this makes him the highest paid QB in the NFL
you guys know how much, I dislikes high paying QB
this is not a supply and demand thing
just pure greed, they are already making millions, more than you and me in our lifetime
sorry, but he probably not going win any more superbowl
MARK MY WORD
the seahawk will just be your 500 team
football is a team sport
and there's too much $$$ cap on one person
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26535311/seahawks-make-wilson-top-paid-nfl (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26535311/seahawks-make-wilson-top-paid-nfl)
The Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson have reached agreement on a four-year, $140 million extension that includes a $65 million signing bonus and makes the quarterback the highest-paid player in the NFL, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday morning.

last year
when my packer sign Aaron Rodger to a big contact
I even say they not going make it (coming from a packer fan)
NO MORE SUPERBOWL for Aaron rodger
I SAY IT
when kirk cousin sign with MN
forget about it
I SAY IT
when jimmy G sign with the 49ers
in your dreams
IT DOES NOT WORK
-
it's simple
football is a team sport
when you commit ton of $$$$ to one guy, hoping he will make up for 5-10 guys
IT DOES NOT WORK
you will be $$ cap
ain't no man is worth 5-10 men

Then you won't like Brady either as he's on the upper half in terms of all QB salaries...
this is not a supply and demand thing
Yes it is, Russell is the "supply" and he's able to "demand" that much money because if the Seahawks doesn't pay, someone else will more than likely pay him that much...
BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE "SUPPLY/DEMAND" BASIC CONCEPT IS...

Seems to "WORK" for the Patriots as Brady's salary alone is worth more than "5-10" players on the Patriot's roster...
-
Doesn’t matter if he will win or not. The contract is purely based on his skills and talents. Congratulation to Russell and his family. Well deserved.
By the way, before long, Mahomes will easily break that. I will not be surprise if he will get $45 mill a year.

Bro
I told you guys
High paying QB are badddd idea
It never works
Never has
One man does not equal 5 to 10 guys
TOM BRADY understand this
That’s why he and lots of patriots takes paycut
Google if you don’t believe
Theres a thing called the NFL salary cap
Google and learn about it
That’s why I make most of my predictions on
-
Take a look at DREW BREES
Dude took a paycut from the tom brady playbook
And they free up some cap
That’s why they been so dominating lately
Its not rocket science
-
Football is a TEAM sport
Incase you forgot
You need offense, defense, and special team
If you spend soo much $$$$ on offense
You going be slacking on defense and special team
Sorry bro
But i see Russell wilson running for his life
Due to even weaker protections
And getting injured
-
Mahomies got a little bit to go on his rookie deal
The next one on my radar is: DAK PRESCOTT
Of the Dallas cowboy
Might see a deal before training camp or next yeat
-
Bro
I told you guys
High paying QB are badddd idea
It never works
So it ignorant as it has worked with several QBs..
Never has
One man does not equal 5 to 10 guys
Then Tom Brady is in the same boat as his salary "equal" to or more than "5 to 10 guys" on the Patriots' roster..
TOM BRADY understand this
That’s why he and lots of patriots takes paycut
His salary still "equal" to or more than "5 to 10 guys" on the Patriots' roster so that's a useless points..Plus, he's one of the highest paid QB that has won the Super Bowl based on "salary cap"...
Theres a thing called the NFL salary cap
Google and learn about it
That’s why I make most of my predictions on
There's also a simple common sense concept called supply/demand...These guys are getting paid this much because the can...simple

Then how come Brees hasn't won a super bowl in 9 years??

Then how come Brees hasn't won a super bowl in 9 years??
drew brees took a paycut back in 2015 or 2016

Yes, you are "blind" or just have reading comp issues as usual because haven't seen anyone said he was in the "top 10" but he's still one of higher paid QB in league overall and yes, his salary still "equal" to or more than "5-10 guys" on the Pats' roster.. FACT!!!
And also yes, Brady is one of the highest paid QB to win a Super Bowl based on "salary cap" so it does "work" at times...FACT!!!
-
Highest paid or taking a pay-cut has nothing to do with winning Super Bowls. It’s their decisions to take a cut or demand their worth. One of these top four QBs will win the Super Bowl in three years.
Name one lowest paid QB who have won one title in the modern era.

noticed how tom brady is MIA
not even in the top 10
FACT DON'T LIE

it doesn't work, never has
Yes, it has "work" and yes Tom Brady was one of the QBs that has won a super bowl while being highly paid based on "salary cap"...
noticed how tom brady is MIA
not even in the top 10
FACT DON'T LIE
He's not in the top 10 but he's still one of the higher paid QBs overall in the league and his salary does "equal" to "5-10 guys" on the Pats' roster...
"FACT DON'T LIE"...
-
You don't get it but that's okay. The list of names will never ends, it's that way with any sports. But how many QB on that list have won? My point exactly.
Again, since you've missed the point I'll say it again, one of those highest paid will win the super bowl in three years.
Oh, what was your answer to my question, you could not come up with anyone right? lol
-
But how many QB on that list have won?
if you look at the high paid QB #1 pass few years
they never make it to the superbowl or won it
Matthew Stafford (zero superbowl)
Andrew Luck (zero superbowl)
Aaron Rodger (just a lousy one in 2010, never been back since)
fact don't lie bro
if you are paying someone that high
you expect to be at least the last two men standing
don't work
never has
never will
-
You're only focusing on those who haven't won, so of course you will find them. How about giving us a list of the last 10 super bowls, and tell us how much they made per year?
-

i'm not cherry picking
that is the list of the top paid QB year by year
tom brady salary is low
he doesn't even make it to the top 10
look at 2018 when FOLE MAGIC is in the air
he was paid only a mere $10 million ( probably in the bottom 20s)
carson wentz is still on his rookie deal, so probably just a few millions
https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/12/26/nick-foles-carson-wentz-philadelphia-eagles-contracts-2019 (https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/12/26/nick-foles-carson-wentz-philadelphia-eagles-contracts-2019)
Foles was amply rewarded in 2018 for his “bail out” last year. The Eagles gave him $9 million guaranteed—a $2 million signing bonus, a $3 million roster bonus, and a $4 million salary—with significant per-game playing time bonuses (and those amounts doubled in the playoffs, as well as many performance incentives). Foles will end up north of $10 million for 2018, as he should. Staying with the Eagles in 2019, however, is highly problematic.

fact don't lie, man
never work
never has
never will
i will even say the SEAHWAK FOR THIS UP COMING YEAR
will just be 500 team lower
come back in december and tell me im wrong
-
You’re not answering the question so I’ll move on.
These type of players just don’t come in a bunch, if you don’t pay them another team will.
Just like my team, if we don’t gamble and not draft a QB we will just be a 7-9 team at best this year. I am hoping that they will draft a QB or even trade up to make sure we get one!

I mention nothing of Kirk.
He makes stuff up when he loses to common sense and FACTS... ;D
I challenged him to proved where I said, I "didn't pick KC and NO" and got NOTHING, just tuck and run...
I mean a simple legit quote showing me saying it would be suffice...

I don't recall anyone in this thread saying he was in the "top 10" ...but yeah, I know, I know...reading comp issues...
However, he is one of the highly paid QBs that has won a Super Bowl based on "salary cap" ...so it has worked, FACT!!!
"JUST GOOGLE IT"... ;D
-
That makes ZERO sense
He is the highest paid quarterback
But he doesn’t even show up on the top 10 list
If he ain’t on the list
It’s because he ain’t the highest
Omg
Im speechless
Beyond words
Just WIKI it
-

But he doesn’t even show up on the top 10 list
Show me where I said, "He is the highest paid quarterback" or that he's in the "top 10 list"...I know you're just having reading comp issues as usual but feel free to prove where I said those things.
If he ain’t on the list
It’s because he ain’t the highest
No one said, he's the "highest" paid...Again, your reading comp issue is getting the best of you as usual..
Omg
Im speechless
Beyond words
Just WIKI it
I'm NOT "speechless" because that's how Frauds operate...
And while you're at, show me where I said, I "didn't pick KC and NO"...

kekeke
don't know/understand football cap space
here's a good wiki for you to read and learn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salary_cap#National_Football_League
In North American leagues
National Football League
The new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) formulated in 2011 had an initial salary cap of $120 million. While the previous CBA had a salary floor, the new CBA did not have one until 2013. Starting with that season, each team is required to spend a minimum of 88.8% of the cap in cash on player compensation,[8] and 90% in future years. However, the floor is based on total cash spent over each of two four-year periods, the first running from 2013–2016 and the second from 2017–2020. A team can be under the floor in one or more seasons in a cycle without violating the CBA, as long as its total spending during the four-year period reaches the required percentage of the cap.[8] This allows for unforeseen circumstances such as career ending injuries or unexpected player retirements leading to immediate penalty. As a result, teams are not forced to immediately take on a replacement for missing players which allows them to use more organic approaches such as a trade, free agency acquisition or the draft.
The NFL's cap is a hard cap that the teams have to stay under at all times, and the salary floor is also a hard floor. Penalties for violating or circumventing the cap regulations include fines of up to $5 million for each violation, cancellation of contracts and/or loss of draft picks. Violating the salary floor regulations does not result in any fines or competitive penalties; instead, deficiencies are placed into a pool and distributed among all players who were on the regular roster of the offending team during a four-year floor cycle, prorated according to time on the roster in said period.
The cap was first introduced for the 1994 season and was expected to be $32 million, but an unexpectedly high bid from Fox and other networks[9] increased the cap to $34.6 million. Both the cap and the floor are adjusted annually based on the league's revenues, and they have increased each year. In 2009, the final capped year under that agreement, the cap was $128 million per team, while the floor was 87.6% of the cap. Using the formula provided in the league's collective bargaining agreement, the floor in 2009 was $112.1 million. Under the NFL's agreement with the NFLPA, the effects on the salary cap of guaranteed payments (such as signing bonuses) are, with a few rare exceptions, prorated evenly over the term of the contract.
In transitions, if a player retires, is traded, or is cut before June 1, all remaining bonus is applied to the salary cap for the current season. If the payroll change occurs after June 1, the current season's bonus proration is unchanged, and the next year's cap must absorb the entire remaining bonus. When a player is franchise tagged the salary cap will be affected. When the salary cap can't be met for a tagged player the National Football League will fund the remainder of the contract. Only a single player may be tagged per year.

Don't understand the simple laws of supply and demand, read this:
Supply and Demand in the NFL
(http://athleticstandard.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/figure3.gif)
With the first iterations of the 2014 NFL mock draft it’s time to discuss the concept of supply and demand. Like any commodity that is bought and sold in the US the supply and demand relationship ultimately determines market value. While these three concepts are intertwined, they are completely separate. Understanding the current state of each of these principles can enable NFL agents to capture the greatest possible market position.
Why does this matter for NFL agents?
Every NFL agent wants to snag the next Peyton Manning Andrew Luck but chances are unless you are Drew Rosenhaus or work at CAA you’ll have to find someone else. The top picks are going to go to the established power houses, however with the league spending over 3.9 billion annually, there is plenty to go around.
What is demand?

It’s no secret that, in today’s information age, an agent can use technology clearly identify which teams are willing to spend for positions. Just a quick look at the numbers indicates that the Eagles will spend on offense ($74M) and the Bengals will spend on Defense ($69M). This kind of information, combined with League injury data and retirement insight, can give are agents a clear perspective of what type of players will be in demand for the next season.
What is Supply?

Attempting to determine the future supply of NFL players is a little more difficult. Every year the NFL Draft experts will attempt to subjectively break down the future value of a potential college player.
At the team level, scouting is more of an art rather than a science. Even after countless scientific papers have discussed the inaccuracy (and more over stupidity) of using a stopwatch to measure at 40 yard dash, teams continue to make multi-million dollar decisions on faulty and downright embarrassing data. To say it’s more entertainment than a science is an understatement .
Imagine if you had a way to cut through the nonsense of today’s NFL dog and pony show and could get the answer you want: which of these guys will make me money? The ASI index is every agent’s dream. Understanding this little secret can make even the newest agents rival the established power houses. The fact is it takes very few data points for agents to draw a concrete conclusion.
At the end of the day, less than 1% of the population has the basic physiological requirements (ASI greater than 1700) to play in the NFL. Even fewer have the skills, commitment and drive for long term success in the NFL. By simply eliminating physically unqualified potential prospects and reviewing the quality of outliers illustrated by a reliable data analytics system, savvy agents can leverage hidden correlations to turn 3rd round prospects into long-term gold mines (see Jamal Charles Article).
