Thing is most players they are so happy when they get those big deals and happy first 2-3 years then cry when the guaranteed money is gone and the deal benefits the team for cap and players cry they are underpaid.
NFLPA I think capped agents pay at what 2%?
With cap and tag restrictions the union has little or no power to dictate player movement.
And they also get cut for cap purposes every year or restructure or your gone. And I was specifically addressing the Rodgers contract since deal is in its own way unique
Believe that’s the number and I think it’s 1% on tag deals
And in many cases they are underpaid. But I am not going to paint a broad brush either. Personally I hate the way the NFL cap works but that’s a different discussion
Yeah but they want the market to go up not down every big contract just drives market up
Though on off the field I don't think they are capped to anything are they?
That’s not really the case. It sets the bar to some extent but there is such a difference between AAV & real value it’s why structure matters
Me if you like the early part of the deal be ready to deal with back end or sign short 2-3 year deals get it fully guaranteed get yourself a big of the apple sooner.
