Approaching QB numbers. Of course it's the guaranteed money that really counts.

Ed,

"Approaching" Five years ago 30-40 million was the QB range. In five years, we can see an OT or Edge at 40-50 million.

In 5 years, the QB will be approaching the $60-$70 million range. It's sort of mind-boggling how these numbers keep skyrocketing. It doesn't seem that long ago that QBs were at the top of the pyramid at $20 million and change a year.
Burns and Allen have similar production over their first 5 years. Neither has blown the doors off like a TJ Watt. Burns has been more consistent with Allen going off in his contract year that was by far his best.

If memory serves, Allen has been slowed down mainly due to injury issues

2020 he was out significant time. In the following two years his sack totals were 7.5 and 7.
If Burns plays like the company he's paid in, the Giants have a steal for a 2nd rounder.

If the reports of $88 million guaranteed for Josh Allen are correct this is stupid comment by Duggan. Burns has $41 million in guarantees according to OTC. $88 million, $41 million -- practically the same /sarcasm/
EDIT: Well, maybe not. Spotrac has Burns' guarantee at $87 million.

we could have drafted this guy one pick before instead of Jones!

The salaries have nothing to do with inflation. They are 48.5% of NFL revenue. The increases are the result of the owners bleeding the fans dry with pay-per-view (being forced to subscribe to service) excessive night games, and other profit-making measures (which generally make the game worse)

It was kind of a joke... not a funny one apparently.
Micah gonna want his big bucks soon..think his podcast will be focused on that deal? More headaches for the Pokes, plus Cee Dee is another.

I love hearing about Cowboy headaches :D
I wish their headaches were about draft busts instead of how they are going to sign guys that were All-pro as rookies

I'll take any Poke headaches I can get. At least Skippy Clueless is peeing in his pants lately.
The headaches are all well and good, but the reality is that they have finished ahead of the Giants, frequently by significant margins, in 8 of the last ten years. And have won 12 games the last three years. Over the last ten years they have clearly been the more competent and competitive franchise. Jerry and headaches notwithstanding.
Hard to believe any DE makes more $$$$$ than Watt or Garrett.

Josh Allen was considered by most to be a lock to go in the first 5 picks in the draft. Then the Raiders surprised everyone and drafted Clelin Ferrell from Clemson with the 4th pick. Suddenly Allen was sitting there for the Giants at number 6 and I was overjoyed.
Then, the Giants reached past him to take Daniel Jones. With the next pick, the Jags sent the card up for Josh Allen in about 3 seconds. It is right up there with the Mathias Kiwanuka selection as the most upset I have ever been during the draft as a Giants fan.
The Jags fans know what they have. Do we?
