Nothing but down hill from here I'm afraid. Thanks Jerry. mtmuley
For sure, definitely some anxiety over it as a Packer fan. But I think they did what they had to do with the situation they were in.
*The one comparable situation that stands out in my mind, at it gives me heartburn to even think about. Matt Flynn played one good game. Threw 6TDs, and Seattle signed him to a stupid amount of money (for Matt Flynn. It wasn’t in the same universe as $200m, but still…). I’m not sure he ever started a game for them.

The "value" of players sure has benefitted some that weren't worthy of "value". mtmuley
Agreed. Regarding Jordan Love, whether it was a good move or not boils down to the Packers hanging up #14. We shall see.

Ed Donatell's vikings defense made Daniel Jones $35M a year. I wonder if he at least sends him a Xmas cardBad night for the Cowboys defense and the checkbook came out.mtmuley

As does Purdy and a year later CJ Stroud - CJ will be first $60M player unless Mahommes forces the issue.

Scott Mitchell did something similar. And then there is Garroppalo in a similar zip code. But like you said, a lot less $$.
But I agree Pack had little choice - somebody would have (over)paid him next year and they had no plan B.

I would say none. They are all vastly overrated, imnseo.
Dak will crush those numbers if he has a season like last year and becomes a free agent. mtmuley

It's the race to $60m - Brock, CJ, Dak, Mahommes or Allen getting testy . . . . one will get there first. And the door prize will be the guy right after him that gets $61M
Exactly. The market is ramping up. mtmuleyIt's the race to $60m - Brock, CJ, Dak, Mahommes or Allen getting testy . . . . one will get there first. And the door prize will be the guy right after him that gets $61M

We are fast approaching the Reganesque strategy of football - make the other guy spend himself into oblivion, while carefully managing a sane (with caveats to the definition of sanity, ala' Regan) fiscal policy that allows you to effectively overwhelm your opposition with a well balanced, sustainable portfolio of fiscal responsibilities.
One more beer should do it, and I'll solve every problem known to mankind.

I would say that at this point, none of them are until they win a ring. In my opinion, Joe Burrow is the best QB on that list at this point in time.

The salary cap is way too high to save the commies. Effectively, it does not matter. But more importantly, the race is not in the total budget but rather the % that ones put into QB, hence my allusion to "balance". Gotta find that beer right quick.
