What is you take on NFL contracts?

For the most part, the player realizes that they're not going to get the money in that last year or two of a long-term contract. It's more or less just a BS way of stroking a players ego and giving his agent the claim that he got so-and-so a hundred and forty million dollar contract, even thought it's a normal, going rate contract for five years and then a sixth year roster bonus of 97 million that the player will never collect. I'm glad that the NFL hasn't gone to guaranteed contracts, because I think it would hurt the game. I would, however, like to see some changes made. Maybe making contracts limited to a maximum of three or four years?

The Vikings made out the best in free agency so far this year.  They filled the much needed holes in the running game and offensive line, and got rid of some "dead weight" from the team.\n\nThe Redskins have done the worst out of the teams that have been active in free agency. Sure they got some good players, but the way they worked the contracts, if they don't get to the Super Bowl in the next year or two, they won't for a while. After that, the salary cap will kill them, just like happened to the Cowboys and 49'ers in the past. They pushed to much out into the future and are only looking at the "now".

i usually have problems with who i start/bench..classic example, i am REALLY weak in one plus league in the QB slot...i chose warner in the beginning, that worked well, and backup was clemens cause i thought he would start, well, hoped he would start...warner's out, clemen's ain't starting...so in week 9 i had to choose from joey and vince young...i went with young....\nsigh....joey would have scored me plus 20 pts in the league....vince got me dill....\n\nmore specific, though, i think trade one and two are good trades, just crappy weeks, but i don't like the third trade at all...balt has been insane this year, couple down spots, but overall they are money and johnson, i don't think, is worth the balt d....\n-nny

You pay what you negotiate.  Don't sign anything without negotiating or you are needlessly paying thousands of dollars.

It means that a team can resign that player for the average of the top 10 player salaries at that position.1 year contract and the money is not guarenteed untill the 1st game of the regular season.

I love T.O... he's arrogant, yes, but many NFL players are. I'm sure ALL of this has had to humble him somewhat. He's talented and, more than likely, he'll be "cheap," so I'm sure some coach will take a chance on him. If he does get a contract, it'll be written in such a way to make sure he minds his p's & q's.

lol I kinda find some of these answers funny. Here's the true answer:\n\nWhen a player is a restricted free agent, the team that originally held rights to him have the right to match any offer he's given in order to keep that player. \n\nAs opposed to an unrestricted free agent, who can do whatever he wants (as in he doesn't have to go back to his original team even if they match or beat another team's offer to that player). \n\nDoes that make sense?

I think the salary cap creates parity in the league.  It makes it more interesting to the fans because different teams have a chance each year.  This strenghtens the NFL as a whole.

Are you wanting players/teams to sign up or are you just telling us about it.

I look for Chad to be cut. I doubt he's willing to go from 9 million to 1 million for his salary. Then when some players on his offense says he's like an " egg back there being so fragile" That doesn't help things out either.

Players are paid what the market offers.  Team owners generally overpay players in fear that the player may sign elsewhere.  I don't have a problem with a football player getting $2 million.  The average career of a football player is 4.5 seasons.  If that player is injured, and cannot work, then I can justify their salary.  As long as we the Suckers, keep buying tickets, jerseys, memorabilia and the like, then pro players will be overpaid.

Teams pay millions of dollars for their QB's, they don't want him to run into huge NFL linebacker.  It's not worth the risk of injury and loss of money.

all the revenue generated by the league and teams through tv contracts, team sales (jerseys, footballs, hats, etc) is placed into a pot and then divided equally among all teams. This means that some teams generate more revenue and put a larger amount of money into the pot. Also, the players union wants its share of the money also. They asked for 60% of revenue, meaning that 60% of all revenue would have to be spent on player contracts. Hope this helps

it means the player would have been a free agent, but the team "taged" him as a franchise player.  They have to pay him the average of the top 5 contracts in the league at his position or 20% of his previous years contract.  Whichever is higher.  He is under contract for only the next year.  The team still can work out a long term deal to keep him longer.

If a deal ever gets done with the CBA i think it'll be Miami.  They in the market for a QB, RB, and WR, and there are three big names out there at those positions.  Brees, James, and T.O.  Though that last one may make all the other moves worthless.

absolutly, the any league with a salary cap shouldn't have to offer a guaranteed contracts. Besides these players should be paid what they earn. If they aren't earning their money they shouldn't get it.
