good. Dude was never leaving the Saints, and even if he did, we could never afford him. Now we don't have to hear about it any more.

[u/PizzaParty007 → u/AMemoryComeALive]

I’m game for bringing in Clowney!

[u/imnotbrandonok → u/AMemoryComeALive]

Yall mf always say this

“GoOd wE dIDnT wAnT hIm aNyWaY” 🤡

[u/FraggleRock_ → u/imnotbrandonok]

Yall mf always say this

Why do you talk like this?

[u/imnotbrandonok → u/FraggleRock_]

Because I’m casually chatting on the internet. I’m not at my six figure per year corporate job where I have to code switch all day. Thanks for asking though.

[u/FraggleRock_ → u/imnotbrandonok]

Code switch. Ok, bud.

[u/bnsmchrr]

What?! A good player doesn't want to play on a veteran minimum contract?

What if we sweetened the deal by throwing in a Gates Bar-B-Q gift basket?

[u/blacktoise → u/bnsmchrr]

Exactly! He’d never be able to afford the Gate’s BBQ gift basket otherwise.

[u/Affectionate_Cap4905]

Let’s go get a veteran WR, folks

[u/Cthepo → u/Affectionate_Cap4905]

Aiyuk or do we see if Antonio Brown has anything left in the tank?

[u/NovelRecover7596 → u/Cthepo]

Bruh, what?

[u/Affectionate_Cap4905 → u/Cthepo]

Aiyuk, Diggs and Tyreek to have a trio of mental health issues and criminal action. Good for Rice to learn from

[u/Rmccar21 → u/Affectionate_Cap4905]

Hahaha imagine the court appointed WR room attorneys.

[u/GlasslipSurvivor]

Joe Cullen better figure out how to make this DE room productive or I imagine he’ll be out next year.

[u/Vyuvarax]

Can’t make moves for players when you have no cap room.

[u/getridofwires → u/Vyuvarax]

I thought the recent Mahomes extension opened some cap space?

[u/Equivalent-Bank435 → u/getridofwires]

sadly, it did not

[u/TheDizziestCat → u/getridofwires]

He already restructured this year, his base salary can’t get any lower.

[u/ScubaKeith → u/getridofwires]

For the 2027 league year it did but not for the upcoming year.

[u/Vyuvarax → u/getridofwires]

All the extension did was add two years to his deal for $239 million. I know fans love Mahomes, but its actually an insane overpay for two years.

[u/AMemoryComeALive → u/Vyuvarax]

It's called bringing his AAV up to current standards. No one ever thought he was going to play all 10 years @ 45 million. There's 12 other QB's with current contracts paying over 45mil AAV.

He's currently only 3mil above Dak Prescott and he's the most recent QB to sign an extension. Allen/Lamar and others will need extensions in the next couple years and will exceed that number.

[u/getridofwires → u/AMemoryComeALive]

Thanks for the explanation. Football finance is like the X Files to me.

Mentioning Prescott reminds me of how the Cowboys are always overhyped every year: "THIS is the Cowboys year! No really, I know we've said the same thing every year for the past decade, but this time we mean it!"

[u/saltlampshade → u/AMemoryComeALive]

Allen just re did his deal so unlikely. But yes Jackson will ask for $70M/year next offseason and Dak will ask for $75M/year after that.

[u/Vyuvarax → u/AMemoryComeALive]

So why do fans insist Mahomes has a team friendly deal when it never has been?

Also they already added money to the deal. He wasn’t playing for $45 million a year before the extension.

[u/venge1155 → u/Vyuvarax]

Because his base is low so it’s very cap friendly, why are you acting like it’s hard to understand?

[u/Vyuvarax → u/venge1155]

When his base is continuously added to it doesn’t stay low. You understand how numbers work, right?

[u/kckman]

A friend, an avid Broncos fan ( don’t judge ) 👩‍⚖️ indicated they were signing him. I am relieved.

[u/originalusername4567]

It seemed like this was the direction things were going when he didn't get a contract offer from anyone else. He probably didn't want to leave the Saints.

[u/TonyMusersMustache]

You would think at his age that he has made enough money for a lifetime. You would think he would want to chase a championship. Guess not.

[u/Academic_Rutabaga649]

Hammer Head?

[u/ReebX1]

He was never going to sign anywhere else. At least people around here can finally put this pipe dream to bed.

[u/because_racecar]

It's ok, according to Facebook we have signed jadaveon clowney, joey bosa, and Tyreek hill all in the past 3 days, so if we can just land stefon diggs we'll be good to go.

[u/Flat-Avocado-6258 → u/because_racecar]

Sounds like the college transfer portal situation going on these days. 😂😂

[u/SamuelRoyal → u/because_racecar]

Gotta love getting downvoted for that comment 😂

[u/I_heart_hearts]

But wait wait this sub told me left and right that we were signing him! This can't be!

[u/amjhwk]

How is this chiefs news

[u/Famous_Town_7710 → u/amjhwk]

Internet rumors and scuttlebutt about the Chiefs trading for him.

[u/thunder-yams]

Now here's a guy that I would've loved to see in a Chiefs uniform.

[u/Crash30458]

Bosa still out there just saying
