Good question on Reddit....once Dan Snyder sells who will become the new most hated owner?

All of them are pretty unlikeable. Spanos, Haslam, Irsay, Bidwill...

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

'3 years', interested to see the terms and outs. Great locker room presence for whomever they bring in.

But best of luck to AT

lol @ 3 years. Better be one of those bs contract where its like 1 and maybe 2 if you play well enough

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Good to get a vet who's seen it all, very young WR room. Thielen probably more valuable to us off the field than on it. Still a good red zone threat for our rookie QB though.

Easier question. Which NFL owners are not campaigners.

Schefter has just said that CJ has agreed terms with Detroit.

looks like he's got some guarantees for the 2nd year

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Lions topping up nicely to counter the Bears cash splash.

Yeah saw, 14m guaranteed , 10m of it in his first year though so no stress

It feel strange. the Lions might actually be good.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Yeah, and they are fun to watch. Uneasy in the division.

If they do alright in the draft again, you would think they would actually be up for a little while.

I could easily see a scenario where it's the Bears and Lions duking it out next season for the NFC North title. I can see the Packers being in the mix but can't see the Vikings being competitive in 2023. Offensively I think the Vikings will be OK but the defence could be really bad....

 

[AJ_2000]

Interesting that its only 3 years - Tunsil is hoping to cash in again when the cap has exploded

Now watch them trade him for way unders

In any other sport it would be a 1 year deal with 2 years that are team options. Time to change the language

Either LA team, Kronke or Spanos. Take your pick.

Its the agents who want to sexy it up with bogus years.

 

[Brasher]

Lions would have to be favorites to win the NFC North yeah?

I'd love to know the delta between the average length of a players contract and their actual playing career.

2 years the line?

An article from the ringer a few years ago looked at this.

The Ringer studied every multiyear free-agent contract in Spotrac’s database signed from 2011, the start of the most recent collective bargaining agreement, to 2015—a total of 663 deals. This data focuses solely on contracts signed during free agency, so it doesn’t account for rookie contracts, contract extensions, or players who re-signed with their team before becoming unrestricted free agents. It also excludes one-year free-agent deals.

The results were staggering: A player who signs a five-year deal has better odds of lasting one year (14.7 percent) than he does of lasting five years (13.7 percent). Players who sign four-year contracts in free agency have the exact same odds of lasting one year on the deal (23.1 percent) as lasting four years. Players on three-year contracts have roughly the same odds of the deal ending in one full season or less (34.3 percent) as they do of lasting the full term (36.2 percent). Less than half of players who sign two-year deals last two years (45.8 percent), and one-sixth don’t even make it through the first year. If time is money, in the NFL both are relative.



Its a good read, especially if you like data.

How Long Do NFL Contracts Really Last?

We crunched the data on multiyear deals to see just how little security players have even after signing on long term

I would have them there yeah. Particularly if Williams first full season is what most think it will be, and they draft well again. Some more depth around WR/TE as a bit of injury insurance wouldn't hurt.

Next would be between the Packers and the Bears, think if Love has something it might be a refreshed Packers team and org, another year into Watson and Doubs without the intermittent sass of a HOF QB hanging over them, should be able to match last year.

Bears have splashed some cash, if it all slots in with what they draft this year and Fields continues to improve they could compete with the Lions for the Division, but they've definitely raised the floor, which shouldn't be hard.

Vikings roster wise are entering the first real phase of a Kwesi 'competitive rebuild'. Shedding some money with some big contracts to negotiate on the horizon. Treading water while waiting out Kirk etc. Expect we buckle up for a few years of hoping these guys can draft, much like Hawthorn .

Will be interesting/exciting to see how much of a job Flores can do. Hoping with see a healthy Cine and Booth Jr. so we can start to get a proper read on the last draft.

Waiting on that Cook to join his brother and Diggs at the Bills tweet

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Texans signed TE Dalton Schultz, formerly of the Cowboys, to a one-year, $9 million contract.​

Schultz has been one of the more productive tight ends over the last three seasons, posting a line of 198-2000-17 over that span. Despite his productivity and reputation of being one of Dak Prescott's favorite targets, Schultz will now head South for Houston, joining the revamping Texans on a one-year deal worth up to $9 million. With a career aDOT of 7.0, Schultz offers little upside as a downfield threat, but he's shown reliable hands and an ability to move the chains and should make for a good security blanket for the Texans' incoming rookie quarterback.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Couple of solid adds by the Texans.
