    With regards to Maye, I think it's also important to note that he had the single worst OL in the NFL along with quite possibly the worst receiving corps as well. I know our OL and WRs weren't really anything to write home about but the Pats were on a totally different level of awful in those...

    To be fair, Kevin was also right on point with his reporting on the negotiations.

    We don't *know* but we do have plenty of data that strongly correlates a receiver being 30 and over with a decline in production. It's just regular old Bayesian reasoning. Could he be one of the very rare outliers? Sure. But there's no reason to assume that he (or any WR) will be.

    I love how there's always someone who comes into a thread and says "You guys should stop talking about what this thread is about" :unsure:

    North of $35m/year and $80m guaranteed is nutso. A 30 year old very good but never elite WR wanted more than a 26 year old who is quite possibly the best receiver in the NFL.

    I think DK and Terry are roughly equal. Both good, neither truly elite. Neither is worth top 5 money, so DK got overpaid. But again, the 2.5 years younger thing really does matter when you're talking about a guy hitting 30. We know statistically that the vast majority of receivers experience a...

    They may have been drafted in the same class, but DK is 2.5 years younger than Terry. That matters. (Also, DK got overpaid like crazy)

    I have a hard time believing that AP just randomly woke up this morning and said "Welp, he totally called my bluff. Time to give him whatever he wants." I'm sure there were concessions made on both sides, but at the end of the day, Terry still had basically zero leverage unless he was willing...

    I think it's perfectly reasonable to always assume the worst when it comes to Califan007 :movefast:

    I don't think it was so much that people thought he was a greedy piece of shit (though maybe a bit delusional, if some of the reports are to be believed), but more that his behavior was petulant and firmly planted in diva territory. In his public comments he came off as whiny and immature. And...

    Yeah I'm very happy that a deal got done, but I also won't ever see Terry in the same way again (not that he gives a crap). He acted like a petulant diva throughout the process and basically showed his ass while proclaiming that he should get more money for being such a great guy. To me he's no...

    Oh, no argument from me on how unwise it would be for Terry to try that, especially with Peters as GM. But thus far, most of what Terry has been doing has either been straight up dumb or has backfired in some way. If he's truly delusional enough to believe the team will cave and give him...

    I would never, ever in a million years have even remotely considered this thought in the past regarding Terry, but now it's legit IMO: I could definitely see Terry holding out for a few games in the hope that we lose badly and it gives him more leverage to demand the huge amount of money he wants.

    Seeing those videos of Terry either 1) being aloof and not interacting with teammates or 2) being mostly shunned by teammates just makes him look that much worse. If it's the former reason, then Terry is acting like a pouty, petty little bitch. If it's the latter, then Terry's teammates'...

    I think Hurts is very good but not elite. IMO the top 5 are the guys who are clearly the reason they're winning and can put the team on their back. Hurts hasn't ever had to do that, and I don't really see him as a guy who can. IMO without a top supporting cast he would be a decent QB, but...

    Usually, where there's smoke, there's fire. There has been plenty of smoke from many people, including some who rarely speculate without some direct insider knowledge, about Terry basically getting big mad because the team doesn't want to pay a 30 year old receiver top 4 WR money. And then...

    And also a year of eligibility if he were stupid enough to try and sit out the whole season. He'd be replaying Le'Veon Bell's brilliant strategic move then. And reputational harm would also come with sitting out even part of the season. How much money is another team really going to offer to a...

    Yeah I actually recall that being said as well - that Caleb would be walking into possibly the best situation that a #1 overall QB pick could be in, because they weren't an awful team. They only had the #1 overall pick because of the trade with the Panthers the year before. Then Bryce Young was...

    If Caleb busts, or even just ends up as decent, and JD continues his trajectory and becomes a superstar top 2 QB, Bears fans will have to be put in a mental ward. They passed on Mahomes for Trubisky and then passed on Daniels for Caleb (though the Caleb thing is much more understandable...the...

    It's interesting to see the differences in guys like Brady and Peyton and guys like Mahomes and (hopefully) JD. Brady and Peyton are like elite classically trained world class concert pianists. They controlled everything that went on around them, obsessively practiced every single day -...
