AZ screwed up Adams with the deal they gave Hopkins. Adams now wants his average to be based on that when that contract is out of wack with other top WR deals.It’s called the CBA. And quite honestly it’s also on the players to some extent. The organization and Adams have discussed an extension. Adams wants to be the highest paid WR in the league, fine but it also comes with consequences when you have Rodgers and Bak with “max “ type contracts, you also extended Clark and Jones. And you had to restructure the Smiths to even make that happen. Now factor in you need to find cash for Alexander.
It’s not fantasy football. The bill comes due at some point. The organization has been consistent for decades, cash / cap balance. It’s not only cap mechanics but also balancing cash out with signing bonuses, roster bonuses. Can you mortgage your future and tack multiple void years on contracts ? Sure. But eventually that bill comes due for a longer term.
